I stumbled across these gorgeous sea glass and driftwood mobiles on Pinterest the other day and have not stopped thinking about them since. They are just so pretty and so clever and if you have access to sea glass, driftwood, & transparent nylon thread, a rather easy DIY as well. I’m not into taking money …
by guest contributor Paisley Hansen Vintage and antique furniture often work well with items from other periods and and modern decades. Built using quality lumber and fasteners, they are a good investment. However, those treasures from the past might look a little tired and faded. Refinishing can bring back their beauty or add a new …
This post & room makeover is brought to you by Hunters Alley. One of my resolutions this year was to finish decorating every space in our house, to a point where they each felt finished. I do have plans for future renovations, but since we’re beginning our landscaping adventure this year, actual house renos will …
Every one of the rooms upstairs as well as the long slanted hallway in our home was fitted with ugly brass “boob” ceiling lights, typical of apartments and rentals. And in a rental, I don’t mind them so much, but in my home, I can’t stand them. I’ve replaced most of them with new pendants …

Some years I decorate for the spring and Easter and some years I don’t. I would say that it most often depends on whether I’m hosting the holiday occasion or not, and with the puppies still so tiny, and Easter just around the corner, I’m still undecided about having the family up for the day …
Our house is never done. I have ideas and thoughts about how it “should” look and how to make it better and they are never-ending and forever swirling… you’re probably the same 🙂 But for now, this is what our living room looks like. And I am content… for now. It’s a good thing though, …
A few weeks ago I met with Lorenzo at SPLA | Scott Peterson Landscape Architect, a local landscaping firm here in Lake Arrowhead, and with the owners of my favorite local nursery in Cedar Glenn as well, to get started on reimagining our residential home exterior space -front yard and back- and last Friday I …
As part of my partnership with Ecco Domani, last Tuesday evening I took over their Instagram account for a little over and hour and flooded it with photos of my home {and their yummy wine, of course} sharing little tips and tricks I do to make every day a little more extraordinary and special. And …
But first, this is our house now… Click to see more: how our property looks now | 2 Above: Front | 2 Below: Back I’m sure I’ve said this before, but one of the things that turned me off to the house we ended up buying, was the way it looked from the outside. It …
Welcome to our upstairs hallway/sitting area! This space was one of the unique things I really loved about this house. It has a kind-of dollhouse feeling, with a slanted ceiling on one side and a wall of doorways leading to 3 small rooms on the other side, then a walkthrough bathroom to another step-down bedroom …
I follow Harolds Finishing Touches on Instagram and am in love with the rich hues and chic vignettes in each & every photo. They’ve mostly got a darker, masculine feel, but with bursts of color, florals, whimsy, and all include curiously interesting objects. Upon further investigation, wherein I simply followed the link, I found Harolds …
I randomly happened upon these agate knobs and handles at West Elm the other day and instantly fell in love! I generally won’t drop $14 on a single knob, because WHAT!??!, however, these were just the perfect addition to give our upstairs hallway cabinets a little more style and I couldn’t pass them up. I …
I love decorating small spaces. More specifically, I love decorating small spaces that don’t actually “need” to be decorated, like the stairwell to the garage, for instance! This is more of a utility space {for getting things down to the garage from the house and/or up from the garage into the house, you get it} …
