I still haven’t decided how to decorate my table for Thanksgiving this year. Actually, that’s not completely true, I recently bought a short money tree that I am in love with and was hoping to find a second one at the local nursery to pair together as part of a centerpiece design… but alas, they …
My home office sitting area is in constant flux. I originally purchased a few black velvet chairs for the space, but quickly realized they weren’t comfy/cozy enough for actually using them for what I wanted, though they looked nice. Luckily, when I bought them, I knew they’d also work in the master bedroom {which I’ve …
When I worked at the art gallery, I always snatched up old frames that were headed for the dumpster for my own use at a further date. I think I actually started hoarding them at one point, as I just couldn’t see these perfectly good -and expensive frames getting dumped because the gallery no longer …
As I flipped through my latest Elle Decor mag the other day, I got as far as the very first page, or the very last that is, and immediately set it down, got up, and started rummaging through my DIY supplies to find my little ball tassels to DIY my own version of the adorable …
I ADORE these textile covered pendant light cords… OBSESSED doesn’t come close to describing my love for them and I only wish I found them a week prior to having a pendant lamp installed in one of our guest rooms, because this pretty pink cord would have made the PERFECT addition to the floaty white …
A few weeks ago I bought this metal 2 Piece Crane Décor Set for $45 at Joss & Main to sort of satiate my Large Animal Statues & Figurines obsession {because I just can’t justify spending hundreds on one} in my Home Office Sitting Area. When they arrived, however, in opposite colors of how they …
The BEST recommendations come from friends, don’t they? ANNNNND bloggers, of course. The other day drollgirl sent me a link to these adorable dipped wooden bowls, planters, and more from Etsy shop Wind & Willow Home and I have gone back just to look at them {and decide whether I need them and can’t live …
Our new master bedroom, like most of the rooms in our new home by the lake, is only partially complete… eight months after moving in, we are still only partially done with everything. I guess that’s normal, but it’s constantly nagging at me to finish! Since the master gets the least amount of traffic on …
I have found a few really amazing home decor/design boutiques up here and while they all lean a little on the woodsy side, each has its own distinctive style and this is one of my favorites. Many offer interior design services as well. Just as you enter the Lake Arrowhead Village, there’s a gorgeous little …
As I’m sure I’ve mentioned 1million times, but just as a quick refresher, this house was second to last on our list of about 18 houses we wanted to look at up here in Lake Arrowhead when we were on a serious hunt for real estate. I was 100% reading a book by its cover …
I recently {and finally} moved a few items around in our living room/great room and have an open corner that is just screaming for a bright green, large leafed and substantial indoor tree. Back in LA, I’d always opt for large palms or Banana Leaf trees for indoors, but I’m not exactly sure a palm …
LeRoy: Bellboy, Welcoming Committee, Breaker of Wind, Conversation StarterI was so excited to get to participate in this Sherwin-Williams makeover project because I really hadn’t planned on spending too much more time {or money} on this particular room. As far as I was concerned, it was done enough for a guest room {see the before …
on the edge of my desk in my office in a vintage decanterFreshly cut Lilacs are sprouting up all over the house… I just can’t seem to get enough! They’re gorgeous and they smell delicious and they brighten up every room. In My Office… on the little coffee table vintage brass elephant, Bazaar Fashion Book, …
Let me first begin by saying that if you take a look at my Office, Closet, Dressing Room Pinterest Board, you can get a feel for my overall inspiration on this room, which is the most feminine room in the entire house. Please note that this is the only room that looks like this and …
I shot a few photos the other day of my office decor progress and was editing them to share with you when I realized I never posted any “before” shots. So I went through my archives and found a few photos I took before we moved in, some while we were on a quick overnight …
