When we first moved into this rental house from our tiny condo in the beginning of 2010, we were playing a lot of games with friends like Rock Band, Guitar Hero, etc. so I created our Rock and Roll Video Game Room. But over the past two years, and as I’ve gotten busier, our plastic …
Home Decor Spotlight : Ceiling Beams
I have a love affair with ceiling beams, I really do, so I’m super excited that our main room, my new studio and office space, as well as our master bedroom, are lined with ceiling beams.

Trying NOT to Visually Decorate our {Possible} New House is REALLY DIFFICULT, especially because that’s all I want to do
We are apparently in phase two of our loan process and in escrow on our house in Lake Arrowhead. Everything is looking good and technically, monetarily speaking, we should have no problems getting this house. However, in this market, with the ever-careful banks, who only a few years back were giving loans to deceased people …

A Happy Chevron Printed Halloween

Dynamic Duo: Green + Leopard Print
Made up of black and brown tones, leopard print works splendidly as a neutral and often looks great against almost any color, but paired with green is one of my all-time favorite combos.

DIY Dip Painted Chopsticks Using Nail Polish
Just thought a fun little gathering would be all the more festive with customized dip dyed chopsticks! Especially because, it’s relatively free!
