I love a great nautical tabletop and rope napkin rings are so easy and inexpensive to make, you’d almost be a fool to buy them 😉 From rustic to nautical, Thanksgiving to the 4th of July, rope napkin rings work with nearly any color scheme or theme. I love them and use them year-round! Tip: …
Since my last patio/outdoor living space post I’ve added a few new details: decorative throw pillows, a faux leather ottoman, a leafy plant in a blue pot, bbq {unseen} & an umbrella for shade. This is a view from the pool side and while I’m not a huge fan of the chain link fence, it …
It was a blank slate when we moved in …well, other than the fern wallpaper, which if you look closely {at the top two pics}, is two different colors. As if they ran out of paper mid-project and when they went back to get more, they picked up the wrong one but didn’t realize it …
I bought these adorable chalkboard dots decals {for $15} at a Gilt home sale forever ago and completely forgot about them until yesterday when they arrived at my doorstep. Fun! Â Â . . .and so glad they’re removable and re-stickable because my first idea literally looked like a sideways Mickey Mouse . . . …
. . .when we moved in, it looked like this . . . . . .and with a little help from my brother . . . Â Â . . . it became this . . . . . . and with a little white paint & elbow grease…and cute aqua polka dotted contact paper I …

. . . a tour . . . Â Â Â Old galvanized tea light lanterns from Ikea which used to hang outside & became weathered over time …loved the way the old nasty rope looked in the bathroom …but one snapped the other day so I had to replace the rope . . .I stitched loops in …
Phrena Pendant Lamp from the MOMA Store     It came as a plug-in pendant lamp but it was easy enough for my bro to snip it and hardwire it right into where the old lamp was. I spent under $10 for the simple white cover.   Like a halloween pumpkin decoration, you open it and …
When we first walked through this house the one and only negative, in my opinion, was the main bathroom which also serves as the master bathroom. At first glance, the brick flooring and brick countertop was a bit much …then add a blue tub and a blue stall shower surrounded by more brick with old …
When we moved into this house I noticed a pile of extra bricks placed neatly in a corner of our garage and immediately had the idea to use them to replace the ugly plastic border around the backyard garden planter. And every single time I look out the windows into the backyard I think about …
When we moved into our new house in January, the entire front yard surrounding the lovely brick patio was covered in rocks …and not nearly enough rocks to hide the black plastic underneath. I hated it. When we signed our lease they agreed to let me plant grass. I said we wouldn’t take the place …
I’m slowly working on completing our master bedroom decor, and now I’m currently on the hunt for some decorative knobs to replace the ones residing on the cupboards above my husband’s closet. Normally I would just leave these fairly unnoticeable white ball knobs but one is missing so they must all be replaced. Which also …
I hate clutter. Once I decorate a room, I want it to stay that way …but inevitably, and over time especially, it becomes filled with all the little things you have no other place for. And on a daily basis, a safe place to toss your keys, phones, wallets, sunglasses, and of course, biodegradable doggie …
The last time I went to the carpet remnant warehouse, I found a really great 9′ x 7′ thick shag piece for our master bedroom for $40 {and remember the ones in my kitchen for $10?}. However, once I put the bed over it and got a few more pieces of furniture in there, the …
As I stated in a previous post, a single room in the new house is yet to be completed. The kitchen is probably the closest to finished but the art remains on the floor leaning against the wall, I am in need of a spice shelf and possibly a great vintage clock …but I’m gonna …
