As I mentioned in my First Look at My New Office post a few days ago, I knew when I walked into this space that this is where my desk would go. The ceiling on this side is dropped with recessed boxed fluorescent lighting fixtures and flanked with a popcorn textured finish. The other side …

Decor Trends // How To Get the New Woven Cane Furniture Look
Source: The Style Saloniste Nothing reminds me of ’80s decor more than these woven cane chairs… well, and that orange-stained oak that they seemingly built everything in, and country blue and bears and… OK, there are a LOT of things that remind me of ’80s decor, but these chairs epitomize the decade for me. However, …

My New Office Renovation Progress Update
Happy Monday Lovecats! I hope you are well 🙂 It’s been two months since we started renovating my new office and that means it’s two months longer than I wanted it to take to finish it. But you know what they say about renovation… it always takes twice as long as you think it will …
New Mountain A-Frame Office Color Palette & Mood Board
Well, my excitement for renovating and decorating my new office was put slightly on hold this week when on Monday evening, after spending a good part of the afternoon painting (priming) the exterior of the A-frame, I started feeling under the weather. And then for the days that followed I basically sat at home on …

DIY DECOR Inspiration // Tiled Tables
If you’ve been noticing design trends reminiscent of the ’80s, you are not alone. The soft pastels and big bulky rounded edges on everything from sofas and chairs, to tables, architecture and even kitchen islands, surprisingly looks fresh and new again. And for those born after the ’80s, it probably looks like nothing you’ve ever …

I feel like I’ve been stringing you guys along with this final bathroom reveal (I mean, for those of you who care lol), but I promise I’m not! I blame the quarantine that has me motivated and inspired and feeling great one day followed by two days of complete lack of motivation, anxiety and mini …
They Can Dance, We’ll Stay Home Instead

This was a sort of last minute DIY because this quarantine finally gave us the time we needed to wallpaper the guest bathroom and give it a little makeover ANNNND I needed something on the wall that was textured and circular and a little funky with a pop of color… and then I thought that …
Home // Bright and Airy Little Laundry Room Makeover
The laundry room was one of the first rooms we finished in the house (second to the girls’ room) and that’s mostly because it’s so small and it didn’t take much to finish. I’m not sure why it’s taken me so long to share but probably because it seemed too simple, but since it is …
Sunday House Crush // Enchanting Rustic Villa Mountain Home
Oh I just adore this estate in Sky Forest. It’s closer to the rim of the mountain than to the lake (and sort of on the way to the castle house that I also adore), but still only about a five minute drive to the lake or under. I remember it well because my mom …
