There is one thing about my house that I don’t particularly love… and it’s that I don’t have a formal entryway. My front door is next to my fireplace, right in my living room. You just walk right in. If I could extend the area and add on an entryway area, I would. And maybe …
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} …
I love a good inspiration board in my office. In fact, I’ve had some sort of bulletin board with clippings and photos and magazine tears in my room since I was a kid. I love it. I can’t really live without one …dramatic, yes. So it was only obvious I was going to add one …
The other night as I was trying to fall asleep, I caught the beginning of Sex and the City 2 for the 10th time and was inspired by Carrie’s tassel fringe trimmed curtains . . . . . . so while at JoAnn’s the other day I picked up some black tassel fringe trim thinking …
Besides my very favorite heart shaped spoon {above}, which you may remember from my Yogurt Pie Recipe Post {which I WILL be making for Easter}, the silverware or, flatware to be correct, that lives in our house is a mix of a modern/simple handled variety, {mine} and a more ornate/floral pattern {the husband’s}. I don’t …
Okay, I’ll admit I had high hopes for finishing my office makeover by last Tuesday …and boy was I off. While I do have my new shelves and desk system all set up and am LOVING it, I just cannot decide what curtains to go with.Originally I thought I wanted this room to be very …
Do you remember the black feather wreath I hung on the front door as part of our Halloween decor? {click here for a refresher} …well the other day as I was pondering light fixtures for our dining room {we have a boring, boob-like, ceiling fixture} I randomly held the feather wreath around the base of …
My first thought for decor above the fireplace/mantel was a large starburst mirror. I wanted something with a vintage feel and a bit different from the norm and finally found the overlapping circles mirror and thought it would be perfect. But when I returned home and held it up, I realized a mirror would be …
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 …
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 …

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 …
