Lovecats! I finished my painting and I LOVE IT! I had SO MUCH FUN painting this that I miss it now! It took me about two weeks to finish and was the thing I looked forward to the MOST every day. It’s one of those things you just can’t wait to finish but it’s bittersweet …
I sit in my living room at the end of each day and look around and smile. I love my house. It makes me so happy and for some reason I still don’t feel like that in itself, is enough to stay in it. But it should be. Why do I feel like I don’t …
I’ve FINALLY gotten a few leafy plants to survive in this corner of my living room!!! The only thing that really works decor-wise in this corner is a plant… a LARGE plant… or a hanging chair, but a plant is easier. However… very few plants enjoy this corner long enough to survive the winter due …
Welcome to our upstairs hallway/sitting area! This space was one of the unique things I really loved about this house. It has a kind-of dollhouse feeling, with a slanted ceiling on one side and a wall of doorways leading to 3 small rooms on the other side, then a walkthrough bathroom to another step-down bedroom …
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 …
My living room/great room {I never know just how to refer to it really} is an ongoing project of decorating and redecorating, as many of the rooms in your homes probably are as well. It’s just never complete and never quite right and now that it’s Summer, my winter-warm accents seem too heavy. The Summer …
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 …
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 …
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 …
 Looks oddly similar to our old master bedroom, no? 😉I tend to be one of those people who doesn’t paint every room in her house a different color. I like neutrals, I like consistency, and I don’t like walking into a room of a house that doesn’t look like it fits with the rest of …
Our house is situated on two lanes… with exterior doors on both… and therefore it isn’t quite sure which to call the front door and which to call the back. It doesn’t really matter because we don’t have a postal delivery service here, but go and pick up our mail and packages in the Village …
A month or so ago I asked you guys to help me choose a mirror for my vanity area in my new office/workspace. While I really loved all of the mirrors, I went with the Ablenay Mirror from Lamps Plus because I thought it would really work well with my Italian lamps, as well as …
Lake House Pinterest Board via French GreyI have been known to, on more than one occasion, spy an amazingly large fallen tree branch while outside, decide it’s perfection, drag it home, wash it, and use it as decor in my own house. Note the word “fallen”, as I would never cut a tree and steal …
* My UNFINISHED vanity area above * As unfortunate as it is that I can’t have my double lamps on my console table behind my sofa in my living room, I’m making up for it in my new home office. Using the same Ikea 3-drawer dressers that my husband and I bought for our first …
I don’t like to buy things needlessly {unless they go on my feet ;} and I love repurposing my old furniture and home decor into new rooms and new uses. In fact, I get really excited about it. Kind of like DIYing something new to wear from something that was about to get donated! But …
