A few months ago I was sent Color Wow Root Cover Up {temporary hair color/powder} to try out and I’ve been sort of waiting for my roots to grow out to really give it a proper test. And now’s that time! As I’ve probably mentioned a hundred times since 2007 when I started this blog, …

Decor Finds | Agate Knobs & Pulls from West Elm
I randomly happened upon these agate knobs and handles at West Elm the other day and instantly fell in love!

Mountain Life | Lou Eddie’s Pizza in Skyforest
Last week the husband and I did a little exploring and found an amazingly quaint pizza place in Skyforest called Lou Eddie’s {just on the rim of the mountain, above where we live in Lake Arrowhead about 10 minutes away} and even though we must have passed it numerous times, hadn’t notice it until this …

Home // Stairwell to Garage Whimsical Makeover // Before & After
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} …
