In or around 2008 when I had more free time and could read every single blog I came across on the internet, I found Sweet Paul, a mostly decor & food & fantastic photography blog and fell in love. But when I became depressed about living in the same dark condo for far too many …
My birthday came and went this year without much fuss, which is mostly how I like it. I’m 37, there’s no need for fanfare. Though I do suspect in a few years time, a combined 40th bash will be necessary since the husband and I are the same age. But until then and probably after, …
Jon Whitcomb illustration of Marilyn Monroe {because it’s her birthday too & I just LOVE this illustration} It’ my birthday today. Yes, today marks the 37th year I’ve been wandering this little area of the planet and the 6th year I’ve celebrated it here on this blog, so I thought I do a special edition …
I shot a few photos the other day of my office decor progress and was editing them to share with you when I realized I never posted any “before” shots. So I went through my archives and found a few photos I took before we moved in, some while we were on a quick overnight …
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 …

It’s Friday and it’s February 1st and love is in the air! Doesn’t Bebop look lovely in pink pearls? As an alternative to last year’s cute hearts Valentine’s Day nail art, I thought I’d take the saucier route this year with a little hot pink, black lace mesh, and gold glitter. Now, there are many …
* 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 …
Find me on Instagram to see these in real time. *Click to enlarge for Pinning. More than blogging, Instagram has this way of really and truly capturing moments in time, which obviously, is it’s purpose, of course. But even though I can go back through my blog and see photos and read old posts like …
While fashion’s all a buzz with Pre-Fall 2013 collections, I’ve been so preoccupied with moving and decor and home furnishings as of late {and dressing for my new freezing & fun snowy environment} that I have barely been paying attention to anything fashion-related at all {well, other than a bit of shopping here and there …
Wow. We have been in our new house for just over a week and it already feels like a month has passed! Our original moving date was mid-month but due to snowy conditions, we pushed it up to the 5th and I’m so happy we did. We are new to all this snow stuff, so …

I was really looking forward to last week. Firstly because it offered some R&R from the week prior, which had me buzzing around like a chicken with its head cut off {and may or may not have ended in a mini break-down}. Secondly, it was voting week! Not only did we as Americans get to …
