The day I got the keys to my new place, I was chatting with the manager on the phone and she encouraged me to bring over a few little items ASAP to make it feel like my own. As I was running out the door to meet her, I grabbed three things; an antique copper …
This DIY should technically fall under Renter Hacks because if I owned this place I would have simply hired someone to remove this ceiling fan and install a pendant lamp and call it a day (I don’t mess with electrical). But sometimes having constraints forces you to get a little creative and that’s just what …
Well, I must admit that I have not entirely finished decorating my office sitting area BUT I finally received my globe chandelier/pendant light fixture and was so excited to share I thought it wouldn’t really matter. And even though I really didn’t capture many angles of the space (oops), this is the sitting area you …
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 …
I’ve had this desk system from Ikea now for well over five years, and I have to say, for what I use it for, it’s still totally functional and amazing. I love all the shelves and the size of the desk is perfect for my needs. It has held up through a move and still …
Leather can be an intimidating material to work with, but if you have the right tools, it’s actually pretty simple and straightforward, and can totally enhance the look with simple design elements. I love how it can transform a completely modern kitchen and give it a bit of warmth and rustic character, with the littlest …
I must have come across this cute pink ombre heart branch wall art on Pinterest, I can’t remember, but it seems to be the place I randomly find the cutest things ever, and being that we’re now heading towards Valentine’s Day, I thought it was also cute to share… though I think you could create …

Soooo, if you’ve been following along the last few weeks, you already know that I’ve been giving my Home Office {slash dressing room – slash studio – slash everything space} a little makeover refresh. It’s a combination of needing my space in a new way, decluttering, freeing up space and letting energy flow, adding a …
I mentioned the other day that this week I’ve been cleaning out my office and giving it a little refresher and though I thought I’d be done by now, I’m still just not. But in the mean time, I’ve done a few little DIYs to bring the space together and this is one of them. …

After I made my DIY Glam Feather Canopy for our master bedroom, my cousin Kelley texted me asking about making one that was a little more affordable and kid-friendly for her daughter, Avery, my Goddaughter, who is nine years old now. I immediately thought of feather boas, since you can get them at your local …
Our Master Bedroom in this house is quite large, making it a bit difficult to decorate, and seemingly taking forever. When we moved in, I knew what pieces from our old house/living & dining room, would be repurposed for the space, giving it a glam feel, and painted the walls a medium gray. One of …
Brass sea urchins, sometimes referred to as starbursts, are standard in many Mid-Century Modern design & sculptural art pieces. From lamps to mirrors to simple home decor accents and mostly wall art, made famous by Curtis Jere (and Jerry Fels) a.k.a. C. Jere, these exciting designs are iconic of the 1960s decor. For so long, …
{Maegan’s Note // As we embark on a monstrous landscaping project of our own, I sometimes think WHY didn’t I just do this myself!?! It still feels larger than life, but is already taking far longer than I expected even to just get started and costs are already rising before a brick gets laid, a …
