NOTE: These are the original photos from the MLS listing just to give you an idea of the look and layout of the house before I moved in (which was about four weeks ago). Happy Monday Lovecats! I honestly can’t believe I’m actually here… in a new house, in a new town, in a completely …
I doubt this post is going to be that exciting BUT I feel like it’s pretty informative IF you’re interested in shortening a rug so it fits your space better… so if you’re into that kinda thing, then keep reading 🙂 Rather than two small rugs, I wanted a long runner for my little bathroom …
Welcome to my little kitchen! I’d give you a tour, but this is pretty much it! However, I dressed up to match so I may as well go into detail about every little thing because well, that’s what bloggers do, right? Well that’s what I’m going to do, with links to what you see, in …
A few months ago… way back in summer, I had the urge to paint my drippy watercolor flowers that I had previously only done on paper, on a much larger scale and on a canvas. My first thought was to buy a pre-stretched canvas, but they are always so expensive and never in the larger …
Moving into the townhouse meant a lot of downsizing, which I am not so good at. I still have so much stuff from my first house in storage and well, you get the point. I have a lot of stuff and this is the year it’s either staying or it’s going. First to go was …
Hi Lovecats and Happy November! I’ve got a little life update I’ve been wanting to share with you for the past few weeks but haven’t been able to because my site has been basically broken, but it also seems fitting that I share now, at the beginning of the month, so here goes… I moved. …
As a Lake Arrowhead local and business owner (Dogwood Tavern in Blue Jay and Dogwood Dockside at the Marina) I follow as many (if not all) local businesses on the mountain and their Instagram accounts, including the Airbnb’s, and while there are so many truly adorable and perfectly remodeled rental cabins up here, the Little …
As far as design trends go, it sort of feels like white kitchens are a thing of the past and warmer, woodsier, darker and more natural or contemporary kitchens are making a comeback HOWEVER, I sort of view white kitchens as a clean slate and depending on the materials used, offer a timeless look that …
Hi Lovecats! Just thought I’d share a little update on the family lake house we’ve been renovating for the last few months, though it’s not all that exciting, I still wanted to share the process, which of course, has taken far longer than we all anticipated. In my experience, construction and renovation always takes at …
I’ve been DYING to DIY the exterior of my office since signing the lease last October, but the weather has kept me from really moving forward with it, and now that the sun is shining and the birds are chirping, my office looks like it’s brimming with life as well… and I love it. I …
If you follow decor trends or well, mostly Instagram trends maybe, you’ll know that the mirror above is all the rage right now… and actually has been for the last few years or so based on how many bloggers and influencers have it in their homes and shoot it on the regular. It’s called the …
I’m finally in what I consider the most fun part of my office renovation and that is DECORATING! Chad has been working on my desk makeover, which just needed a (major planing and sanding) and paint refresh, but he gave it a really cool distressed top I can’t wait to show you and in the …
Lovecats! Just a heads up! This is a guest post, which I don’t do very often 🙂 But I think it’s pretty interesting and I thought you might think so too. I learned about Feng Shui and the connection between humans and a universal energy over 20 years ago (yikes!) and have always designed and …
I’ve been dying DIY lately, and even have a few fun ideas… but it’s time I’m lacking. Trying to balance my time lately has been a bit of a challenge and sometimes it takes everything being completely chaotic to get to a point where you can look at all the things and say OKAY, I …
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 …
