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 …
I follow Harolds Finishing Touches on Instagram and am in love with the rich hues and chic vignettes in each & every photo. They’ve mostly got a darker, masculine feel, but with bursts of color, florals, whimsy, and all include curiously interesting objects. Upon further investigation, wherein I simply followed the link, I found Harolds …
I randomly happened upon these agate knobs and handles at West Elm the other day and instantly fell in love! I generally won’t drop $14 on a single knob, because WHAT!??!, however, these were just the perfect addition to give our upstairs hallway cabinets a little more style and I couldn’t pass them up. I …
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} …
Filling clear glass ornaments is nothing new, nor does it actually need a DIY tutorial. However, since they are so pretty, and since I strung them on rope and hung them as garland, I thought I’d share it anyway for a little inspiration. What You’ll Need… Clear glass ornaments. I used glass hearts I …
Today’s DIY comes to you from my fabulous contributor, Michele Redmon If you’re like me then you’re drawn to simple, uncluttered objects with unexpected visual interest. In this project the pairing of plain terra cotta pots with accents of gold leafing gives us just that, with the perfect combination of rustic simplicity and glamour. In …
I still haven’t decided how to decorate my table for Thanksgiving this year. Actually, that’s not completely true, I recently bought a short money tree that I am in love with and was hoping to find a second one at the local nursery to pair together as part of a centerpiece design… but alas, they …
My home office sitting area is in constant flux. I originally purchased a few black velvet chairs for the space, but quickly realized they weren’t comfy/cozy enough for actually using them for what I wanted, though they looked nice. Luckily, when I bought them, I knew they’d also work in the master bedroom {which I’ve …
When I worked at the art gallery, I always snatched up old frames that were headed for the dumpster for my own use at a further date. I think I actually started hoarding them at one point, as I just couldn’t see these perfectly good -and expensive frames getting dumped because the gallery no longer …
I ADORE these textile covered pendant light cords… OBSESSED doesn’t come close to describing my love for them and I only wish I found them a week prior to having a pendant lamp installed in one of our guest rooms, because this pretty pink cord would have made the PERFECT addition to the floaty white …
A few weeks ago I bought this metal 2 Piece Crane Décor Set for $45 at Joss & Main to sort of satiate my Large Animal Statues & Figurines obsession {because I just can’t justify spending hundreds on one} in my Home Office Sitting Area. When they arrived, however, in opposite colors of how they …
The BEST recommendations come from friends, don’t they? ANNNNND bloggers, of course. The other day drollgirl sent me a link to these adorable dipped wooden bowls, planters, and more from Etsy shop Wind & Willow Home and I have gone back just to look at them {and decide whether I need them and can’t live …
I recently {and finally} moved a few items around in our living room/great room and have an open corner that is just screaming for a bright green, large leafed and substantial indoor tree. Back in LA, I’d always opt for large palms or Banana Leaf trees for indoors, but I’m not exactly sure a palm …
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 …
I just recently stumbled upon these really cool Test Tube Chandeliers inspired by Polish scientist Marie Sklodowska Curie and designed by Pani Jurek, with one and two rows of test tubes. So clever! They’re really so pretty the way the little bottles each hang suspended from the base… and imagine all the fun stuff you …
