After getting the down low from our friends about how awesome Poo~Pourri is and posting about it here, we’ve gotten to try it out for ourselves and the verdict is in, this stuff works! We’ve got a few bottles in every bathroom in our home now. My favorite part about it is that it doesn’t …
Lake House Exterior Roof Addition // New Veranda
Every time I talk about our house, I refer to the original listing and can’t help mentioning that it was low on my list of homes to see in Lake Arrowhead. I didn’t like the way the exterior looked at all and since there were no interior photos listed, I begrudgingly added it to the …
Outdoor Living // Bright & Bold Patio Space
I think I accidentally stumbled on Tobi Fairley Interior Design via Joss & Main‘s design magazine, Plume and got lost in her portfolio of brightly patterned rooms and traditional spaces. I love when I find something new on the internet that I haven’t seen all over Pinterest already, and maybe it’s because I just generally …
How To Fold a Fitted Sheet Perfectly In Seconds!
Apparently, Thursday was National Make Your Bed Day… there seems to be a dedicated day, week, or silly holiday for everything now! But in light of it, and since I rarely make my own bed {I’m such a rebel, I know} I thought I’d share this great video & photo tutorial from Crane & Canopy …
Mixed Prints // Interiors // Long Hallway Sitting Area // Bulldogs
Originally this post was meant to show off our new black and white polka dotted rug in the Long Hallway Sitting Area with Slanted Ceiling {which let’s be honest, I set in place right around the 4th of July, so it’s not so new anymore} but now it just seems like an excuse to post …
Enchanted Easter Table Setting Inspiration from Art de Fete
Some years I decorate for the spring and Easter and some years I don’t. I would say that it most often depends on whether I’m hosting the holiday occasion or not, and with the puppies still so tiny, and Easter just around the corner, I’m still undecided about having the family up for the day …
House Hacks For Pet Owners
by Michele Redmon I have two adorably mischievous cats, Henry and Rosie. We love them so much, but for being so small they can make a mighty big mess. Between the litter box, the toys, the accidents (LOL, with cats there are no, “accidents”) and hair on everything, I am one broken vacuum away from …
Lake House Landscaping Project Phase 1: Conceptual Designs
A few weeks ago I met with Lorenzo at SPLA | Scott Peterson Landscape Architect, a local landscaping firm here in Lake Arrowhead, and with the owners of my favorite local nursery in Cedar Glenn as well, to get started on reimagining our residential home exterior space -front yard and back- and last Friday I …
Console Table Styling & Decor Inspiration
I love a great console table with a pair of dueling lamps at either end. It must be the symmetry of the look that is so pleasing to my visual eye. In fact, I was hoping to get the look behind our new sectional sofa on the window side, but low and behold, I don’t …
White on White // My January Mantelscape
I wasn’t quite ready to box up all my pretty floral Christmas tree ornaments just yet, so I found a new home for them on the cow skull above the fireplace… the horns to be exact. The purple and blues actually work really well against the facing dark gray walls of my living room and …
The Mystery of My Golden Stumps {Side Tables} Solved
When I found these golden tree stump side tables at The Sherman Oaks Antique Mall {for $25 each!!!!} I had to have them. They were just too unique to pass up and the price was ridiculously right. There is no designer stamp to be found on them and since they were used a bit I …
