I have been wanting to replace the little secretary desk by our front door for a long time. I knew I probably wanted a book case and had my eye out for one that was just the right size. Ding-ding-ding! We have a winner! I love how this beachy bookcase makeover turned out! Last […]
Refreshing the house for spring. Lighten up, already!
Even though the calendar says it is spring, much of the country is under several inches of snow. Brr. We don’t have that problem here in Southern California, but I’m still itching to lighten up around the house. I’m ready to bring in some color and some more light. I realized one of the things […]
Mixing patterns and colors… It shouldn’t be scary.
Are you a scaredy-cat when it comes to mixing patterns? Do you wonder how some designers and home decor bloggers seem to do it effortlessly, while if you give it a go it looks like your room was designed by the Ringling Brothers? How about color? Are you go big or go home kind of person […]
Faux Foil Wrapped Chocolate Eggs
Over the weekend I was feeling a little crafty. We’ve all seen the faux foil wrapped chocolate bunnies, but how about some faux foil wrapped chocolate eggs? (And believe it or not, I did it using foil wrappers from Valentine’s Day chocolates!) Faux? Why? I’ll tell you why… because I ate a bunch of Valentine’s […]
Salvage a tarnished champagne bucket with a faux patina finish and succulents.
This was such a quick and easy project that I forgot to take photos along the way! I use champagne buckets as planters or floral containers all the time. They’re simple metal containers that I abuse until they look like this… Sometimes I leave them like this for a vintage-y look, but other times I […]
A simple Valentine’s Day mantel.
I wanted to show you what I came up with for a little Valentine’s Day display for my nemesis, the mantel. (I was going to post this yesterday, but I went with some healthy habits instead…) I have the worst time with the proportions of this room, but I’m fairly happy with this fun and simple […]
Texture, color and inspiration at the CHA winter show.
Remember last week when I told you about the Top 5 craft products that I (personally) was all excited about after the CHA (Craft & Hobby Association’s) Winter Trade Show? Well, I had also been feeling a smidge a wee bit kind of fairly uninspired as of late. (Yesterday I shared the AWFUL areas […]
Keepin’ It Real: The ugly scoop on 3 problem areas in my house.
Last week I shared my 5 favorite new products from the CHA winter trade show, and tomorrow I’m going to share some of the images, displays and people who inspired me while I was there… but today, I’m going to keep in real and show you the sad, dreary little spots in my house that […]
I spent my day at Fox Hollow Cottage…
Maybe it’s the post-holiday blues, but at the moment I’m feeling a smidge tired and uninspired. (Or perhaps I need a nap…) You know what I do when I’m feeling a bit uninspired…? I look to other bloggers for some eye-candy and inspiration. Today I went over to Fox Hollow Cottage looking for a little inspiration. I […]
Good lighting + good lamps = rooms you want to spend time in.
Lamps and lighting make all the difference when it come to how a room feels. You could have a million dollar room design, and if it were only illuminated by a 100 watt bulb on a ceiling fixture, it would affect the entire room in a really negative way. We all have rooms in our […]
