It’s been ages since I’ve posted so I figured I should prepare something before WordPress took away my privileges. Honestly, I don’t know how bloggers with kids at home or a job outside the home (or BOTH) find time to blog. Seriously, this stuff takes TIME! I really appreciate those that work to send daily [...]

Grandma saves the day!
Posted in Bedroom, Doily Art, Home Decor on February 23, 2012 | 9 Comments »
Since the fall I’ve gradually been redoing the master. Before it was a bit dark with cappuccino colored walls and stained wood furniture. I am so over stained wood furniture. I have everything finished but the window treatments so I won’t do a complete reveal yet. But I’ll give you a peek at my latest [...]
Weekend update.

Last weekend’s project? Find a table for the corner of my bedroom. It needed to be smallish. And just the right height for a cup of coffee. A creamy white finish. Offset by my new favorite wall color of all time, Farrow and Ball’s light blue. Thumbing through catalogs, searching Pinterest and zillions of design [...]
Hiding in plain sight.

Carrie Bradshaw was in my bed!
Posted in Home Decor on August 31, 2011 | 6 Comments »
You know how when you can’t sleep you switch on the old Sex and the City reruns? No matter how many dozens of times you’ve seen them, nothing works better as a sleeping aid. Last night was a particularly fitful night. Lay down, fall asleep instantly for FIVE minutes, then stay awake until 3 AM. [...]
Super easy Company C pillow hack!
Posted in Home Decor, Pillow, Sewing, Tutorials on August 20, 2011 | 11 Comments »
Don’t you just love this pillow? They’re bright and colorful mums that remind you summer’s just a few weeks from ending and soon the dark and cloudy days of autumn will be upon you, then behind that, cursed winter and you’ll be wishing you had bought that place in the South of France (as if) [...]
Restoration Hardware and Depression
Posted in Home Decor on April 16, 2011 | 13 Comments »
Taking a cue from Cara at casa CARA, I’ve decided today I will blog with total and utter honesty. I mean, sure, “it’s all good” blog posts are uplifting and heartening and all that. But really, thoughtfully speaking with candor can bring the ultimate sense of freedom. Plus, nobody is paying me to write this [...]
Looking for art in all the wrong places.
Posted in Home Decor, Silk Picture Mat, Tutorials on March 27, 2011 | 6 Comments »
Because I have so few interior walls in my home’s open floor plan, it practically kills me to have a bare spot on the wall that isn’t filled with art. I use the term “art” loosely because I’m pretty sure there’s nothing hanging on any of the walls that cost much more than $50. Because [...]
Ikea Rast hack, textile style!
Posted in Home Decor on March 20, 2011 | 10 Comments »
With all the Ikea Rast hacks showing up on the internet lately, I just had to give it a try. They’re more like the size of an end table than a chest of drawers, but just the right size for an empty alcove in the hall. At only $29.99 think of the possibilities with this [...]
Bedded Bliss.
Posted in Home Decor, Window Treatments on March 14, 2011 | 16 Comments »
Okay, I’m back. I hope I haven’t raised your expectations too much. It means a lot to me to have this little room finished because I absolutely go crazy when the place is in disarray and this room’s been a mess for a couple of months now. So…here’s how it looked after the hard-wood flooring [...]
