In my non-preggers life, wine is a very important part of it. I mean what’s better, really? We used to have a set of pottery barn modular wine bars here in the dining room (I got them off Craigslist a couple years ago), but they were too short, feeling tired, and I wanted to clean the space up. Without much… Read more →
I love the look of copper and how it brings in a metallic element while still remaining casual. via via via There are countless copper DIYs out there, but I knew I wanted to start with a floor lamp. No bending, just a few parts, and minimal cutting required! For this project, I was inspired by this West Elm lamp.… Read more →
I don’t know about you, but this year is off to a crazy busy start (which I couldn’t be happier about!) It’s officially my last year in my twenties and it will be jam-packed. The last week of 2015 we closed on our first rehab project we’ll be working on together, and demo is currently underway. It’s a much bigger… Read more →
My love for lucite has grown exponentially over the past few years, and I just love the look of lucite hardware, but not the price. This example below is gorgeous, but not in my budget! After seeing Grace’s DIY Lucite Curtain Rods and Kitchen Hardware tutorials, I was ready to try something similar on my own. Since so many pieces in our… Read more →
Hello. It’s me. I’ve thought about this room for a long long time. Well, the last two weeks at least. Aside from having this freaking Adele song cemented in my brain, (and now you do too, sorryyy), I’ve been making some progress with the One Room Challenge but have yet to write about it until now. It’s probably… Read more →
Week 2 of the One Room Challenge. Where did the week go, again? I shared my vague plans last Sunday and here we are again at the weekend. For the record, I have always done my best work under pressure, so I’m not too worried yet. The good news is I did buy some things, sold some things ($ to actually… Read more →
I’m really excited to take part in the famous blog-world showcase that is the One Room Challenge for my very first time! We’ve lived in our little cape for 5 and a half years, and this was the perfect excuse to refresh our master bedroom. When we bought the house, I went to Home Depot and in one fell swoop picked… Read more →
Since our attic renovation cost a pretty penny, any finishes were extremely budget conscious. With 9 windows to cover (eek) and hardly any furniture, I had to improvise. I had remembered Jenny from Little Green Notebook blogged about scoring some dirt cheap roman shades from Lowes, so I headed there to see if (over a month later) anything was left. Cut… Read more →
That is not a typo (I know there are people rolling their eyes). Rather, I’m referring to a beauuutiful navy blue color called Hale Navy by Benjamin Moore. It has made its way onto many a pin on my Pinterest boards, not to mention all over the internet, and for good reason. Hale Navy HC-154 Hale Navy is a… Read more →
Happy Saturday! Weekends should be spent as leisurely as possible as often as possible, if you ask me. I’m shooting for a quick but useful post every Saturday, hopefully in time for your morning coffee. This first weekend, though, it’s closer to cocktail hour. Totally acceptable in my book. Ring clips are a super easy and more casual way to hang… Read more →
