If you haven’t heard or are new to my blog, this past November we got some very exciting news that we have a baby on the way! I am beyond words, and can’t wait to meet this new little person that is sure to change our lives. It’s our first child, but I’ve been thinking about the nursery since even before… 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 →
I very well may be the last guest participant to cross the finish line, but the real importance is that it’s finished! I’ve probably spent a lot of the time I should have been working instead checking out everyone’s ORC reveals.. I am easily side tracked. But WOW, I am so impressed. There’s some serious talent out there and some of the… 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 →
For the past few years I’ve seen this trend of layering different rugs on the rise. It’s a great look for those who love an eclectic feel, and sometimes can be a great alternative to paying for a huge – and therefore very expensive – rug. An easy way of testing the water with this trend is to highlight a smaller rug… 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 →
I’m not sure if I’m more embarrassed or proud of the fact that about 90% of our furniture is from Craigslist. Actually, that’s a lie – who am I kidding. Between the thrill of the hunt, finding the perfect piece, and getting it at a great price, I’m more than satisfied with my unique previously owned finds. I am actually… Read more →
I’ve had quite a long time to think about what I’d like to see in a new kitchen. Because of that duration, I’ve contemplated a bazillion and seven changes, but I’m happy to say that I’ve stuck with the same general menagerie of ideas for the majority of the time. (Go me!) We’ve been designing our kitchen based on the… Read more →
