It’s December and there’s 1 week till Christmas? I’m not sure how all of that happened but lucky for me I LOVE the holidays and everything that comes with it (minus the extra pound or two). The decorations, music, and overall feeling makes me mushy every year, and my husband thinks it’s hilarious. I can’t help it, I have too… 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 →
Last month Real Simple magazine posted a 4 page article listing out their favorite resources for home decor categorized by type. Really, it’s super helpful and worth the price of the issue just in this article! I thought that to share the love, I’d list out the whole article, point out my personal tried and true favorites, plus add in… 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 →
If it weren’t for Craigslist, our house would either be empty or I’d be really broke from having to pay retail prices. I am a Craigslist junkie and am pretty proud of just about every deal I’ve bought or sold. I will admit, it does take some practice to get the hang of how to search and scan things quickly, but… Read more →
