No matter what your style is, you probably have something artsy on your walls. Nature prints, florals, mid-mod graphic...whatever your taste, there are tons of options to add some interest to your space!   I love to shop Etsy for amazing {but reasonably-priced} printables. The pr

What's in a name? A lot, if you ask me! Our first names are how we introduce ourselves to others. Last names are how we identify with those closest to us, our family. Nicknames are something even more personal, given to us by friends and family, they are special...just for us.  One mega im

When it comes to home decor and styling, the sky really is the limit! Whether you have expensive taste {like I do} and can't quite swing the price of a piece, or an accessory is just a jumping off point for something bigger and better...let your imagination run wild and make your home deco

Vignette. It might sound like a fancy decorating word, but it's really just a term for a collection of items in a space that all tell a story with your home decor.

Sometimes I have a one.track.mind. Okay, I always do...but that can be a really good thing, I promise! My unwavering focus on certain things is how i get things done. This might be to the annoyance of others, but who am I to stand in the way of progress?   One of my favorite projects that

One thing that has happened on Facebook in the last few years is the emergence of swap pages.

Once upon a time, I dragged a $5 chair up from my basement with the hopes of breathing new life into a corner of my kitchen. I liked the idea of what the chair could be, but it just wasn't quite able to meet my high hopes in it's current color state. 

   A bookshelf, of any kind, seems to be such a great thing in a home; it can offer tons of space for our stuff...books (obvs), knick-knacks, pictures...you name it, a bookshelf can hold it. The reality of this piece of furniture, or built-in, is that it often becomes an eye-sore

Sorry for that title...kinda gross, huh? I'm nerdy like that, though...   Hopefully I still have you attention; I really want everyone to know why it's such a good thing to do some thrifting or second-hand shopping when you're trying to redo a space. I know garage sales and thrift stores a

...on the wall...who has the fairest of all?  While we may not be lucky enough to have magic mirrors {telling us how lovely and young we are}, we all have everyday mirrors...in the bathroom, maybe above a dresser, in the hall for final make-up check.  I mean, we can't c

When you're good at something...don't hide it away!   One of my recent clients is an amazing seamstress...she is especially talented at making quilts. As soon as I saw the beautiful piles of her handiwork stashed around the house, I knew we had to use the quilts in the design of the space.

There are so many things I wish I were good at doing...dancing, golfing, drawing...math-ing. We can't have everything, though, eh? One thing I feel confident in, though, is my ability to decorate and style a room. For years friends and family have asked how I know what will look good in a space or
