Well, Wednesday's post seemed to have rattled some cages over the Pinterest white dots and questioned whether or not Pinterest pins are copyright infringement because, late that night, I received an email from Silvia Oviedo, the Head of Creator and International Growth at Pinterest. I'd like to share that email with my response here.[...]
OPEN LETTER TO PINTEREST — Dear Pinterest, as one of your biggest fans, I've gotta tell you I'm having some Pinterest problems. Yes, your platform is a major source of inspiration, and you drive traffic to my website, but can you do me a huge favor? Please stop auto-tagging products with those little white dots for brand partners on my[...]
Before we get into this roundup of modern sofas, I'd like to ask a question. Do you call it a sofa or a couch? Or maybe if you're from Wisconsin, you call it a davenport? Whatever you call it, I'll bet you have one in your living room. And if you're on a quest for a beautiful new sofa like me, you've come to the right spot because I've r[...]

If you start liking videos created by dermatologists, you're put into a skincare bucket. If you start liking home decor content, you're put into the interior d[...]

Since publishing the living room makeover last week, I have been redesigning the redesign and wanted to share it here to get your thoughts. Modern Velvet Blue Sofa[...]

For whatever reason, my tutorial on how to install a ceiling medallion went viral on Pinterest. With it trending hard, I'm being bombarded with questions like where do I buy ceiling medallions and what are your favorite ones - particularly the one in my bedroom (no longer available.) So, I thought ceiling medallions d[...]
