In case you missed the news on Instagram or TikTok, I finally reupholstered my dining chairs. Yup, you heard that right, the blushing beauties are no longer pink. Today the vintage brass cantilever chairs by Pierre Cardin are now a mossy green, and I couldn't be more pleased. Ultrasuede reached out asking if I'd like to work with them an[...]
Last weekend we worked our buns off cleaning out the last few items from the vintage shop in Barrington, IL. We peeled the HOH decals off the window, and turned off the lights for the last time. Many of you have asked whether I'm happy or sad. A little bit of both I guess. Relieved I'm not working with the public during a pandemic and no[...]
Right now, I'm picturing Linda...organizer of the One Room Challenge...standing outside my room with a whistle yelling, "Time's up! Drop what you're doing and step away from the room." Today marks the end of an 8 week-long journey in home decor. I've given my work from home office a complete redesign and transformed an old storage closet[...]
Next week is the final reveal of the One Room Challenge, and I'm so not ready. On the surface, it may look like I'm in the home stretch, but there's much more that needs to be completed. Oh, and I keep forgetting stores aren't open and stocked like normal. Even a trip to Home Depot must be planned out like a day-long excursion. Let's do[...]
Welcome to the crunch time portion of the One Room Challenge. Thus far, I've been feeling pretty confident, but that doesn't mean Imma let my foot off the gas pedal. There are still so many tiny details to wrap up, but first, let's review what's completed, shall we? The wallpaper was installed a couple of weeks ago by a wizard[...]
Oooooph, whoever is challenging 2020 needs to stop. It's been a rough ride, so I'm going to begin this Beautiful Distractions with a video of tiny goats visiting river otters. Not sure about you, but I need more of this in my life right now. Feel free to watch it a couple of times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJggPRQtsAA Now[...]
Being stuck inside has me gazing at shelves and coffee tables, asking, "what can I do to make this a little more special?" The weather is changing and I want to freshen up little vignettes that now feel a bit stale...but we're also watching our pocketbooks here at HOH. So, I dug into the interwebs and found a whole lotta home decor favor[...]
Oh boy, the halfway point is where the One Room Challenge can get sketchy. You think, damn son, I'm rockin' this ORC! All I have to do is zhush it up, right? Wrong! This is when time starts to slip outta your hands because you get cocky. Case in point, instead of painting the French doors last weekend, I decided to sit in the driveway an[...]
We're screamin' into Week 3 of the One Room Challenge and have reached the point in construction where every room is covered in dust, and the house is a disaster. But that's where the magic happens, am I right? At least, that is what I'm telling myself. If you've been watching my Stories on Instagram, you know the tile is installed, and[...]
