One question I'm asked over and over again is, where do you find your fantastic art? Lots of places, I guess, and if it speaks to me, I buy it. But when you know where to buy it, it's easy to find affordable original art for the home. In today's post, I'm sharing all my tips and tricks on finding killer artwork, from vintage portraits to[...]
Bits and bobs from High Point Market are still swimming around in my head. The chairs, the lamps, the everything...gimme all the pretty things. So I thought, why not pretend? Let's spend a fake million dollars and play imaginary decorator. Can I just have one room dedicated...or better yet, I have a million dollars, so[...]
I don't know about you, but when I scroll through Instagram, I sometimes think to myself, ugh, my house is so gross...these rooms are so beautiful with their fanciness...why can't my house look more like this?

High Point is basically a downtown area plus 2 massive buildings wit[...]
When we bought the new house, the dining room was the first space I started decorating. In fact, the Girl in a Chemise Picasso painting (BTDubs...so not real...yes, I've been asked...I ain't that bougie) was the first piece of home decor we brought into the house on closing day, and she might just be the only thing that's never been move[...]
Have you attended High Point Market? It's the largest furniture trade show in the world. It's basically like Fashion Week for furniture...and this year I'm going! All the latest furniture launches (I mean you should see the Rumba Crescent Sofa from Adriana Hoyos...srsly, woah! I can't wait to sit my bum in that sucka), the newest interio[...]
I'm saying goodbye to the vintage leather couch and hello to comfortable modern sofas for the living room. Apparently, we live like savages and have completely ruined that old couch. A living room makeover is in order because there are now 2 gigantic holes in the center cushion where my daughter likes to dig in her Barbie heels, it's unco[...]
