If you watched my Stories on Instagram over the last few days, you already know I was in LA for the Design Influencer's Conference. It was a whirlwind of a trip, but I got to meet some incredible people, visit some amazing spaces, and be introduced to some new (to me) brands. So today, I thought I'd share some LA weekend highlights.[...]
Confession, ever since I visited Cambria, I've been dreaming of a kitchen makeover. Not that there's really anything wrong with mine, but...Pinterest, am I right? Some gals want diamonds, others tropical beach vacations...me...I long for a beautiful stone waterfall kitchen island, new countertops, a killer backsplash, and cabin[...]
If you've ever lost your job, then you know it's a flat-out traumatic experience. This was my third... no fourth time in the world of layoffs. And no, it's not because I am a sh*tty employee.

2018 is going to be the year wallpaper shines. I can't tell you how many estate sales I attended where it was the star. Time capsule homes with wallpaper in the bathroom, master bedroom, living room, and even on the ceiling. I'd snap a picture, post it to Instagram Stories and the response was bonkers.

Polar vortex. Bomb cyclone. Snow in Florida. Here in Chicago, we have had a “feels like” temperature of -15° since Christmas. I don’t know about you, but I’m staying inside…under a few blankies…until this nonsense goes away. For entertainment, we’ve gone bowling, played Eucher, Yahzee, and Tri-Onomos, and watched a lot of[...]
Confession — there's a wall in my home you never see. The dreaded tv wall. A big black box eyesore that every home decor enthusiast tries to hide. Regular folks say, just deal with it.
