Monday morning I woke up to The Boy sending me a CNN report about yet another mass shooting. Key words there…yet another. I try not to get political here. There’s no talk about Trump or Hillary. No North Korea. No hurricane talk. The biggest problems we have at HOH are mixing patterns and too many chairs and not enough rooms. This po[...]
It wasn't until recently that I started shopping thrift stores. The smell at Goodwill kinda skeezed me out, and more often than not, they are full of discarded junk that no one wants. Broke vases, mismatched glasses, holiday decor, old pots and pans, 100s of vases you get from the floral shop, fake Coach purses...shelf after shelf after[...]
Yes, I know I'm long overdue for a Parsian recap. Je suis désolée. Summer and unemployment got the best of me. But, I promise to have a full Paris Flea post or two in the next month or so...where I went, what I bought, and what I wish I would have known. But until then, I hope this bordello inspired boozy beverage from Maison Souquet w[...]
Lately, I've been reflecting back on my younger years. Teenage years as a rebel girl. College years as a snotty know it all sorority, cheerleader girl. In my 20s when I thought I could see my clear path in life. Now I laugh, shake my head and think if I only I could see into the future. Nothing is really what I thought it would be, yet i[...]
Vintage modern home office? Hmmm, if that's not a dichotomy, I'm not sure what is. There may not be such a design style, but that's the look I'm for in my home office. Last year I ditched my old white IKEA cabinets and tabletop for an old vintage pine desk. Kind of a nod to my dining room table and keeping the theme of mixing o[...]
When Sengled Lightbulbs asked if I wanted to try their wireless smart lightbulbs, I was like, ummmm, it's a lightbulb. *shrugs* What's to try, right? Before I agreed, I typed Sengled into google to do a little research and soon found out that these were not your ordinary lightbulbs. Wireless Smart Lightbulbs The Boy i[...]
It's Friday, plus a long weekend!!! Wahoo! Time for a few Beautiful Distractions. We're talking about books to read, a sofa sale, how to style an Insta-home, pranks, Chicks With Plants, and more. I need a 15-minute break. How about you? Let's dig in. Photo by Emilia Schobiri Mark your calendars because Interior Define is holdin[...]
How many of you hit the snooze button? I don’t know about you, but I’m so not a morning person. I wish I was. The Boy hears that first beep and boom, he’s up, showered, has emptied his inbox, and probably had a conference call or two. He has a very rigid morning routine. Yes, we are complete opposites. The old routine wa[...]
And in the blink of an eye, it's mid-August. How on earth is it back to school? I mean, where did summer even go? Since there's no stopping time, we might as well embrace the fact that it's time to shop for all your dorm room essentials. I've rounded up a boatload of cute, stylish items to make college life uniquely yours. But Kyla, I'm[...]
