Sometimes, I like to play if I had a million dollars, I might makeover my living room. Late at night, I start scrolling through Pinterest and get lost for hours. The other day, a funky green tufted sofa caught my eye, and it got me thinking. That beauty would look mighty fine combo'd up with a pretty pink somethin' somethin'. About 3 hou[...]
It's no secret that retro cocktail recipes are all the rage. So when shopping vintage shops, one thing I always have my eye out for is vintage barware. Usually, it can be picked up at a fair price, and of course, it will elevate your hostess status to an eleven. So let's time-travel and take your kitchen liquor cabinet to a speakeasy-sty[...]
When we first moved into the new house, my phone was slow. My iPad was slow. My laptop...you guessed it, slow. The Boy was at his wit's end with 3 different WiFi networks in the house, plus multiple repeaters. If you were upstairs, you got dropped from the stronger network. Sometimes you'd be on the slowest network, and no matter how man[...]
Since I started this blog, I've met some incredibly talented people. Some artists, others collectors, some makers...all are pretty darn talented. Sometimes they're nice enough to let me get up close and personal and share their story. Today I'm featuring Kim Gunter, vintage rug collector extraordinaire, and the brains behind Woven Abode.[...]
Holy smokes! When I wrote that post about losing my job yesterday, I didn't realize it would resonate with so many readers. I just wanted to pop in really quick to say thank you. Thank you for taking the time to read the post. Thank you for all the emails of encouragement. Thank you for sharing your stories with me. Thank you, just thank[...]
I write this post not to ask for pity or hugs or sympathy, but rather to be authentic. For some weird reason, I like to make the good, bad, and ugly days of my life public. Social media is a fickle beast. More often than not we scroll through Facebook only to see our "friends" on vacation in Maui or how amazing their kids are. Everything[...]
If you've been around these parts, you know I'm a sucker for estate sales. That link leads to a how-to-guide explaining all the ins and outs in case you missed it. Where to find estate sales, what to expect, how to pay, what to bring, etc... But, what do you do when there are no estate sales in your area? Or maybe you work every weekend.[...]
How are we possibly halfway through July, and did we somehow skip Spring? Summer just needs to slow down a bit. Or maybe it’s life in general that needs to slow down. It’s probably both. Whichever the case, I’m trying to get better at writing down a monthly to-do list. Things I’d love to try and fit into my schedule by the end of[...]
I spend a lot of time in front of the computer...and I mean a lot. Half of the week, I'm in the city for work. The other half, I'm sitting in my work from home office. Don't be giggling and thinking, "You mean you're sitting on your couch eatin' bonbons with the phone in your hand, right." Ummmm, wrong. Couldn't be further from the truth[...]
