The Boy has been traveling his toosh off, and I'm so behind. However, I did manage to pull some distractions together for you. These are just a few things I've been eyeing or reading while he's been gone. To all you single parents out there, I bow to you. Not sure how you do this day in and day out and stay sane. Someone asked me[...]
Meet the tiniest room in my house that has been my biggest design challenge to date. An update on our modern bathroom makeover has been long overdue. Like waaaaaaay long overdue. Here's a quick walk down memory lane. Remember when the basement flooded, and we decided since we were forced to renovate, why not gut the bathroom? Well, every[...]
As of late, I've been having a love affair with the color black. I've never had copious amounts of bold hues in my home, but you find pops of pink, green and every shade of blue if you have a look around. After creating Potty Paradise, my love for the dramatic, moody effect the color black has on a space made my heart grow[...]
After moving to the new house last summer, The Boy and I learned we lived in a neighborhood very different from the last. The old house was in a subdivision of cookie-cutter homes with manicured yards, and no one spoke to each other. I couldn't tell you what the woman across the street from me looked like, nor did I know her name. (I liv[...]
The only bad thing about Paris, is leaving Paris...oh and planning to shop your heart out the day before you leave and it happens to be May 1 (Europe's Labor Day). Even the cafés were closed! I cried salty tears in my escargot. Presently, my only comfort is this playlist from Maison Souquet. If you watched my Stories on Instagram[...]
I fell in love with a blue chair last Fall. The Savoy Flea posted it to her Instagram, and the velvet goodness caught my eye...my heart skipped a beat. A couple of months later, I went to the shop. The entire drive into the city, I wondered if the pretty blue peacock chair had sold...I rang the bell, walked in, and finally saw her in per[...]
Since we moved in, I've kinda wanted to break up with the artwork in the kitchen. A beach scene I bought 5 years ago that hung above the mantle in the old house. I loved it when I bought it, but now, well, I think it's just time for a change. When we moved, I dismissed my old fling and haphazardly placed it in the kitchen...a tropical Ha[...]
Mercury Retrograde has made me want to Amazon Prime a helmet to my front door, sage my home, and hang healing crystals all around my body. As soon as my accountant started yelling at me about my taxes last Tuesday and The Boy's travel plans got majorly snafooed, I knew something had to be afoot. Do you believe in Mercury Retrograde? Do y[...]
Have you ever attended an estate sale? I was surprised to learn many have not. Yes, walking into a complete stranger's home can be intimidating, but estate sales are where you'll find the best vintage decor for the best prices. Because not everyone is versed in this art of secondhand shopping, I decided to write a complete guide on how t[...]
