While working on the bedroom makeover, I thought of a new description for beautiful rugs, floor flair. I declared it was the coolest new adjective ever. What is it you ask? Simply put, glamorous floor accessories that are so rad they might make you cry. Rugs, tile, paint, wood...if it makes you so incredibly happy that you ball like a ba[...]
Hi you guys! Happy Monday! Hope you all had one heck of an awesome weekend. I'm just popping in really quick to let you know that I'm visiting Live Laugh Rowe today, sharing my DIY Yarn Tapestry.

Mother’s Day can sneak up on you. And nothing is worse than running out of time and not knowing what to buy.

Urban Outfitters has some great home decor,[...]

Pillow guru of style extraordinaire, Emily Henderson. While putting this post together, I started looking around the house for all the pillows that I've purchased since[...]

Well, that's a really good question. Not really. Well, not now anyway, but I will...as soon as I finish this bedroom makeover. We mo[...]
Dressing for spring in Chicago can be tricky. The mornings can be quite chilly while the afternoons are comfortable. And then you can get days like Monday where we had blizzard-like conditions; while today is pushing 60° and sunny. It's madness. You never know if the snow is gone for good until it hits 90° and even then, it can be a cr[...]

All the reviews I read had compared it to Gone Girl, so I was thrilled to be reading this month's book picked by Ashley from Bigger Than The Three Of Us and Thalita from The Learner Observer, and my co-[...]
