If you've been watching my Pinterest boards, you might have recently noticed a few pinning sprees with one theme — credenzas. I have 2 in my home, both with TVs hung above them. Nose crinkle, I know. But in my home (and most people's homes), TVs are a necessity, and a credenza below a TV just looks better. For the last few months I've[...]
Oh sweet Emily, you recently wrote about the kind of disaster that is your family room. And I gotta tell ya, I really needed to read this. Yes, you might have been sitting on the most perfect vintage blue Persian rug that you bought for $12 that alludes me and wearing the most perfect plaid shirt with the most perfect brown boots no[...]
Ever since I started writing this blog I knew I wanted to create style and fashion posts. But for me, photographing myself is not the easiest thing to do. (Unless you're Heather Wyancko she makes it look like a piece-a-cake!) After returning from Alt Summit, I knew I need to make this style thing happen, so I searched and searc[...]
I’m starting to shop for the master bedroom makeover, and I have sooooo many home decor wants it’s ridiculous. I’m also learning (not really, this has been clear for quite some time) that I have shopping ADD. I tell myself to only search bedroom decor and suddenly I’m shopping for shoes.

My ears get bored very quickly, so I've been on the hunt for new music as of late. It also probably doesn't help my cause when I find a song I like, it goes into heavy rotation for a month or two of commuting...over and over and over again. It's the one major issue I have with iPod playlists. Convenient yes, but one can only listen to a c[...]
Do you guys ever get all gung-ho about a home decor project, get frustrated, have a freak-out session, and then procrastinate? Erm, please say yes. Please tell me I'm not the only one with my head in the sand. See, a long time ago, I posted a picture of the state of my bedroom. It was one of those before shots that I said may never have[...]
Happy almost Valentine's Day lovers!!! Seriously, how did THAT happen? This is always one of those hallmark holidays that sneaks up on me. It's like I sail through Thanksgiving thinking I'm on top of my game and get clobbered by Christmas. When I was a kid V-Day was a favorite of mine. I loved exchanging those tiny cards with Bugs Bunny[...]
I don't know about you, but I'm not one of those people who redecorate their home for every season. I mean, I barely got my tree up last Christmas. Gasp! I know! Is a blogger not overly prepared for the holidays? Blasphemy! But storing holiday decor for months and hauling it out once a year...I don't have the time or space for it all. I[...]
Here at House Of Hipsters, I like to change it up and run this fun little post every few months. Today I’ve decided to name it “Getting To Know You, Getting To Know Me”. Mainly because I have absolutely no idea what I named it last time. It’s been WAY too long and it applies to everyone. My readers from 2 years ago, brand new read[...]
