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 r[...]
Oh Emily. I'm so sorry. I do realize you are completely distraught with some people's irreverent taste in ghastly sofas, but I know you're really only masking your sadness because you peeked at my front room. Charlie Hendo has been gently wiping the tears streaming down your face and cooing oh so sweetly, "Don't cry momma." But tha[...]
Up until last summer, I steered away from owning a houseplant. It had nothing to do with not liking plants, I guess I just tend to kill them faster than most humans on the planet. and should really stick to faux plants. In general, I think I'm a bit intimidated. I owned a jade tree in junior high, and it thrived, but everything else seem[...]
OK you guys! I've picked a new book for our book club. I hope you all have read #GIRLBOSS, but if you haven't no big deal. Like I said before, this is a no pressure, no obligation read as fast or slow as you wish kinda club. I chose Yes Please by Amy Poehler because it was recommended to me by a fellow House Of Hipsters reader whom I'v[...]
Over my break, I kinda stepped back from the old bloggety blog and took one of the views from 40,000 feet. Yikes, I sound so corporate. But I did, and something very noticeable stood out to me. House Of Hipsters took a weird turn from home decor to being more DIY-driven. Wait, what??? How did that happen? Don't get me wrong, I love the D[...]
Hey, hey you guys! Have you missed me? I just wanted to pop in really quick from vacation to let you know about this amazing signature cocktail for New Year's Eve! Cocktail parties are super fun, but to make it a bit fancier, I like to have a little sumthin' sumthin' special up my sleeve. Something my guests will remember. With New Year'[...]
