So I've known for a long time that I was going to write this post. In fact, I've tried to write it more than once and it ends up sitting in my drafts folder, and sooner or later it gets deleted or lost in the shuffle. Not because it is not important, but rather I've been trying to figure out how to share my story with you. After you read[...]
After my dear friend Laura and I restyled a desk, we decided to do it again, but this time Summer from Simple Stylings joined in the fun! A while back, Laura wrote a post about *needing* to own a lake house because she had too many mugs…I said I’d move in as well since I had too many chairs (I like to save them). Anyhoo, Laura wa[...]
When we embarked on the adventure of refinishing the basement, I was pregnant with little Maus. Since my home office was soon to become her nursery, I knew I had to move downstairs...which meant downsizing a bit. Being a graphic designer and a hoarder collector of vintage loveliness, I needed a lot of storage space, but I also wanted a p[...]
Sometimes people walk through my home and say, "OMG, where on earth do you find all this stuff?", and I never really seem to have a good answer. My response is usually, "All over I guess, you just have to have patience to find unique items." Recently a friend of mine was explaining to me her way of designing a room. She goes to one st[...]
So, I've decided to start a series called, "How I Make Emily Henderson Cry". If that name is completely irrelevant to you, just know she is my girl crush an HGTV star who I idolize. If you read my to-do list, you know that there are many areas in my home that aren't perfect. Yes, there are nooks of perfection, but there are also&nbs[...]
Hello, darlings! Do you ever find the perfect jeans or lipstick and just want to tell the world about it? Or did you ever buy a shirt and think, “well, that was disappointing,” and two days later, your co-worker was like, “oh, I so could have told you that shirt sucked.” Well, I’ve tried it out, so you don’t have to! Kinda li[...]
It’s time to go back to school, so we found some hip, affordable, and stylish items to brighten up any dull dorm room! Create a space that is unique to you, and save your cash for books (or beer). These products are no longer available. fancy pens: you will take better notes when you know you are better than unicorns (okay, I[...]
After taking a good look around the house, I've noticed that a few spots could really benefit from some green leafy foliage...blerg, my nemesis...in the past, I have sent many a plant to an early grave. Plants hate me. I swear, I walk past one and can hear it begging for its life. But there are so many inspiring home decor photos on Pint[...]
The present state of the mantel styling makes Emily Henderson cry...seriously, it does. It needed a makeover...badly. One of the best features in a home might just be the fireplace, and mine was embarrassing. To say the least, it was not the fireplace of my dreams. In fact, a large part of me wanted to take a sledgehammer to it. But rath[...]
