So we did another set of printables for you guys. If you missed last month's, click here for all my free printables. They are in the 5 X 7 format (I'm still working on different sizing options), but I think you guys SHOULD be able to shrink AND enlarge if you print them with a 3rd party printer, I gave you a pretty high resolution. So my[...]
So today, I have been sitting here staring at a blank screen, wondering what in the heck I'm going to write about. I had absolutely no clue until I started to weed my way through all the bucket challenges and first day of school pictures on Facebook—procrastination at its best. Ya, no, you will not see me dumping ice-cold water on my h[...]
Last Saturday I was lucky enough to attend the Renegade Craft Fair in Chicago with my little buddy Laura from Avery Street Design. Minus a minor diversion by the navigation lady who lives in the speakers of my car and a parking delay (not to mention almost getting crushed by a white van...that might or might not have been[...]
Check out my recent best coffee table books for the most up to date list. If you've been reading House of Hipsters, you know I love to style with a stack of books (usually topped with a small object or vase). As of late, I've been styling the house like a madwoman, and I'm running low on reading material. Good heavens, what's a girl to d[...]
Well, you guys have made my heart go pitter-patter. Writing about my sister's death was not easy for me, and I sat there for a long time before I pressed publish. Thank you for your kindness. My inbox has been overflowing with sweet messages. It means the world to me that you read my story. Just bringing her top of mind makes me smile. I[...]
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[...]
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[...]
