Closets...they're boring, right? They don't have to be when you've taken How To Wallpaper 101. Miles Redd changed my mind when I heard him speak at the Design Influencers Conference last Spring. His argument, in a nutshell, imagine yourself as a guest, standing in a foyer. The homeowner says, "May I take your coat?" The closet door opens[...]

I'm a hoarder of all things vintage, and letting go of decor is a very difficult process — legit anxiety-ridden. If you need h[...]
This month I'm hosting the neighborhood moms group for a holiday party, and that means I've gotta get this house party-ready, so I thought, what better time to share my holiday entertaining tips and tricks!

Anyhoo, I was super jazzed to participate. I am the (self-proclaimed) thrifting queen in my own little world. Well, kinda. I'm the flea mark[...]
