I get a lot of questions about the arched cabinets flanking my fireplace in the living room, and I understand why. These display cabinets are a classic, and the glass doors are perfect for showing off my vintage decor. The bottom drawers have ample space for children's toys, throw blankets, board games, you name it. Gotta love it when fu[...]
I don't know about you, but it has already been a week, and it's only Tuesday. The kids are finally back in school, and summer is dunzo, although someone needs to tell Mother Nature because last week was hotter than the surface of the sun here in Chicago.

After the kids went night-night, I perused Facebook Marketplace, hunting for a vintage pine wood table and 80s m[...]
Last weekend I posted the 80s brick fireplace makeover before and after on social media, and I realized I never properly shared the process on the blog. Shame on me. Because this was a fireplace, there was no DIYing this renovation. We needed professional help. My neighbor shared the name of a mantel company with me — Ma[...]
