It's been a few weeks since my trip to High Point, and I'm still designing and redesigning my home over and over and over again in my head. If you missed Day 1 of the Design Bloggers Tour, you can catch up using that link. In a nutshell, the biggest interior design trend was texture...it was everywhere, and you'll see even more of it in t[...]
I'm not sure if there's anything that could have prepared me for the experience of High Point Market. Having been to a trade show or two in the past I figured I'd see lots of fancy-looking people wearing lanyards and a very large open space filled with booths — WRONG! High Point is basically a downtown area plus 2 massive buildings with[...]
2018 is going to be the year wallpaper shines. I can't tell you how many estate sales I attended where it was the star. Time capsule homes with wallpaper in the bathroom, master bedroom, living room, and even on the ceiling. I'd snap a picture, post it to Instagram Stories and the response was bonkers. From then to now, one thing's for su[...]
It wasn't until recently that I started shopping thrift stores. The smell at Goodwill kinda skeezed me out, and more often than not, they are full of discarded junk that no one wants. Broke vases, mismatched glasses, holiday decor, old pots and pans, 100s of vases you get from the floral shop, fake Coach purses...shelf after shelf after s[...]
Happy Thursday! Erica Reitman, The Design Ninja Extraordinaire, is stopping over today to talk about how to start a collection. I don't know about you, but I've got a ton...trophies, indigo, navy books, vintage barware...errrrmmmm *cough* chairs...ya let's not go there. But sometimes it all goes in a box, and I never know what to do with[...]
Happy Wednesday! A couple of weeks ago Erica was snapping her "new" vintage interior design magazines, and I was drooling like a madwoman. Lucite, rattan, and glam, oh my! She clued me in on the fact that we are all obsessed over '70s design trends, and we didn't even know it. ERMERGERD!!!!! Seriously, she's so right! Don't believe me, re[...]
To shake things up, my girl Erica Reitman is going to be a contributor, and this week she is talking small space design rules! When I asked her, I totes expected an, "Umm, no, I don't think so sweetie." I mean, she writes for Elle Decor, HGTV, and Domino. So imagine my surprise when she said, "Heck yeah! Sounds like fun!" Can you say jaw[...]
Decorating with vintage home decor really shows off your personality...not to mention it can be easy on the wallet. But there's a fine line between staying in the now and time-warping back to The Brady Bunch. So how do you find that trending boho slash mid-century modern look and not have Marsha screaming, "Oh! My nose!" Easy, lea[...]
If you've been watching my Instagram, you've probably seen a couple of sneak peeks of the guest bedroom makeover. I moved towards a look that was out of my comfort zone. Right before teaming up with Decorist, I noticed I was obsessing over white and neutral spaces. Pinning them like I was on fire. Decorist hooked me up with Ashley Red[...]
