A few weeks back, JCPenney challenged me to create a tablescape for Easter that was not overly bunny-themed. I shared it on Instagram and people went bananas for the bunny napkin folding tutorial. Don't worry, I uploaded the full video to my YouTube channel and embedded it below in this post. By using my everyday dinnerware and jazzing it[...]
Remember back in the day when I informed you that Walmart's home decor is lit? Well, I'm here to tell you, it's still as strong as ever. I decided to style out my dining room with citrus theme summer table decor from Walmart Home and invite a couple of friends over for cocktails and light bites. Let's take a closer look, shall we?

In case you missed the news on Instagram or TikTok, I finally reupholstered my dining chairs. Yup, you heard that right, the blushing beauties are no longer pink. Today the vintage brass cantilever chairs by Pierre Cardin are now a mossy green, and I couldn't be more pleased. Ultrasuede reached out asking if I'd like to work with them and[...]
This Covid Coop Up has mind dreaming of fun new spaces. The other day I found myself wandering from room to room, contemplating, "Do I like you? Could you be better? How can I change you?"

Walmart, is that you? Talk about a design double take. It may sound snobbish, but I normally make this face when I think Walmart. And I[...]
When we bought the new house, the dining room was the first space I started decorating. In fact, the Girl in a Chemise Picasso painting (BTDubs...so not real...yes, I've been asked...I ain't that bougie) was the first piece of home decor we brought into the house on closing day, and she might just be the only thing that's never been moved[...]
It's no secret that retro cocktail recipes are all the rage. So when shopping vintage shops, one thing I always have my eye out for is vintage barware. Usually, it can be picked it up at a fair price, and of course, it will elevate your hostess status to an eleven. So let's time-travel and take your kitchen liquor cabinet to a speakeasy-s[...]
If you've been watching my Snapchat ( @houseofhipsters ) or paying attention to my Instagram, you've seen quite a few sneak peeks of the new house...especially the dining room.
