When we first moved into the new house, my phone was slow. My iPad was slow. My laptop...you guessed it, slow. The Boy was at his wit's end with 3 different WiFi networks in the house, plus multiple repeaters. If you were upstairs, you got dropped from the stronger network. Sometimes you'd be on the slowest network, and no matter how man[...]
I spend a lot of time in front of the computer...and I mean a lot. Half of the week, I'm in the city for work. The other half, I'm sitting in my work from home office. Don't be giggling and thinking, "You mean you're sitting on your couch eatin' bonbons with the phone in your hand, right." Ummmm, wrong. Couldn't be further from the truth[...]
Times up! Sound the alarm, the One Room Challenge final reveal deadline bell is ringing. Hands up. Put the decor down. Well kinda. It's the night before this post goes live, and I'm typing as fast as my little fingers can hit keys. I take that back, it's after midnight. But for all intents and purposes, this room is dunzo! Like many o[...]
It's Week 5 of the One Room Challenge, and right now, I feel like my entire life revolves around this project. Nothing else matters. I'm okay with being seven blog posts behind and staying up until midnight. It's crunch time, and next week is the final reveal. If you're new here and wondering what on Earth is this One Room Challenge[...]
Patience is not a virtue of mine. Albeit convenient, online shopping lacks immediate gratification. And when you're in a time crunch like the One Room Challenge where you pick one room to transform from hot mess to hallelujah and only have 6 weeks to do so, well, waiting a week for deliveries was probably not my smartest move. I'm now th[...]
Confidence is building with the home office design project as I push through Week 3 of the One Room Challenge. In case you don't remember, last week, I was styling the window sill behind the vintage Chesterfield and finishing the build on my new workspace. A last-minute decision was made, throwing me off my game plan, and I chose not to[...]
Phew! Man, the past week has flown by. Radio silence has ensued (sorry about that...it's not you, it's me), but I swear I'm not sitting on the sofa eating bon-bons watching Days Of Our Lives. (Is that show even on anymore? In college was addicted to it.) Anyhoo, I've been moving around furniture, styling vignettes, giving the UPS man hug[...]
Late last Spring I gave both my primary bedroom and guest room a major makeover. I was on design project overload, and oddly, it seemed like every other blogger on the planet was doing the same. What a strange coincidence. Everyone I knew was suddenly tearing their homes apart and documenting the process. Why are you guys stealing my thu[...]
With both bedroom makeovers wrapping up, I have decided to keep being crazy with the old ball rolling on the home makeovers. This time I'm looking at you my home office. It's a hot mess of books, papers, magazines, vintage treasures, vases, lamps, random pretties I like to Instagram and then forget to put away, and possibl[...]
