When Sengled Lightbulbs asked if I wanted to try their wireless smart lightbulbs, I was like, ummmm, it's a lightbulb. *shrugs* What's to try, right? Before I agreed, I typed Sengled into google to do a little research and soon found out that these were not your ordinary lightbulbs. Wireless Smart Lightbulbs The Boy is all about c[...]
Sometimes I like to play if I had a million dollars, I might makeover my living room. Late at night, I start scrolling through Pinterest and get lost for hours. The other day, a funky green tufted sofa caught my eye, and it got me thinking. That beauty would look mighty fine combo'd up with a pretty pink somethin' somethin'. About 3 hour[...]
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 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-sty[...]
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.

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[...]
Meet the tiniest room in my house that has been my biggest design challenge to date. An update on our modern bathroom makeover has been long overdue. Like waaaaaaay long overdue. Here's a quick walk down memory lane. Remember when the basement flooded, and we decided since we were forced to renovate, why not gut the bathroom? Well, every[...]
After moving to the new house last summer, The Boy and I learned we lived in a neighborhood very different from the last. The old house was in a subdivision of cookie-cutter homes with manicured yards, and no one spoke to each other. I couldn't tell you what the woman across the street from me looked like, nor did I know her name. (I liv[...]
I fell in love with a blue chair last Fall. The Savoy Flea posted it to her Instagram, and the velvet goodness caught my eye...my heart skipped a beat. A couple of months later, I went to the shop. The entire drive into the city, I wondered if the pretty blue peacock chair had sold...I rang the bell, walked in, and finally saw her in per[...]
