It's been a hot minute since I've written a fireplace renovation update. Yes, I could blame it on being busy and the holidays, but really, my lack of enthusiasm was due to my choice of paint. That deep saturated blue-gray Farrow & Ball DeNimes paint paired with the honed limestone fireplace reminded me of prison walls or better yet,[...]
Over the last couple of years, I've participated in my friend Stephanie of Casa Watkins Living's holiday home tour, and I am thrilled to be invited again. All this week, starting today, 30 different home decor bloggers (I've linked the first 6 below - 6 new bloggers will be linked every day this week) will be opening the doors to their b[...]
The latest upholstery project really pushed me out of my comfort zone, especially the bold rust fabric on the vintage Alky chair. Although all that color and pattern was nerve-racking, I was so happy with how the chairs transformed the room.

The last time I participated, I was an ORC featured designer and had so much fun. Why not do it again? Am I right? RELATED: The bric[...]

So if you want a change now, reupholstering chairs or a sofa could be your best option, but it can be an investment, so let’s chat about how to[...]
After I pressed publish on my Serena & Lily Home Decor Favorites post, I added this brass floor lamp and the Parisian side table I was coveting to cart. After both pieces arrived, I started pushing furniture around the house, rearranging, restyling, redecorating. I'm loving where they landed in the TV room and wanted to share the spa[...]
