Beautiful Distractions is a quick list of my favorite things. Be it currently coveting, thinking of, reading, or shopping for, I hope you enjoy them as much as I do, and happy Friday the 13th! With the basement renovation underway, I've been shopping for a simple wood mirror. Oddly more difficult to find than I thought it woul[...]

It's the most wonderful time of the year, but how the hell are the holidays here already? Knowing full well I'm a procrastinator, and when it comes to holiday decor, well I kinda fail; I signed up for White Buffalo Styling Co.'s BSHT 2016 Christmas Home Tour last August. Plenty of time to prepare and plan...and plan I did...in my he[...]
While meandering around the flea market a couple of months ago, I visited one of my favorite vendors.

Two more weeks until the One Room Challenge final bathroom makeover reveal. This week's post is a DIY of how to turn an antique dresser into a vanity.

How crazy am I to sign up for a summer home tour on moving day? Ummmm, very; and I'm hoping this post doesn't turn out to be a dud because there is a lot of blank slate below compared to all the other home tours.

Well, that was a bit of radio silence, huh? So sorry. I gotta tell you guys, that One Room Challenge really wiped me out. That and all last week my in-laws were visiting from Germany, oh and I was playing reindeer games last Sunday too! Let me tell you about it! Susan and William of House Of Brinson were shooting in town, so Ni[...]
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[...]
Warning! Do not read this post unless you want to drool and swoon over the most beautiful home decor on the planet. Ever since West Elm and Kate Spade hooked up, I've wanted to see more. More chairs. More lighting. More sofas. Well, it has arrived. The Kate Spade Home Decor line was recently launched. Oh Boy! Oh Boy! Oh Boy! I'm as[...]
