Drew Barrymore just dropped a new home decor line at Walmart called Flower Home, and it couldn’t be any more perfect! It’s a little bit boho, with a touch of glam and whimsy. So Drew, and right up my alley. Oh, and did I mention it’s completely affordable? Ummm ya. As of late, I’m under a pretty strict budget, so I thought this c[...]
Have you heard the hype about Marie Kondo and the Konmari Method? If you say no, I'm assuming you don't watch Netflix or you've boycotted social media altogether. The new show, "Tidying Up", is trending on Google as people look to organize and clean their homes this January...which I'm sure the timing is no coincidence for the[...]
The weather has turned unseasonably cold in Chicago (a foot of snow last Sunday night), so I've been staying warm by the fireplace...perusing Pinterest, and flipping through magazines. My two favorite pastimes that don't happen as often as I'd like. Today I'm sharing some of my Beautiful Distractions, and I'm especially going gaga over m[...]
Today I have a before and after furniture reveal that is mind-blowing. A while back, I wrote about a quest for the perfect TV watching sofa. When we first moved into the house, I had purchased a vintage sofa with the thought process — it was preowned, it already has dents and dings, and I won't be sad when my kids wreck it. That though[...]
I don't know about you, but when I scroll through Instagram, I sometimes think to myself, ugh, my house is so gross...these rooms are so beautiful with their fanciness...why can't my house look more like this? It's not really the green monster of jealousy, but ya, sometimes it bums me out. Then I meet amazing people with bonkers style, a[...]
Have you attended High Point Market? It's the largest furniture trade show in the world. It's basically like Fashion Week for furniture...and this year I'm going! All the latest furniture launches (I mean you should see the Rumba Crescent Sofa from Adriana Hoyos...srsly, woah! I can't wait to sit my bum in that sucka), the newest interio[...]
January seems to be the month of decluttering the house, and with the cold and polar vortexes expected here in the Midwest, let's make the most of our time and dig into the best organizing tips for a tidy home. I'm a hoarder of all things vintage, and letting go of decor is a very difficult process — legit anxiety-ridden. If you need h[...]
It wasn't until recently that I started shopping thrift stores. The smell at Goodwill kinda skeezed me out, and more often than not, they are full of discarded junk that no one wants. Broke vases, mismatched glasses, holiday decor, old pots and pans, 100s of vases you get from the floral shop, fake Coach purses...shelf after shelf after[...]
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[...]
