There's been some chatter of a super-secret, amazingly stupendous, Mid-Century Modern bedroom makeover project. Yep, I was on track for a very cool feature in a very cool magazine, but, weird shit happens sometimes and whomp, whomp. I think that game is over. It's okay though, I'm over it...not really. Insert laughing so hard I'm crying[...]

Hey you guys! How's your week going? Did you read my last post about decorating with and neutrals? Well, I figured out a solution to my newfound love of whites and neutrals.

A while back, Laura wrote a post about *needing* to own a lake house because she had too many mugs…I said I’d move in as well since I had too many chairs (I like to save them). Anyhoo, Laura[...]

If you read my to-do list, you know that there are many areas in my home that aren't perfect. Yes, there are nooks of perfection, but there are also&nbs[...]
A new house and blank slates can be exciting and overwhelming to a person who is not a professional interior designer such as me. When we first moved into our home three years ago, the entire house was every shade of pink: rose, salmon, fuchsia...it was ugly folks! In fact, we almost didn't look at it based on the way it showed online. T[...]
