Decorating with vintage home decor really shows off your personality...not to mention it can be easy on the wallet. But there's a fine line between staying in the now and time-warping back to The Brady Bunch. So how do you find that trending boho slash mid-century modern look and not have Marsha screaming, "Oh! My nose!" Easy, lea[...]
Today I'm participating in the Cozy Little House's Fall Home Tour. Brenda asked me to join in a while back, but somehow I missed her email. I found it last week while cleaning out my inbox, responded immediately in hopes to be included, and was lucky enough to have her squeeze me in. Thank you Brenda! But after she accepted, I panicked[...]
It's been a little while since we've checked in on my Decorist makeover. No, no I didn't forget. Pinky swear. I've actually been working on it like a madwoman. The final board arrived in my inbox the day before I left for Germany. Since I was out of the country for 2 weeks, I couldn't order anything until after I returned. Bob, my neighb[...]
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[...]
Do you guys ever get all gung-ho about a home decor project, get frustrated, have a freak-out session, and then procrastinate? Erm, please say yes. Please tell me I'm not the only one with my head in the sand. See, a long time ago, I posted a picture of the state of my bedroom. It was one of those before shots that I said may never have[...]
Oh Emily. I'm so sorry. I do realize you are completely distraught with some people's irreverent taste in ghastly sofas, but I know you're really only masking your sadness because you peeked at my front room. Charlie Hendo has been gently wiping the tears streaming down your face and cooing oh so sweetly, "Don't cry momma." But tha[...]
Over my break, I kinda stepped back from the old bloggety blog and took one of the views from 40,000 feet. Yikes, I sound so corporate. But I did, and something very noticeable stood out to me. House Of Hipsters took a weird turn from home decor to being more DIY-driven. Wait, what??? How did that happen? Don't get me wrong, I love the D[...]
So a long, long, LONG time ago, I photographed my front room and posted it to the blog. This is when I had about 5 visitors a day and you guys probably hadn't any idea of its existence. So this past weekend, I decided to rephotograph it (since it has changed a bit...does that surprise anyone? Nope. Not one bit.) and repost. Y'all know my[...]
Hello, lovelies! It's really late tonight, and I just can't sleep. The Boy is traveling on business which means momma bird stays up all night long making sure no masked bandits get in the house. I know, it's super silly, but I have this fear that if I close my eyes, something horrible will happen, and I will sleep thru the entire ordeal.[...]
