Last May, my parents, out of the blue, announced that they would be selling my childhood home in Baraboo, WI. Well, I guess not completely out of the blue, but earlier than expected. After snowbirding between Wisconsin and Florida for years, they found the perfect senior living community in Naples and decided to move there permanently.[...]
Okay friend, grab your hot cocoa because we're about to dive into something that's bringing me so much joy this holiday season—the "Tacky Christmas tree" trend. As someone who's always been a bit weary of showing off her Christmas tree in recent years, I mean, who would be interested in my chaos tree? I never thought I'd be writing thi[...]
I was sorting through boxes and stumbled across a stack of vintage gold — my old Sassy Magazines circa 1988 through the early 1990s. These date back to my rebellious teen era — the junior high and high school years. During this time, I shaved my head, wore a black leather motorcycle jacket, listened to Morrissey, and suddenly shifted[...]
I love a good dupe, especially when I'm decorating on a budget, so if you’re looking for an Anthropologie mirror dupe at an affordable price, you've landed in the right spot. The Gleaming Primrose mirror has been a coveted piece for years, but the price tag can take your breath away. So, I’ve made it my mission to fin[...]
It's a chilly afternoon here in Chicago, and I have a ton of things on my to-do list. One of them is to clean up my digital files. Woof. I have over 90,000 images on my phone and 497 tabs open on my phone's browser. Of course, I'm procrastinating thanks to my ADHD. BTDubs, I'd have more browser tabs open, but the iPhone only allows 500 t[...]
The dining room was the first room I began decorating in this home. Probably because the formal dining room was the kids' playroom in our previous home, this was something new, fun, and different to decorate...thank you, ADHD. After the kids went night-night, I perused Facebook Marketplace, hunting for a vintage pine wood table and 80s m[...]
Oh, do I have a treat for you! Today I'm sharing my favorite vintage decor, and so are my friends Sarah and Chloe from Room For Tuesday and Boxwood Avenue. The original concept was to share one and only one piece of vintage decor, but I said, "ONE SRSLY ONE?" The struggle is real. I can't wait to see what favorite vintage decor my g[...]
I'm sitting in my office trying to psych myself up for this weekend's project. It's not going to be a fun one. The Boy and I will be rolling up our sleeves to Konmarie the kids' rooms. You may have seen Cooper's bedroom mood board here and Zoe's pretty in pink bedroom here. The wallpaper was never purchased or hung in Zoe's room, and she[...]
This is a post where modern home decor meets my modern personal life. I've known the homeowners of this fabulous place for, wow, over 20 years now...girl, can you believe it's been that long? Carrie was my boss at a startup dot com back in 2000. Her style has evolved over time, and I can officially say, this home tour is hands down my fa[...]
