Last spring, I bought one of my first pieces of rattan furniture. What I like to call my entry-level step into the world of bohemian decor. Pretty soon, one rattan chair turned into two. Shortly after a side table arrived, followed by another. And after perusing Craigslist, my two chairs turned into three; only to be given the, "enough wi[...]

Times up! Sound the alarm, the One Room Challenge final reveal deadline bell is ringing. Hands up. Put the decor down. Well kinda. It's the night before this post goes live, and I'm typing as fast as my little fingers can hit keys. I take that back, it's after midnight. But for all intents and purposes, this room is dunzo! Like many of[...]
Phew! Man, the past week has flown by. Radio silence has ensued (sorry about that...it's not you, it's me), but I swear I'm not sitting on the sofa eating bon-bons watching Days Of Our Lives. (Is that show even on anymore? In college was addicted to it.) Anyhoo, I've been moving around furniture, styling vignettes, giving the UPS man hugs[...]
Late last Spring I gave both my primary bedroom and guest room a major makeover. I was on design project overload, and oddly, it seemed like every other blogger on the planet was doing the same. What a strange coincidence. Everyone I knew was suddenly tearing their homes apart and documenting the process. Why are you guys stealing my thun[...]
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 panic[...]
It started out as one tiny air plant purchased at The Renegade Craft Fair. Just one. One that I knew I would probably kill. One that let out a tiny scream of fear when it saw me approach. One that I took home and forgot to water. One that I accidentally left overnight in a bowl of water. Subconsciously making up for the week prior. One ti[...]
The awesomeness of the bar cart was first introduced to me years ago by the always fabulous Mrs. Lilien. Her boozy concoctions always resting on beautiful brass and glass. I longed to sit poolside with her highness, in Palm Springs, dressed in a bright flowy kaftan, sipping libations, garnished with a juicy chunk of pineapple and a[...]
While working on the master bedroom makeover, I thought of a new description for beautiful rugs, floor flair. I declared it was the coolest new adjective ever. What is it you ask? Simply put, glamorous floor accessories that are so rad they might make you cry. Rugs, tile, paint, wood...if it makes you so incredibly happy that you ball lik[...]
Today is not just Tuesday; it's one of those super exciting, special days for me. Today I'm being interviewed on Chairish. They asked me questions about the items I purchased on one of their Chairish Instagram Sales and how I styled the pieces in my home. Woah! Slow down. How did this happen, you ask? Well, here's the back story, but[...]
