Elizabeth tells me that I should post a tour of my house. This is a daunting task because I don’t think that I have a single room in my house that I could consider done enough to post pictures. Ah well, we have lived here for more than 20 years and I guess that this … Continue reading
I have a weakness for bedding, if you didn’t know that already. Sometimes I come across a product that I don’t need, but wish I had a need for. Maybe you do? I wish I had an extra bed for these beautiful and romantic Love Letter sheets (that are on sale!) from anthropologie. How cozy … Continue reading
One of my favorite DIY elements in my newly decorated guest room is the lattice border I painted around this basic mirror. It was simple to do, but took a bit of time taping and waiting for layers of paint to dry. I was inspired by a feature in Martha Stewart Living that suggested painting … Continue reading
The guest room is finally together. I have a few things left to touch up, but it is finished and awaiting its first new guest! Remember when I started working on the guest room? I cleared everything out and started with a ‘White Box Challenge,’ just like on Design Star! Well, this season of Design … Continue reading
I told you last week that I’d share the color scheme for my ongoing guest bedroom project with you. Despite a short delay due to a broken water heater, here it is: turquoise, yellow, and gray, with white accents. The bedroom is not done yet, but I have most major elements in place.

I haven’t posted about any of my home projects for a while, and I’ve been doing just a few odds and ends. Plus the house is a mess. It’s hard to motivate when you first have to clean. And hard to clean when you’re out of town on the weekends, since Brentan and I have … Continue reading
In honor of HGTV’s premier of Design Star tonight, I have a special new project of my own: the Guest Bedroom White Box Challenge. I started yesterday by emptying out the guest room of everything except the white bed (yep, even that mirror left after I took the photo), so I could paint and redecorate. … Continue reading
I didn’t tackle everything on my list, but I did make it to six (I think that’s a record) estate sales and to the Sunset Celebration weekend. As for my checklist, I made huevos rancheros (yum!), found some great succulent containers (post coming soon!), and hung up my Home Depot swing arm lamps and installed … Continue reading
It’s 9am, Saturday morning and I have the whole weekend ahead of me. It feels wonderful! I’m feeling ambitious and thinking of tackling a few projects over the weekend. I went to Home Depot last night to pick up a few supplies already. Install swinging arm lamps next to the bed from Home Depot (inspired … Continue reading
Modern Bedroom with Vintage Touches Colors: Sliver, plum, dusty rose, and a little chocolate brown (I’m helping Korin decorate her new condo. You can see the suggestions I’ve made to her living room here, and background about our project here.) Vintage pieces and accents make the … Continue reading
