Do you remember when I unveiled the bedroom refresh earlier this year? I mentioned in that post that I might have the perfect art piece for behind the bed, and it couldn't be more perfect! It's like it was custom made specifically for this room, the colors go so...
Valentine's Day is just around the corner and I prefer a low key celebration at home as it's usually so overcrowded at the restaurants, plus it can also be a pain to find a babysitter. Do you love to thrift? I sure do and almost everything featured on the tablescape...

It's no secret that color excites me and though it may seem that I am always redoing our bedroom, the green version has actually been in place for awhile(well, maybe not that long). Anyway, toward the end of last year, i felt it was time for a change and I kept...

This home brimming with fun pieces, bright and happy color in every room is sure to brighten your day, especially if you've been enveloped in sunless skies as I've been for the past couple days. It's been quite depressing really. I love how happy this home makes me...
I wonder if the lemon tree I have will grow to such proportions like those pictured above- wow! My Meyers lemon tree had a rough start to the Winter because I forgot to bring it in before the temps fell below freezing. When I finally brought it in (it was already in a...
First, a bit late but Happy New Year everyone! The boys are officially back to school today and while I enjoyed the break and being able to spend time with them, I am thrilled to have our usual routine back. This means while they are in school, I can have(well if...
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and are getting some R&R. It's unbelievable how quickly this year flew by! Here is a roundup of the top 10 posts of the year. I was thrilled to see a couple of my own design projects make the cut:-). Here they are in no...
This post is Sponsored by Starbucks, but all thoughts expressed are my own. My home is somewhat of a laboratory for me as it’s constantly changing. In fact, when friends come over, the first thing they ask is, “what’s new?” As a design blogger, I am always inspired...
The boys will officially be on Christmas break from school today and so I am popping in(while i have the time to spare) to share a couple more Christmas pictures around the house and to wish you all a very Merry Christmas! Be safe, love, laugh, and enjoy this time...
I've always wanted to place a Christmas tree in our bedroom but never did it as that would mean buying an extra tree just for that purpose and that seemed a bit over the top for me. However, since our fiddle leaf fig, Glory the Fig has basically taken over the...
