Just some quick snapshots of simple ways I’ve started to bring some summer style into our house . . . ...
We’re taking advantage of this last long weekend before the babies come and have spent a couple of nights sitting outside, eating with friends. I love the casual, relaxed feel of dining ...
Besides a dirty white door, the other problem with our back hallway (that I blogged about yesterday) was that it became a dumping ground for backpacks, jackets, shoes, etc. It made...
This door by far gets the most in-and-out traffic in our house. And for that reason, it’s usually covered with dirty handprints and who knows what else. . . . Since it’s a pr...
It’s almost summer and yard sale season is now in full swing. It’s hard to get up early on Saturday mornings and easy to get discouraged if you never find any treasures. I used to ...
Did you see this fabric-wrapped frame on Made By Girl last week? Emily of Lucite + Lavendar used an extra yard of one of my favorite fabrics to make over a plain IKEA frame. ...
How’s that for an ambiguous post title? Well, today is a little random because pre-planning blog posts these days is getting harder and harder. And, blogging with swollen fingers i...
I’ve already confessed to my love of reality TV. There’s just something about mind-numbing entertainment after a long day and when everybody else in my house is in bed that makes me happ...
Last year, my dad sent me a file of old family photographs and this was one of my very favorites: How cute is my granny in her stylish bathing suit? (This is the kind I’ll ...
In honor of Mother’s Day, I asked several design bloggers to share the best piece of advice their mother ever gave them. Thank goodness for a mom’s wisdom. Enjoy! &nb...
Happy mother’s day! I started thinking that although my dad makes an appearance on the blog every now and then, you’ve seen very little of my mother. That’s because when my dad and...
Considering we’re getting ready to have five kids in a three bedroom house, I think it’s a valid question. Although we’re planning on putting the twins in our room for a good while, I h...
This giveaway is now closed. The last month of this twin pregnancy hasn’t exactly made me feel like Polly Sunshine. So, when these arrived at my door yesterday, it was a nice...
After posting our “dining room to home office makeover”, Christine emailed me for the name of our carpenter. She also had a mostly unused dining space that she wanted to convert: ...
The anniversary issue of House of Fifty launched yesterday, and as usual, Janell did a great job of putting together a beautiful, colorful issue. (Find all the ways to read the issue he...
I can hardly believe I hit the 34 week mark yesterday. Although not much longer, I think these babies are sucking the life out of me. And, the belly is stretched to capacity: ...
Another experiment in using what I have. . . . Remember the brown chair and ottoman I had in the corner of our last family room? We’ve been using the ottoman in our ...
If you still haven’t bought your mom a gift, why not buy one from one of my very nice sponsors? :) Here are a few ideas: &...
Remember the Windsor Smith fabric that I used (and happened to find in a remnant bin) for curtains in the breakfast nook of our old house? I often get emails asking for th...
You may have noticed that I’ve had using every little area of your home on my mind lately, and this apartment is a perfect example. At the end of Wednesday’s “Send Me a Picture” post, I ...
I don’t know about you, but I always find myself dwelling on what still needs to be done around our house, rather than enjoying the things we’ve already done. When you love “home improve...
More tweaking to this little spot in our house . . . (I think it drives me crazy because I see it from my desk when I’m working.) Anyway, remember the “pleather” ottoman cubes I stuck un...
No, not me (thank you very much). But, my husband turns 40 today. (Yes, he married a baby.) Since he’s one of my most faithful blog readers and has always help...
Oprah has “aha!” moments. And, I have “duh!” ones. Remember the “pleather” ottomans in our foyer? While my aunt was visiting last week, I recruited her help to...
Thanks to all of you who have shopped my Curator’s Collection on Joss & Main. Since today is the last day of the sale, and I had a reader ask for styling advice for some of the items...
I recently “met” Lesli when she left the nicest comment on my blog a few weeks ago. I clicked through to find her wonderful blog that I had been missing out on. Lesli is a wife, mo...
I’m excited to announce that my Curator’s Collection on Joss & Main is now live. I hope you’ll pop over to do some shopping. Here’s a sample of what you’ll find: ...
Thanks to the Huffington Post for featuring my easy fabric roller shade on the Stylist Home section of their web site recently. You may remember we completed ...
Just a quick reminder that my curator’s sale on Joss & Main starts tomorrow. Here’s a quick preview of some of the projects I pulled inspiration from when selecting which items to in...
Things I learned this weekend: Manicures and McDonald’s make for a very happy 6th birthday. Bi-Lo (grocery store) makes a mean Barbie cake for $29.99,...
