Patio Escape – The Teaser

I mentioned in last week’s closing post that I had several irons in the fire – projects that I’ve been working on for a while and will see the fruits of soon. Tomorrow will mark the...

Walking the Line

I often walk a fine line between endlessly inspired and hopelessly overwhelmed, wobbling back and forth between the two daily. When my work is inspiring, I feel energized and capable of anything. Whe...

Color Study… Ep. 11

Loving the warm hues of ivory, red, and tan on my front porch these days. In my last Color Study episode, I mentioned a special project coming up. It’s still in the works so you’ll have t...

In Gatsby Fashion

A simple white dress, grecian inspired ankle wrap sandals, and a hand-painted head scarf… ingredients for an outfit with Gatsby appeal and hot weather functionality. The clean cut of the white ...

Modern Elegance

A large portion of what makes the Craine home so elegant and attractive are the iconic furniture pieces that Cindy and Patrick chose for their home. This red Eames chair not only molds to the body pe...

Style Story… Patrick & Cindy Craine

For the Menfolk #3… Not Your Typical “T”

Perhaps contrary to my husband’s belief, I have nothing against the classic T-shirt. In fact, a silky soft white v-neck T paired with a colorful vintage skirt just happens to be my idea of the ...

Joyful Weekend

New Pillows – Quick Tip

I tout the virtues of second-hand shopping more than enough on this blog but I’m afraid you’ll have to endure my praises still. Last week, while scouting for an exciting patio project (ke...

Art & Life

When was the last time you visited an art museum? Be honest… last month, last year, last century?! If you haven’t recently, I implore you, make it a priority. David and I visited The Mode...

Twice as Nice… Summer Abroad

Beyond the Walls

How often do you really open your eyes to the details of your surroundings? Most days, I’m very aware of what’s around me (except when the house needs cleaning and the laundry is piling u...

About Bugs in Bracelets

David and I both agree, I could use a little more edge. It’s not exactly in my personality to be edgy… I’d sooner choose a 50s sun dress over a leather studded handbag. And thatR...

Stepping Pretty…Twice as Nice

You may have noticed in yesterday’s ShoeMint introduction that I included a list of “outfit details” towards the end of the post. “What’s that?”, you ask! No worri...

Back in the Saddle

Since the last time I spoke with you, dear readers, I feel as though I’ve been on top off the world, downs in the pits, and back again. It’s been a roller coaster ride to say the least!! ...
