Remember when I mentioned wanting a Diptyque candle for my makeup brushes? Yeah, this is why: Both images from The Glitter Guide: here’s ONE and TWO.
Back today after taking advantage of every minute of our long weekend! Did you get anything done around the house? I think we subconsciously adopted the first weekend of summer as our “summer p...
Just for fun, a few outfit ideas if you’re headed to the farmer’s market this weekend! I’m headed out to stock up on summer fashion staples (aka buy shorts and a few tanks) and lay ...
I was so flattered when Gabriella of Green Home Today asked me to participate in her guest series all about eco-living. I joined 8 other women to all talk about how to green up our own particular are...
Decorative folding screens are one of those things that can be very intimidating to use – it’s even a little intimidating to suggest one to a client because it’s hard to explain the...
Believe it or not, we’re quickly approaching our year anniversary of living in the (new) apartment. We talked a little this weekend about whether or not we’d like to stay another year (or...
Summer is JUST around the corner for us in the northern hemisphere, and it’s a great time to freshen up the decor in your home. I’m going to leave all the outdoor stuff for another post &...
Today I want to hear from YOU. What are you working on in your home? What’s been a challenge? Are there issues that have you totally stumped (small space, big space, weird windows, crapp...
I was browsing 1st Dibs the other day for textiles, and found an amazing selection of gorgeous antique quilts. I love quilts. They are such a great example of the creativity and talents of women gene...
Hey loves! Thanks for the kind comments on the Things I’m Afraid to Tell You post yesterday. I think I’ll be sharing more later. It was scary to even just proclaim “I’m not pe...
Meg asked me if I’d join in a second round of Things I’m Afraid to Tell You posts (a movement inspired by Jess, started by Ez)… and I have to admit, it was a hard decision to agree ...
I started working on this little room just for fun, and to play around with pastels a bit (practice practice!). As I was about halfway through I realized that some of you might think it’s inter...
My birthday is less than a week away (next Tuesday, and don’t worry, I have something special in the works for that) so I’ve gotten a lot of recent requests for gift ideas from family and...
I was perusing Etsy the other day for pillows and happened to spot a set of coasters made from kilim weavings. Typically you see a kilim as a rug or pillow, but when one is damaged, why not use the s...
Well it’s no question that the ’90s are back (or at least, hopefully, being reinvented). One of the easier pills to swallow is the return of pastels. I like pastels, assuming they donR...
Oops, I missed the first Thursday (yesterday) Artist of the Month post but hopefully you made it to see some free or discounted museums! If you’re in Seattle, you’re in luck, because THIS...
Every month I get several emails from other creative people (mostly women but not all!) who want to change to or start a career in interiors and want my advice. Usually they just don’t know the...
Finally got a chance to flip through the latest Crate and Barrel catalog last night after I wrapped up some client work (my calendar is finally clearing up if you’ve been thinking about e-decor...
We’ve had a couple of fun weekends close to home lately but I’m still getting the travel itch (looking forward to our summer vacation isn’t helping!). I was poking around in The Gir...
There’s a whole lot of alliteration happening in that title! But I’m back for a Friday Five Faves where I share five of my favorite things in a given category. Today is foods! As you can ...
Last Thursday I spent part of the afternoon at The Bachelor Pad wrapping up a few projects and making our final list! We even managed to squeeze in a quick trip to West Elm while our spray paint was ...
On Sunday, celebrate Earth Day by shopping at CB2 – they are planting trees for each purchase. And as a special incentive to Maggie Rose readers, if you enter the code TWOTREES when you purchas...
Don’t miss my TWO guest posts today! The first is at VMac & Cheese with a “Behind the Scenes” interview (and you’ll read why the photo above is me in five years…). T...
Well, I’ve been in an intense search for dining chairs since we moved nine months ago, but everything that I like is out of our budget (which is teensy tiny) and I haven’t had much luck l...
Yesterday I had a coffee date with one of my favorite recently-relocated Seattle girls, Elizabeth of Shock the Bourgeois. She was sweet enough to bring me two porcelain jars that I’d spotted a ...
When your sofa is neutral, the easiest way to update your living room is by changing pillows – they can be a way to freshen up seasonally, or to bring in a trendy color or pattern without break...
I’ve been teasing about changes I’ve made to our bedroom for a few weeks but last Friday was finally sunny (and clean enough!) and I got a few pictures. You’ll see that this is defi...
I was pretty excited when I saw Michelle post an outfit with her safari-style anorak jacket two weeks ago, and I quickly ordered my own. It’s been one of those items that’s been on my ...
I’m introducing a new little series called Friday Five Faves. Just to share five of my favorite things in a certain topic (like bands, foods, or travel locations). Kicking off with my Five Fave...
Artist of the Month comes every first Thursday, as a little reminder to check out the art museums in your area, many of which will be free today (Seattle, all of ‘em are, with discounted admiss...
