I liked that crazy necklace when I first saw it online, but I want it even more now that I’ve tried it on and seen the scale of it. It’s massive, and kooky, and it looked so good with the...
It is a coincidence that I decorated with hearts for August’s first birthday party last week. (I associate Eleanor with elephants, and August with hearts. Because I’m odd.) Since the deco...
I’ve been meaning to get around to painting the trim in the living room for quite some time now. It was on my 30 Before Thirty list, but it was one of the handful of things I didn’t accom...
A great post on not giving up. And speaking of not giving up, Domino is coming back! But wait… it may just be the equivalent of a clip show. For the fellas: How to dress for a date like you know what...
I’ll be taking a photo of August sitting in the Eames rocker and wearing his pin each month until he’s two years old. I also took monthly photos of his older sister, Eleanor, until she turned two. Pr...
My little guy is one today, and we had a celebration for him over the weekend. (more…) Related Posts Eleanor’s First Birthday Party Eleanor’s Second Birthday Party (Complete with Ra...
Channel your inner Linda Evangelista with this pillow, and then hope luck is on your side with a gold wishbone keychain. Or if not, go incognito with some oversized sunnies. Related Posts Wooden Disc...
I helped a reader of Making it Lovely, Kathryn, with her bedroom not long ago. It was a fun project to work on, and the room is now featured in the new issue of Adore Home, an Australian online magaz...
There are some excellent resolution backgrounds at the To Resolve Project. I love that one to the right: “Work like you don’t need the money (but then, you know, get the money).” [v...
Eleanor loves the ukulele. “Heetahr? Oookooulaylie?” she asks. Meaning, “hey lady, go grab the ukulele off the highest shelf in your office, and drag that acoustic guitar out of the...
The Land of Nod was so into the bedroom I designed for Eleanor (which they helped furnish) that they recreated the look for their new catalog. It’s on page 61. Our copy arrived today, and I sho...
I’ve finally finished the redesign of Making it Lovely! Well, that’s not entirely true. There are a million and one little tweaks and additions that I’d still like to make, but the ...
I’m squeaking in at the end here with this month’s style post! I had put together two fashion posts earlier in the month, but a few people have been asking for the official January outfit...
I’m still working away at the redesign, and I will be launching it February 1 as scheduled. I’m waffling between a clean, white minimal (well, minimal by my standards) look vs. my usual m...
Album covers, minus the members that are now gone. * The ultimate Alt Summit roundup (on Pinterest, natch). Vintage posters of Chicago’s elevated line. Personally, I’m more of a Tagalongs...
How do you find color schemes for your home? I think it happens somewhat intuitively for me at this point, but I know I used to have to see all of the colors together before moving forward. I do stil...
This bedding is in the boy’s section, but I think my girl would be all over it. She’s always asking to play “fix it, Mama!” • You may also like these related posts from Making...
This little bench (which comes in larger size and in three colors) would make the perfect perch to sit and take off your shoes. Bonus points for designating the spot with a cute sign! • You may also ...
I had planned to do a straightforward recap of the Alt Summit, 2012. I’ve tried to sit down and write it all down for you, but I’m struggling. It isn’t because Alt wasn’t amaz...
I’m still at Alt Summit, seeing old friends and meeting new ones, and finally meeting people I’ve “known” for years (like my roomie Michelle above). I think I’m getting ...
I have my new business cards, just in the nick of time for Alt Summit! My old cards were cute, but it was time for something new. Shiny gold foil printing on thick pink card stock. I designed them, t...
I could say this is the most ridiculous thing I’ve received as a blogger. It’s a signed Jonathan Adler toilet paper roll cover, which does in fact feel ridiculous to type out. But the thi...
Amazing! This is a conceptual piece by artist. Tyree Callahan, who modified a typewriter by replacing the keys with pads of color. p.s. Check out another artist’s take on a different ‘typ...
I’m obsessed with these vintage ads. I want candy-colored appliances and crazy patterns in my kitchen too! Have you been following Jules’ William Morris project? This video made me miss m...
Yesterday, I helped pack your bags for a trip. Today I’m focusing on something a little more specific: the Alt Summit Winter Wonderland party, inspired by the French Diner en Blanc. It has ever...
Are you heading off on a trip soon? (Alt Summit, perhaps?) I’mma pack your bag for you. It’s much easier than packing my own. (more…) Related Posts Let’s Get Dressed for a Din...
It has been five years since my very first post on Making it Lovely. I started this blog on a bit of a whim when my husband and I were been looking for our first home. I had big plans and I had alway...
I napped. August napped. We missed the daylight and had to turn on the lights in the room. It kills me that the lighting is so different from the rest of his photos! I’ll be taking a photo of August ...
