healthy breakfast quinoa

Once upon a time, PoMoHostess used to have as many food/recipe posts as house posts. No joke. Thats why there are so many food and party pics in the header up top. If youve started reading recently, ...

next big project: the bedroom window seat

I have been conspicuously silent on the subject of our mountain house bedroom, despite finishing the two guest bedrooms in the house a while ago (see them here and here). Like most people, weve focus...

a new place to rest our feet

Here today with a quick project Ive just wrapped up that solves the dilemma of how to bring trendy elements into a room without committing to a big or big ticket piece. In this case: Ikat. I love it,...

changing my mind; and why blogs are bad

I love blogs. And even more than blogs, I love bloggers. My problem isnt with bloggers, its with blogs. Is it just me? Well, lets see... Have you ever declared that something was positively over? Rem...

the unpretty things make the pretty things prettier

Say that 10 times fast. Though various home magazines and scads of blogs would insist otherwise, I firmly believe that every home needs some not-so-pretty areas in order to maintain prettiness in oth...

Last week I was radio blog silent because I was busy kicking all kinds of ass around the house. It was a secret. So secret I couldnt even say it was a secret. Why? Because Mark was out of town for a ...

warm design

If youve perused the photos of either of the places weve decorated, youve likely noticed that I am much more drawn to cool colors than I am to warm colors. Hmm... blue much? Yes, Im totally predictab...

Yes, I realize how ridiculous the title of this post sounds. No, our house is not huge (1800 square feet). But one of the biggest selling features for us was how well those 1800 square feet are used,...
