farmhouse fresh
I’ve always loved farmhouse tables – weathered, distressed wood with years of wear and tear add such a rustic, lovely touch to a kitchen or dining room and I’m thrilled to have scored a bunch of thick, wide, pine planks from a nearby barn to MAKE MY OWN!!! It’s going to be the perfect touch…
tangerine tango
Pantone’s color of the year for 2012 is tangerine tango and what a great pick, if you ask me. While it’s certainly not a hue for the faint-hearted, everyone can use a little orange in their life-in small doses, this vibrant shade adds a pop of color to the gloomy winter and reminds me of…
black & white (and a bit in between)
For Christmas this year, Celerie Kemble’s latest design book, Black & White, found its way under the tree and I was surprised to see how many of the images that I had squirreled away in my inspiration files over the years were showcased in her book! With fabulous examples of ways to infuse a little…
gallery wall goodness
After taking down all our Christmas decorations yesterday, I got to rearranging some artwork and photographs and before I knew it, I was re-doing an entire gallery wall! If you’re working on a tight budget, like I usually am, pictures of friends and family is a great way to add interest to any space and…
dream office
Right now, my office at home consists of a desk and a ginormous corkboard in an unused bedroom that also doubles as a dumping ground for anything that hasn’t yet found a home elsewhere. (Don’t judge me-everyone has one of these rooms…don’t they?) Atlanta interior designer Barbara Westbrook, however, gets her creative juices flowing in…
happy new year!
I’m a little late, but I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and are off to a great start in 2012! I hadn’t planned on taking last week off from blogging, but it was a much needed break to disconnect completely (with the exception of a few pins here and there). 2011 was…
merry christmas!
It’s time to pack it in and do nothing but enjoy the next few days with my furbaby and my wonderful hubby. May the spirit of the Christmas season be with you always! Merry Christmas!
diy: book page wreath
Just in time for Christmas, I thought I’d try my hand at making a wreath out of book pages. I know I’m certainly not the first person to attempt this, but I’ve always loved how beautiful and simple they are and I’m pretty impressed with how mine turned out. They make a great Christmas or…
a fabulous reader’s christmas
Yesterday, I stopped over at my good friend and client, Krista’s, house and thought her Christmas decorations were too lovely not to share! Especially after an email I received last week from a reader asking if I ever came across homes that were decorated with children in mind…Krista’s got two little ones of her own…
decked out for the holidays
While checking out my Pinterest page this morning, I came across this gorgeous, light-filled bedroom, decorated for Christmas, via Traditional Home (surprisingly, the only home decor magazine I don’t subscribe to, which explains how I missed it): I had to check out the rest of the house and it was equally beautiful. What I love…
our house at christmas
Christmas seemed to creep up on me this year before I knew it! We usually get our tree right after Thanksgiving, but I’ve been so busy with work that we didn’t start decorating until almost two weeks later. I didn’t go all out like I usually do, but I’m happy with how the house looks…
dreaming of a white christmas
Last year, we got ten inches of snow the day after Christmas (above). Living in the southeastern part of the country, it was definitely an unexpected, but lovely surprise. I had a wicked case of bronchitis, but that didn’t stop me from donning ten layers of warm clothes and venturing outside to take pics. …
