my new favorite bamboo woven roman shades

June 7, 2016

Woven Roman blinds are my favorite window treatments; they work in almost every decorating style and bring so much warmth, texture and interest to a space.  The problem with them, however, is that EVERY time I find some that I love and that are reasonably priced, they end up being discontinued quicker than I can…

There are so many advantages of having an open floor plan – it’s great for entertaining, it makes your home feel even larger and is a great way to bounce natural light around (not to mention, it’s a great way to keep an eye on littles when you’re trying to make dinner or cleanup!).  I…

for the love of ligustrum

April 11, 2016

Spring has officially sprung around here and I couldn’t be happier!  As the last of the pollen clears out, I’ve been spending countless nap times pulling weeds and picking up the five million pinecones all over my yard in preparation for opening the pool for summer.  It takes me a while because I stop to…

It’s been an exciting few days at my house as the grass cloth I’ve pined for the last few years started going up in my dining room!  I bit the bullet a few months ago and ordered a few rolls and even though just the ceiling, tray sophet and one wall are done, I can’t…

our christmas decor + the one finger rule

December 14, 2015

Hello, hello!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! It was 75 degrees and sunny here so we spent almost all of ours outside, but I did manage to snap a few (hundred) photos of my Christmas decor before my greens are completely fried!  Every year I swear I’m never buying the real stuff…

my favorite blue/gray interior paint color

March 11, 2015

Happy Hump Day, friends!  A few of you asked about the sofa and throw pillows in my living room after I posted a picture on Instagram last week of how we keep our furbaby from having dance parties on the sofa when we are out of the house, so, I thought it was good motivation…
