new hutch is in!
I hope everyone had a great Turkey Day! We spent the long weekend in what felt like food and alcohol-induced comas and it was wonderful to do nothing but spend time with family! From the time we chose and tweaked the floorplan for our home I knew I wanted a hutch in the breakfast area…

around my house…
…things are a tad bit crazy! Aside from trying to finish a job for a client before Thursday, I’m also hosting Thanksgiving at my house this year, which means I’m planning dinner, cleaning the house and trying to finish up a few odds and ends before family gets in town. I had a post all…

DIY: grid gallery wall
Decorating a large expanse of wall or even one with a vaulted ceiling used to frustrate the heck out of me, but I quickly learned there is power in numbers. A gallery wall of your favorite photos or artwork hung in a grid pattern packs a huge visual punch and makes a beautiful display. Remember…

it’s up!
My sunburst mirror has been proudly displayed above my fireplace for the last month, so I thought it was about time to show it off! Despite getting off to a rocky start, nearly giving me a heart attack (the rinky dink D-rings that came attached to the back broke as the hubby was lifting it…
