loving lately for lydia: zara baby
One of the million and one fun parts of having a baby girl is that momma gets to play dress up all day long! Having the first grandchild on my side, and a girl at that, has resulted in Lydia having a wardrobe and shoe collection that rivals my own. If you follow me on…

high street market
There are quite a few big box retailers I source from regularly, as much for the variety as for the price point, but every project and home (even mine!) can benefit from more unique, one-of-a-kind decorative accessories that really add a personal touch to a space without breaking the bank. An added bonus is when…

fab fall finds for $75 or less
Yesterday marked the start of fall and, much to my surprise, the temperature never made it above 65, so I’m finally very excited for the change in seasons! I emptied all of my summer pots and got them ready for some mums, cabbage, kale and ornamental grasses and am chomping at the bit to pull…

loving lately: blue+ white + lots of texture
Happy Hump Day! I can’t believe it’s August already – where has the summer gone? The last month Baby Girl has been waking every 1.5-2 hours, so I’m pretty sure I’ve missed most of this summer just by sauntering through it in a foggy haze. In my mind though and, if I’m being honest, in…

lighten up for summer
The seventy degree weather we’ve been enjoying the last few days couldn’t have come at a better time….I was able to open my pool, plant a bunch of sweet potato vine and purple queen, make some headway refinishing and reupholstering a set of four dining chairs and get a couple of coats of wipe on…

There are a few watercolors that have been bouncing around Pinterest lately that really caught my eye and had me feeling familiar with the painting style. I was thrilled to discover they were actually the work of New Hampshire-based Michelle Morin, the artist behind United Thread, an Etsy shop I’ve been enamored with for a…
