my home
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…
big change in an itty, bitty space
While I usually find decorating large, open spaces more challenging than smaller ones, I have been contemplating how to go about tackling a 4.5 foot by 3 foot space in my home for the last year…the uninspiring toilet room. There are plenty of other spaces in the house that need addressing, but I thought this…
busy bee
This weekend I crossed a lot of items of my to-do list, the biggest being planting a bunch of 5-gallon bushes down the one side of my house! I made a trip back here and spent a mere $140 on 25 plants, which I piled in the hubby’s truck: As I pulled up to pay,…
new shades, big difference
I love using black as an accent color. Picture frames, furniture, even lighting look so chic in black, so when I scored these lamps on sale a few months ago, I knew black shades would add a little punch to my entryway. Believe it or not, it’s pretty hard to find extra large black drum…
almost done!
Our corner built-ins are officially done! I still have to finish filling in nail holes and putting a final coat of paint on them, but I am SO happy with how awesome they look! (Please excuse the TV…the cable cords aren’t long enough to reach any further, so the whole thing is sitting right in…
corner built-ins
I can’t believe I’m showing you this, but I might as well keep it real…this is the what the TV “situation” has been in our living room since we moved in a year ago: Surround sound speakers, tons of cords and a large TV, all sitting on an old coffee table that I used to…
my master bath plan
Last year, when we built our new home, I knew exactly what I wanted in every part of the house. I like to think that working with me was a builder’s dream, because, even before ground was broken, I had already picked paint colors, tile, hardwoods, cabinet style, granite, even which way to run 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…
luxe for less: devon chandelier
I have been smitten with the Devon Chandelier from Williams Sonoma Home since I first laid eyes on it in their summer catalog two years ago. At almost 3 feet wide, I knew it would be the perfect piece for our dining room in the new house, but here was no way I could justify…
