I am fully into the Christmas season – and at a borderline early date. I have both of my trees up and all the window lights are set to impress (or scare) my neighbors. The last thing on my list is outdoor lights and anything else that might be associated. I was at Lowe’s tonight…
I’m supposed to be writing a post about windows right now but it is just not very inspiring. Windows are super important but I’d rather think of something fun and enticing. So that’s how we landed powder rooms. Also known as a half bathroom. Also known as where you run to after speeding into the…
After this recent post, I got an encouraging email from my architect. If I’m being honest, writing that post was a bit of my way to communicate that I was struggling a bit. That I felt behind. That I needed a reminder to make progress… and that progress wasn’t permanent. The phase we are at…
It feels like we are about three weekends into Fall and so much of my weekend pictures have been at a beach during daylight hours. But, I’m hoping my new camera pushes me to try out different locations and subjects. The recent super moon has been the ideal opportunity to try some new skills… and…
I am writing this post because I’m falling behind. Two weeks ago I met with my architect Heidi over a preliminary draft of plans… and then I’ve made little progress since then. It’s on me. I was supposed to review the drawings, write on them, make notes, move things around, think about it… and then…
Oh shutters! Be still my beating heart. There are many things that I love about my old house – but the shutters are my jam. The current shutters are a majestic and deep shade of green. To add a little more charm, the shutters have little pine trees on them. I think I looked past…
I believe we are firmly into the Fall season right now. I know this because all I can see is beautiful brightly colored leaves. I honestly thought last weekend would have been the peak but now I’m convinced it is… right now. So go outside immediately. I also know it’s Fall because all I want…
Recently I completed one of the homework assignments that my designer Heidi gave me: trying on bathtubs. When we were talking about design elements and what I liked and didn’t like, bathtubs came up. It went something like this: H: What about bathtubs? Free-standing or built-in? Me: I think free-standing? <lacking confidence, sounding very questioning> H:…
via I’m not sure when I started to fall in love with oriental rugs. I think it was a gradual transition from the over dyed rug trend – then wham… oriental rug love. Wham is clearly a technical decor trending word. I think what I love most about the rugs is there is so much…
I’m not really one for buying myself amazing shoes, makeup or clothes really. I guess you could say that I invest in going to yoga, buying pancetta and cheese, and anything that falls into the category of fleece or vest. It’s a constant struggle for me to not buy more cheese and more outerwear. At…
