So if you caught our post yesterday, I am all about pillows right now. I’m a lot like that book, If You Give A Mouse a Cookie. Except my title would be If You Give a Gal a Nicknack. Because for me, one different element in the room is like a domino effect…much to Jamin’s…
stenciled art : rustic modern
So, I had this blank spot on our wall… Sometimes, I think that’s how all my posts begin. When our fabulous sponsors, Royal Design Studio, were gracious enough to let us choose a stencil, I made a beeline for this design. I knew exactly what I was doing with this incredible pattern. I move things…
colors used in our home
Holla all you wonderful people! So, I’m doing a little blog upkeep today… {Insert super fake excited jumpingupanddowness, here.} But I’ve gotten a lot of questions lately about which colors are which, in our home. And then I realized that the last post I created on paint colors used in our spaces, was over a…
the present family : a leaf garland

Feel free to click on over and read all about it, but our new series, where we’ve partnered up with Perfectly Imperfect, focuses on spending more time with our families.

a handmade centerpiece
This Thanksgiving, I wanted something a little different for our dining room table. Centerpieces are fabulous and everything, but when they’re large and in charge, it’s kind of obnoxious to do the whole, let-me-remove-this-even-though-I-spent-time-on-it-so-it’s-not-in-our-faces-and-we-can-actually-have-a-covo, thing. People sit down, and you lose the entire table scape/ambience/pretty potential-ness of it all, when your centerpiece is in the way. So…
just a little handmade love
Happy Friday to all you amazing people. I hope it’s been a productive, week, and you have a nice, enjoyable weekend. Today, I wanted to talk about a few things floating around on the www that made me smile this week. First up: the cutest little kitchen redo by Rita Joy of harbour breeze. Again,…
simple projects : a place to start.
I recently received a fun message recently from an awesome reader. It went a little something like this: Kelly said: “…what’s a good, simple, statement-making-starter project that you could recommend? I am feeling inspired, and looking for somewhere small to start. I want to go for it, but I’m not sure where to begin. Also, could you tell…
the cheater’s guide to stripes on a rug
When we put the boys’ room together this summer, I knew I needed a rug. Creating the loft suddenly provided a lot of empty space {99% of the time, its covered in toys} and the floor was calling out for something dynamic to fill it. I also needed to balance the overall feel of the…
room redo wanna play winner : august
Winner winner chicken dinner! I’ve always wanted to say that at the beginning of a blog. This one just felt thematically appropriate. That’s right. It’s that time again! Our Room Redo Wanna Play winner for August has been chosen! Even if it is officially September 1st. Better late than never, right? {look for a few more…
