Some of you probably read my post on spruce-ups and Beyonce’s single ladies: Put a back on it. This one’s titled: put a spindle on it. Yeah. Okay. Too far. I need to get a life. But that song is totally stuck in my head. Remember this post about our island redo? …and…remember this post…
a big ka-boom of fantabulous fun :: a pure + lovely giveaway!
WOW. The number of entries for this thing was astounding. I know you’re totally skipping this to see who the heck won, but we did want to take a moment to say you guys really keep us forever grateful. We wouldn’t exist without sweet supporters like you … we just wanted to say thank you….
the one where I compare my child to chucky, frank abagnale and cam newton
Malone is officially 16 months old. I’m totally in denial. When it comes down to it, I’m in complete awe of the fact that I have a 5 year old. That’s an entirely different type of awkwardly rambling sentimental subject matter, where if you were to see me in person and bring it up, I…
put a back on it
I know I’ve said this, like, a quadrillion times. But… Put a back on it. Like a red bracelet to a black dress, a piece of furniture can have a second dimension. A subtle addition of interest can be added to that previously ignored piece. It can be paint in a contrasting color. Printed wallpaper….
eye candy and a sneak peek of things to come…
Happy Friday, everyone! Thought I would end this week with a few fabulous redos, and some previews for the upcoming weeks… This first one is from one of my reader-turned-friend-turned-clients. I have their playroom coming up in the next few weeks, and this is just an inspirational preview to what you’re going to see in…
The hottest accessory this season : GUILT.
Rewind to October. It was a hot day on South Beach. 10.10.10 to be exact. I remember, as we sat right across the street from the giant concrete calendar where people kept posing for photos in their cliché “I-was-in-Miami-sometimes-with-other-choice-words-underneath-that-made-me-laugh-even-though-I’m-not-supposed-to”…tees. Jamin and I were enjoying our last day in Miami, soaking it up sans kids. And…
DIY pirate boat + pirate costumes :: ARGH!
SO, I know Halloween was last night. But I decided to take some pics of a boat building process in case any of you are ever interested. I will store these away on my external hard drive, and forget, I am sure. But this time next year when someone says, “you know that pirate ship…
argh, mateys!
We’ve been known to take halloween pretty seriously around here. Even when we only had one child. Us with Aiden (wow this photo makes me feel old) Circa 2006 When I took these photos, I look back and laugh. I was preggers with Malone and had NO clue. It’s hard to believe that Peter Pan…
a salvaged fall tablescape
With thanksgiving coming up, I’ve been kind of enthralled by all the possibilities of a fabulous tablescape. Not necessarily for Thanksgiving, as we always opt to spend that holiday with family somewhere else…but I love the idea of using unexpected materials, and combinations of textures and color…and I’m particularly lured by the prints and fabrics…
