Need a unique, last minute gift idea for that special child (or maybe even random third stepchild twice removed who will be showing up on Christmas morning with Cousin Eddie) in your life? I made these puppies this afternoon, as a…
a play space reveal
I’m really excited about this room: A play space I helped a friend of mine redo. Remember this post? This reveal was a long time coming…but good things come to those who wait. {as my mom would say} I was…
framin’ crazy
I had this little spot in my house that’s been bothering me for the past two years. {No judging. We all have em.} And as I’ve mentioned (like twenty times now) we had our family portraits taken this last August….
merry christmas {card 2010}
It’s a little early for christmas card shareage. Or is it? I was just so excited to share ours…I’ve probably ruined the “surprise” for those of you who are getting it in the mail. I know you’re devastated. Last year…
simple spruce-ups in the suburbs :: take ’em down!
This week’s Simple Spruce-up is quite simple. Many of you may remember our first ever in this series. If you haven’t read it yet, go back and have a look. Promise I’ll wait. I provided that link, because I want…
still got it.
I turned 31 yesterday. I feel as though I should be saying 21. But no. It’s 31. Every year, I take a moment to think on where I am, how I’ve grown as a person, and other important reflective whatnots….
simple spruce-ups in the suburbs :: bustin out the christmas goods
SO, we were a little overdue for a new simple spruce-up in the suburbs. It seemed only fitting that we did it on Christmas decorating, since I’m sure that’s what many of you will be doing over the next few…
Christmas Mantel : a DIY advent garland
I love decorating. {Duh.} And Christmas is fun and everything, but it can be a bit of a two sided coin, if I’m really honest. {more on that mystery that is christmas decorating coming this week…so sit tight} Sometimes, the…
thanksgiving fun
Wow. Has it really been 27 days since I posted some photos of my chilins? For shame. I guess we’ve just been crazy around here, with projects, redos, work, and other what nots. I hope you all had a fantabulous…
just a few…
In other news: Some of our latest products soon to be listed: definitely one of my faves ever…It’s our manly distressed pinstripe frame. {can you tell I haven’t thought of an official title yet?} Hope you all are having…
DIY modpodge : my own quirky take on things
Whenever I get the Pottery Barn Kids catalog in the mail, (or any catalog for that matter) I’m always taking mental note of things, and then filing them away for later. I feel like these little signs have been cropping…
thanksgiving place cards
Remember this post? I thought that salvaged fall tablescape could use some place cards. I left them simple, with space for you to cut a hole in the top (a cross shaped slit will do with an exacto) and slide…
storage solutions and a stackable roundup
Around this time of year, I tend to be a little bit of a grinch. I love Christmas. I just think that sometimes we tend to lose sight of the reason for the season (for lack of a better, non-rhyme-able…
spiderman – 1, dapper – 0
This morning, I had been running around like a chicken with my head cut off (as usual) but I took a little extra time to dole out the outfits for the kiddies, as they were on their way to preschool….
spindle spruceups
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
