So fun!! Loved seeing this on the news stand this week! (I hinted about it ages ago...) Last Thursday I was sitting in the salon chair of the fabulous Tera Stephens. And she happened to say "Hey, I saw the Halloween party article in Yum for Kids magazine. Did you know it was out? So fun to see you and your kiddos having so much fun." The record screeched to...
So you saw Piper's Room (though a week after showing you, I got the itch to rearrange...there will be another post soon...). This is Addie & Hay's room. I wish I had taken photos when it was just Addie's Nursery. Actually, I'm sure I did, it's just they would have been taken prior to my writing this blog, therefore WHO KNOWS where they are.... The thing to know is that...
I started the Home Tour with Piper's Room. Today I thought I would show you part of the Living Room/Front Room/Everything Room. The shelves. But before I can really address the shelves, I need to show you where this side of the room started and where it is now. It started as a REALLY small front room. We only intended to paint and carpet in the beginning. But we had...
Every now and then I get a phone call or email asking me if I can help with some design staging ~ parties, rooms, etc. It's definitely something I love to do and is very much my past life. So when I can find a way to squeeze a project or two in, I do! I love the challenge! This past October was one of those times. Our home had...
Part of loving interior design is about being open to seeing things you wouldn't normally, and then falling in love with the design. In fact it shocks me how often I see something so simple and so perfectly easy, and yet it *never* crossed my mind. I have often encouraged people to use a curtain rod mounted on the ceiling for things like hanging extra long shower curtains, or a...
I don't even know HOW it can be Valentines Day in a week! This year is FLYING by so fast I can't even say I'm barely keeping up...I'm not keeping up AT.ALL. I wonder if my kids will care if I serve their Valentine pancakes on their Santa plates? I'm pretty sure I have not put them away yet....and I know there aren't any heart plates in the cupboard! Maybe...
Oh, my, my...my my, my...my my, my... How do I love this book? Let me count the ways! My youngest sister turned me onto Pattern, by Orly Kiely and I have been in love with it since it arrived. I actually gave it to a girlfriend for her birthday this morning (My little sis is so sad to read that right now.). As I lifted if from my desk, it...
(Image: Juliska) To know me, is to know my love for Juliska Tabletop and Glassware. Honestly, to walk by it everyday, it just makes me want to throw a party! Last year I wrote a little post (a long one...) showing you some of my all time favorite Juliska things. And this year I've got a few more to show you. We use the Juliska "Berry & Thread" pattern as...
I can't even write a post today, I'm so excited about Lonny Magazine introducing their new "Kids' Rooms" section on their site. HELLO!!! Can we all say "amazing"?? Say it with me, 1, 2, 3..... AMAZING!!! I was a huge fan of Domino Magazine...I adore Lonny Magazine....and we of course all know that I'm a huge advocate that having kids does not mean you need to lose your style. Please...
So it's just shy of 100 degrees around our house right now. In fact it was 90 IN OUR HOUSE last night!! We were all completely melting, but I gotta hand it to Piper...she helped the whole fam damily out. Normally she goes down like a champ by 7:15... But not last night. Every time I tried to get her down, poor thing just kept crying. She was so hot....
