I recently made a little update to the apothecary cabinet…again. 🙂
I had a $25.00 Pottery Barn coupon about to expire (it would be a complete shame to let that happen), so I hopped online to see what I could find and I ended up with this lovely little lantern. [Read more…]
I was visiting a neighbor the other day and she had baked the most amazing bread for us. I have never made bread before, but she swore it was super simple and absolutely foolproof, so I asked for the recipe. I tried it out yesterday and she was so right – it was very simple to do and as far as I can tell, it’s pretty foolproof too. 🙂 [Read more…]
Remember about a month ago when I posted about shopping for a new chair? Or talked about a different layout for the living room? Well, it’s kind of happening. I did not find a chair yet – every time I would see something I liked, I couldn’t commit since I didn’t know exactly what kind of sofa I would have down the road. [Read more…]
The tour continues today with the room that probably sees me the most – the office. I am fortunate to be able to work from home three days a week, and wanted a dedicated space that could accommodate the needs of my job, so we chose to use the smallest of our three bedrooms as a home office.

I have a few spots around the house where I like to periodically change up the dĂ©cor. Sometimes it is a reflection of the seasons, and sometimes it’s in response to a new purchase, but often it is simply the result of an afternoon spent puttering around the house and moving things around.

Like most of the rooms in our house, our kitchen is small. Not only is it small (I don’t even think it is 10’x10’), but it has all the awkwardness typically found in old house kitchens, with a window or doorway on every wall. Not exactly conducive to that desirable kitchen triangle people are always talking about. [Read more…]
I love gallery walls. I love photos and artwork, signs and mirrors, etc. I love all these things individually, but when they hang as a group, I find they often have even more impact and interest.
If you’re ever stumped on what to do with a wall, or feel your space is lacking something special, consider doing a gallery wall. It doesn’t only need to be framed family photos or a collection of your favorite paintings – mix in a favorite sign, quote, or architectural piece. Often times, things that seem a little out of place or insignificant become something special when they’re grouped with other things you love. [Read more…]
The house tour continues today with the living room. This room is probably my favorite in the house. It is cozy and comfortable and just so nice to spend time in. [Read more…]
