I loved reading all of your comments on your top dining table picks! For those of you that picked out the Lucia as the second choice to the Dakota you were thinking just like me, and here she is! I was hesitant at first to go for a round table, (I loved our big rectangular […]
Now that I have started to get the living room to a place that looks like someone actually lives there, I turned my attention to the dining room. While I was searching for a dining table, I came across so many great options and it was tough to make a decision. Here, I narrowed it […]
Here’s a few more shots from our trip. My sister lives in a small town in Wyoming so after flying into Colorado, we had a 5 hour road trip ahead of us. The open road, the distant horizon and the change of scenery was a welcomed adventure that also made for a pretty great Halloween, made […]
This morning I’m recovering from our evening flight and travel day yesterday coming back from Wyoming. We really had the best time with my sister and her husband (and two adorable kids). Watching a 3 year old trick-or-treat has to be one of the cutest things to witness. We carved pumpkins, hiked to waterfalls, drove […]
I’m packing my bags again… this time for Wyoming! My sister lives there with her family so I am heading over for a little wild west adventure but mostly to meet my new nephew, and snuggle that little peanut. It has already snowed a few times at their house so I am bringing along some […]
Look what came back from the framers! Our very first piece of art hanging up in the new house and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out (especially with how it looks with that rug). As you may remember, I dropped my new Sharon Montrose print off at Michael’s before even getting a […]
After recovering from quite the epic Halloween party, (complete with fire dancers!) I peeled off my fancy eyelashes and out of my mermaid costume to get back to work on the house this weekend. While running errands I saw this old Ford truck that was the best color, I totally have a thing for this peachy/coral […]
We’ve been getting a lot of help with this renovation by hiring subcontractors, but since my parents came to help out recently, Rupe and I took a couple days off of work and we all went full speed ahead on the kitchen. Literally everything AND the kitchen sink went out the door and we started […]
Dip dyed, tie dyed, or shibori, no matter the process, I am loving the results. 1: iPhone case by Julia Kostreva // 2: Tie Dyed Dress by Blu Moon // 3: Shibori pillow by Rebecca Atwood
The ladies over at A Beautiful Mess invited me to contribute on their site with a few DIYs. With a blank slate for a house I figured I would have more then enough projects to go around so I’m happy to be able to share a few over there in the coming months. First up, […]
Saturday we celebrated our friend Audrey’s birthday with an outdoor movie night in her backyard. We all got cozy under blankets and watched Breakfast at Tiffany’s while munching on Belgium waffles and mimosas. It was a pretty perfect night. Sunday we worked some more on the house and took a long stroll by the water, […]
Morocco is at the top of my list of places to see and this mini guide almost cured the serious case of wanderlust I’ve got going on right now. This fashion show is straight out of a dream. An instagram feed to make your mouth water. I literally gasped when I came across the work […]
The guys finished off the new opening from the living room to the family room and just in time to paint! (remember how it looked before, much improved.) Ahhh white paint. It makes everything look better (you can still see that yellow mocking me from the hallway but don’t worry I will fix him soon). I […]
When our picnic baskets and serving boards get into the hands of the 100 layer cake ladies you know it’s going to be good, especially when Annie McElwain is behind the camera. I died over the entire shoot and we were tickled to see our pieces being enjoyed by Jillian and her beautiful family. See all of […]
Remember the Flying Flamingo from my color palette inspiration? Well I got the print!! and I went big… 30″ x 40″ big, to be exact. I took it straight to Michaels where they do custom archival framing. I was a little scared to pass off my new treasured Sharon Montrose print to someone else, but […]
This weekend a friend asked me to go kitten shopping with her and of course while we were at the Much Love mobile rescue tents (where I adopted both Pikku and Cracker) I found my way over to the dogs and fell helplessly in love with these two, Fiddle & Banjo. I sat and snuggled […]
