DIY Rustic Wood Shelf

September 17, 2014 /
DIY / Upcycled

  When your father has the foresight to save wood from an old farmhouse = pure joy.  When he helps you design a custom shelf for a bathroom install = pure amazing! We knew we wanted to show off the worn wood and incorporate this piece of ribbed glass that we had salvaged from an old hog shed.

Behind The Scenes / Fab Find

Hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day weekend! Did you have extra time to relax and have fun? I did a lot of online shopping this weekend.

World Market is a traditional stop when I’m hoping to find home decor with a…

Design Tips / Inspiration / Upcycled

Adding impact to your home for less… isn’t that always the struggle? We want our home to look like a million bucks, but we sure don’t have a million bucks in our budget to spend on it! I get it – I totally do, and as weird as it probably is coming from an interior designer: I completely respect your desire to make big changes as reasonable as possible. The world of Pinterest and DIY…

August 19, 2014 /
DIY / Fab Find / Inspiration

Can we all agree… fresh flowers are the best! They bring so much life to any vignette or room. You know, I love silk flowers too. Adding greenery and color to a space is so important, and it’s hard to pass up a beautiful flower that never dies. Perhaps that’s why it’s so easy to appreciate the beauty of fresh flowers. I don’t get them all the time, and their beauty is fleeting. My favorite…

The Day I Saved a Green Box…

August 12, 2014 /
Before & After / DIY / Fab Find

    I have “deal-itis”.  Also known as CPUC – “Can’t Pass Up Clearance” [not to be confused with the California Public Utilities Commission – haha, yes, I looked it up]. This is a serious condition. It leads to purchasing things that I absolutely do. not. need. Can anyone relate? Thankfully my husband is a patient man. I think it helps that my shopping sprees are usually $15 shopping sprees, rather than $150 shopping sprees…
