We sold our house! Here’s a little bit about the emotions of selling a home. We lived in the house for six years. To some that may not seem long at all and to others that may seem like forever. To think we celebrated 24 birthdays, five Christmases and Thanksgivings, six first days of schools,…

Making a mimosa wreath is probably the easiest wreath you could make. It takes very little time and requires very few supplies. The Supplies You Will Need to Make a Wreath…
I wonder if we took a poll, how many would say their favorite season is fall? There’s so much to love about the fall from the colors to the cozyness of cooking, baking and being home more. I think that’s why we all rush out to buy mums and pumpkins so early. We just can’t…
Back again on this beautiful Sunday to share my favorite finds from the week along with my friends Cindy and Mary Ann. Today I’m sharing a podcast, a linen shirt I’ve been wearing from the GAP, and removable wallpaper that we will be installing at Madeline’s new apartment, plus a few other favorites! Decorating Tips…
Design and create an attic hangout and guest space in your home. A few years ago, I participated in the One Room Challenge contest. For those of you not familiar with the One Room Room Challenge, it’s a project that was started by Linda Weinstein back in 2011 as a way of staying focused on…
Today, I am sharing what I buy at Wayfair because it’s Way Day! And, of course, that means Wayfair’s already good prices are even lower. I looked around my house and realized that I have quite a few things that I love and are available at Wayfair. Tall Bookcase on Wheels We bought these to…
Our new porch is quite a bit bigger than our last one. We actually have room for a real seating area. We could bring out a table and host a dinner party with a few minor adjustments. I worked with Garnet Hill to create a porch that feels like an extension of the house during…
How to easily refurbish and restore rattan or wicker furniture. I love rattan and wicker furniture, and I have some pieces both inside and outside. There’s a rustic charm to it that combines both comfort and design. But over time, it begins to fade and show signs of wear and tear – especially if left outside. I…
We made these savory mini quiches with roasted potatoes, bacon, and cheese for a weekday brunch with friends. I thought I would share the recipe for Sunday favorites since they can be made the day before. What’s better than having a few friends over midweek? But to take the stress out of mid-week entertaining, make…
Two creative ways to gift paperwhites this year! Paperwhite kits are great hostess gifts, takeaway gifts at your next dinner party, gifts for school teachers, or drop off to neighbors the week between Thanksgiving and the first of December. Or anytime; they are great for winter months. I especially like to give them around Christmas and the holidays. They are such lovely flowers. How long…
We are mixing old and new for a traditional Christmas this year. How are you decorating for the holidays this year? I’m joining a few friends to share snippets of our holiday decor. Where do you start…decorating? If you said the front door, I’m right there with you! This year, we started with our already…
I’ve been making twig stars for a few years, so I’m not sure why it took me until this year to make a giant stick star to display outdoors. It’s the same idea as making smaller twig stars that I use on packages, as ornaments, or as garlands, but you’ll need more than hot glue…
