When we did some remodeling of our home more than 4 years ago, I ran out of steam and cash.  I was over making any decisions and needed to take a break.  Since then I’ve been looking for a rug and couch for my living room.  I am loving these basic two designs, but can’t […]

I’m in NYC this week for a Photography + Food Styling workshop with the inspirational Béa Peltre of La Tartine Gourmande. I am smitten with her photography and am beyond thrilled to learn from her. Not to mention how happy it makes me to be in NYC. I am one grateful blogger. A few links […]

Obsession // Blue Sofa

August 14, 2013

I have had a growing obsession this past year for blue velvet.  Specifically blue velvet on a sofa.  There is just something so hippie, cool, vintage to me, but still modern, clean, + fresh.  I may reupholster my existing couch or look for a hand-me down to give fresh new life too.  Either way, at […]

Perhaps this post should be titled “Do It Now my friends!”  Before the craziness that is the beginning of every school year.  Take a couple of hours to organize last year’s school work, archive those special pieces, and set up a system that you can work with this school year before the paper starts streaming […]

Alt SF Recap

Alt SF 2013

Last week I attended the Alt Summit in San Francisco.  I was thrilled and apprehensive to say the least. I am a 40+ year old blogger going into a conference I was sure would be dominated by 20 somethings, I had new business cards that I was sure would not compete, and I was convinced […]

I keep thinking I want to write a post on confessions of a blogger.  I have accumulated quite a few actually. Today’s is a crush.  A really BIG crush.  A girl crush.  It’s borderline stalking.  And the unknowing victim is Emily Henderson.  I love her interior design style.  It makes me so happy.  Equal parts […]

On my way to Alt SF this afternoon and I can’t express how excited {even nervous} I am to be attending the AltSummit conference in San Francisco this week.  I have “attended” several online workshops hosted by Alt, but have not been to a real blogger conference since starting this little blog a year ago.

Happy summer feet my friends.  Just a quick hello while on vacation.  I’m loving these Superga sneakers this summer.  So many cool colors to choose from I can’t decide.  How about that kelly green or any of those cool blues.  I mean, if I’m ok wearing pink ballet flats, why not add these fun punches of […]

It’s been a growing thing, my love for Etsy.  Why, one could find an artist or DIYer to create just about anything you could dream up and it’s likely already being sold on Etsy.  I first heard about Etsy, from my cousin Kate many many years ago when she had a shop for her beautiful […]

Ok friends, it’s that time of year again.  The school year is winding down and the kids’ artwork and school work is comin’ home.  What’s your plan going to be?  Is this the summer you tackle the mountains?  Is this the year you stop feeling guilty for tossing some {most} of it in the recycling […]
