We inherited my parents French, dining room table when we bought the house and it’s one of my favorite pieces. The natural wood and curvature fit perfectly into our formal dining room despite being over 20 years old. They don’t make furniture like this any longer. Along with it, we inherited the formal dining chairs which we repaired and reupholstered as well.
Read MoreI’m all about a refresh when I can. Most of our furniture and decor ranges from 8-10 years old. No need for a remodel but sometimes I get the urge to give a corner a bit of a facelift. A fresh coat of paint or some throw pillows make a world of a difference.
Read MoreThe final installment of our master bedroom remodel is here. In case you missed it, read part I and part II. As you can imagine, these posts are huge labors of love hence the delay in rolling them out quickly. The last chapter of this book is entirely focused on my closet. You see, my husband had the brilliant idea that because I have so much “stuff” that I should utilize an under utilized sitting room in our bedroom. Let me be clear that I never asked for it and my husband is also a genius. Also code for: he really wanted to kick me out of the closet!

It didn't know what it wanted to be other than vanilla walls and a really bad paint job coupled with horrible blue carpet with stains from the kids and muddy feet. It was slightly maddening but it wasn't a priority...until now.
Read MoreThis post is coming at you late for a number of reasons - two of which happen to be: 1. I drank a bottle of wine last night (oops! - summer, it's your fault) and 2. this week is off to a nutty start. I feel like everyone just returned from Memorial Day and needs everything...NOW!
Read MoreGettin' real with ya folks. Today you're going to see a bunch of "before's." We're nearing the end of our master bedroom renovation so I thought I would give you an update. It's been ages since we took on a huge project. And for good reason...it's a mess and this fashionista can't stand disorder.
Read MoreThe Money Pit Series is back! This round is all about my baby turned big girl. Lola finally kicked her crib to the curb and upgraded to this bright, whimsical bed that our entire family just adores.
We now gravitate to her room because of the warmth her room evokes. It's amazing what a bed does for a little girl. Lola is so proud of her room that she actually wanders upstairs when no one is noticing just to sit and read books. Something that really warms a parent's heart, I tell ya.
