A lifestyle blog
Last week when I was sick, I started re-watching the Gossip Girl series on DVD. It helped pass the 4 days I spent in bed. The problem...now I can't stop watching episodes...back-to-back-to-back. It is making me completely unproductive. All I've gotten accomplish today is eaten 2 meals, watched 4 episodes and styled the new little bar area [...]
I try to post something a few times a week. These last 2 weeks have been pretty crazy busy with work and life and everything in between. When I had a few moments, I would sit down to find an inspiration post but just wasn't actually "inspired" by ANYTHING! Now, let me tell you, that's [...]
I follow Domaine Home for inspiration, they post a good mix of home, food and lifestyle and also a good mix of styles, and really the best of the best of different styles. I don't like all the styles posted but when they post something that is my style, it is INCREDIBLE. Case in point, [...]
I love love love this post! I may be mildly obsessed with Chip & Joanna Gaines of Fixer Upper...that's not a secret, right? Their remodeled farmhouse is my dream, every single detail and corner of the home is perfection. So now, I just need to go find a farmhouse to remodel, who's with me? Go [...]
For some reason, I'm obsessed with vacation homes right now! Maybe because it has been so hot out and I'd love nothing more than to be at the beach, everyday. This Mexico vacation home belonging to George Clooney is exactly where I would like to be. If this doesn't make you want to book a [...]
Happy Father's Day to all the fathers and grandfathers I know! And a special shout out to my own dad! You have set the most amazing example for me of strength, support and unconditional love. You work tirelessly to take care of our family, day in and day out. You have raised 3 intelligent, driven and [...]
Summer is on its way and I'm wanting clean and fresh everywhere I look. White on white (a.k.a. summer whites) are everywhere for a crisp & clean décor look. And don't be afraid to mix different shades of white for a shabby chic look too. Head on over to my Pinterest page for more inspiration and enjoy! [...]
I have finally decided to, once and for all, admit something to myself...I am NOT capable of keeping plants alive. (Insert sad face emoji here). Since the holidays, taking down Christmas décor and trying to freshen up the house, I have had 4 different potted plants on my dining room table. I think the longest any [...]
It's official...I'm fully addicted to Fixer Upper. I can't stop watching, and I watch the same episodes over and over. I'm watching an old episode from season 1 as I type! I love the work, ideas and inspiration of Chip and Joanna. And they are so cute and funny together! If you haven't seen it, check it [...]
Ok, ok...so it's not an entire room makeover again...I haven't gotten that far yet. But only because I haven't gathered up the courage to re-tile my shower and bathtub just yet. Be patient...it will happen. This mini-makeover, again, happened by accident. I just can't help myself! I decided just before going back to work that [...]
The air is getting a little crisper with each passing day which means adding a few more layers here and there. When you think trends, you usually think fashion and apparel. But more often than not, fashion trends translate to home décor in a pretty simple way. Just like your wardrobe, when you start with [...]
Todo...we're not in Laguna Beach anymore. Ever since first watching Lauren Conrad on MTV in "The Real OC" and then promptly following her reality TV career to The Hills, I have enjoyed her. Her no-nonsense approach to drama, her innocence and naivety with men and her impeccable sense of style in both fashion and interiors. [...]
This past weekend was so much fun for me! Not only did I get to make a trip to Seattle to see most of my girlfriends from college but I got to do my first room makeover in someone else's home! Now this project didn't start out as a room makeover but it gradually progressed [...]
I'm getting close to finishing my foyer which means it's almost time to start on the living room. To get prepared, I'm sharing some of my all time favorite living room photos for inspiration. I love a neutral color palette (although I am loving the blue & white theme that is trending right now) with [...]
So I am totally obsessed with this couple, mostly because of their reality t.v. show that follows their crazy daily life (he's a real estate developer and motivational speaker, she's a television host, news anchor and fashion critic on E!) and their trials and tribulations as Giuliana overcame breast cancer and their difficulty to have children. They are [...]
My latest home obsession is that of fashion designer Joseph Abboud. Located in Boston, Abboud had admired the old architecture of the tower building on Chestnut Street since he was a boy and took advantage when the building went up for sale. The home is a gorgeous combination of strong and bold neoclassical pieces, beautiful [...]
When we moved into this house and I began to think about decorating, I told myself that I wouldn't have those couple of areas in the house. You know what I'm talking about...the black holes, where things get stored, never to be seen again. Well, for me, that has always been the coat closet. And [...]
