My boys have been asking for a plant in their room. Seeing as how things can get rowdy in there on a regular basis, I’m thinking a hanging plant would fare best. I came across this brass himmeli hanging planter on etsy. Isn’t the design perfection at its simplest? The modern style is a nod [...]

Fade to White

On May 20, 2013 By

I’ve been itching to repaint the master bathroom. We painted it Benjamin Moore’s Tapestry Beige before we moved in. Don’t get me wrong. I love Tapestry Beige.

On May 17, 2013 By

Friday seems like a good day to be spontaneous and step off the beaten path. I’m going to try sharing five things on Fridays. They might be five things I do every day, five things I would buy if I won the lottery, five things every stylish house should have, five things in my wardrobe, [...]

We Have Grass!

On May 7, 2013 By

This past October we excavated the yard {it previously sloped towards the house} and had the uneven front walk {tripping hazard!} removed and replaced. Then there was mud everywhere. Outside and inside the house. One of our neighbors is a retired landscaper and his yard is immaculate. On our family walks, HH will stop and [...]
