I couldn’t resist sharing the hilarious site posted on Young House Lovetoday. I love how Catalog Living takes images out of home decor catalogs that I have absolutely drooled over and presents them in such a hilarious way. Such a great reminder that if everyone’s house really looked like it was pulled from the pages of [...]

Technical Difficulties and a Link Totally Unrelated to Decorating

Please excuse my lack of posts lately- the power cord for our laptop is broken, and we’ve been without computer access for a few days. We have a new cord on order, but in the meantime we’ll have to revert to our primitive way of life BG (Before Google). Since I can’t upload any pictures [...]

As an end-of-year gift, one of my sweet students gave me a gift card to Target. Of course I started envisioning all of the fun clothes, shoes, and home decor goodness that could be mine. (Ok, the gift card was only for $10.) Of all the things that I could’ve bought, what did I choose? [...]
Goldilocks and the Three Sofas

You may remember a couple of months ago when I mentioned that we were selling our old blue sectional. Even though I liked the old sofa, we purchased it on Craigslist a couple of years ago and there were a few stains and tears that I wasn’t too fond of. Also, the more I hone [...]

Guest Room: Things I’d Like to Add

So remember when I said I would be back “tomorrow” to share the plans that I have for finishing the guest room? I seemed to have forgotten that summer is NOT the time for sticking to a schedule. Friday morning ended up being pretty busy as I scrambled around getting things together for a girls [...]

I know that I said I would post pictures of the guest room yesterday, but my sweet husband surprised me by taking me on a whirlwind roadtrip. We had a great time, but I’ll share details later. Today, I’m going to finish what I started. For this room, I knew that I wanted a light, [...]
Gussying up the Guest Room- It’s all About the Benjamin

This past Easter, my dad generously gave me $90 to use on fun housey stuff. When I invited him over to see the cabinetI had found for the guest room, he laughed and told me that I could probably furnish the whole room with my Easter money. Challenge accepted. Obviously, the biggest obstacle to tackle [...]

As I mentioned in the last post, one of my favorite things about the guest room is the wonderful amount of natural light it gets. To highlight that feature, I wanted to keep things light, airy, and relaxing for our guests. To choose a paint color for this room, I used a top-secret, fancy shmancy decorating [...]

Recently, we’ve been doing some work on our guest room. It was the last room in the house that we had to paint, so seeing it come together is really exciting. Compared to the rest of the house, it was also the room that required the least amount of work. During the renovation process, both [...]
