Almost inevitably, when I see a home that’s been meticulously staged, photographed well, and quickly sold, somewhere inside is a funky starburst mirror. In no way do I believe that these statement-making pieces have a sort of home-selling magic, but I do find that they offer a little taste of ...
In the Navy
Inevitably, the grass is always greener. Those with wavy hair wish it were straight, while those with straight would love a week without their curling iron. Those living in a cooler climate wish for warm weather, while those with humidity crave a dry heat... Its never ending. We want what we ...
Between the Sheets
I've never been one to spend a ridiculous amount of money on bedding. Even now, my linen closet holds only three sets of sheets, all of them clocking in at under $100 (for a King set!!). However, I've slowly been coming around to the idea of "building" your bedding collection; items like ...

You may remember, late last year, my lamenting over not having a completely finished bedroom due to the lack of a headboard or bed. Well, friends, that has all changed!

Our Kitchen
It's the heart of the home, the gathering place. It's the steady and only sometimes chaotic muscle that allows us to churn out meals, morning coffee. It's where we sit to read the paper, to tune in to NPR or listen to Yo-Yo Ma over Sunday waffles. It's our kitchen, and its finally, ...
Patio Weather
For months- MONTHS!- I've been going on and on about wanting to get the back yard finished. I wanted to paint the planters, touch up the paint on the furniture, lay the sod, and find flowers that would not only look pretty but could serve as a centerpiece on a fun backyard lunch ...
