There's an inspirational quote making it's rounds on Instagram that says you should be with someone who gives you the same feeling as when you see your food coming in a resturant. I know that there are people that exsist that don't get that excited over food, but I'm not one of them. ...
Starburst
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 ...

The Pinterest-Perfect Home
Here's the thing: I love Pinterest. The cyber idea-board of our dreams allows us to search for the best melon salad recipe out there. It'll then lead us to the original souce (when available) of said salad. Then, because it tracks your searches and movements, Pinterest will then ...
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, ...
