It's no secret that homes and interiors are a heavy facet of my day-to-day life. Not only do I (as a die-hard Cancer and homebody) constantly look for ways to make my home "perfect," but I'm always inside the homes of my clients and inside listings that are currently on the market. I have the ...
Inspired Lately: Styling Shelves, pt. 2
Two years ago (!!!) when I posted part one of our shelf-styling, we still had quite a few things to do in order to make the bookshelves in our den look complete. I'd just begun brainstorming a silver frame collection, grasscloth hadn't even crossed our mind, and I was digging through a wealth of ...
To be Continued…
It doesn't go without notice that I post a whole lot of photos showing these perfect, put-together spaces. I always think of the term "curated" when it comes to do with what one posts on any sort of social media. Whether we're talking about a platform like this one, color-coordinated IG grids, or ...
Keeping Clean; How we Manage to Keep House with Two Giant, Mud-Covered Dogs
A few weeks ago, I posted a photo on my IG stories of one of the cream-colored sofas in our den, covered in muddy paw prints after the doods ran in from outside and jumped onto their furniture (yes, their furniture). I must have received two dozen messages from friends exclaiming, "oh, no!" before ...
Coronado Update: Den Reveal
I've spoken before about the home I grew up in. My grandparents' house was small but well-appointed, with the "formal" living room acting as the space that we used when company came over, and where we often sat for holidays or quiet (read: tv-less) weekends and canasta nights. The den was where ...
Coronado Update: Exterior Reveal, Part 1
When we first stumbled upon our house, she wasn't exactly the ugliest house on the block, but you could tell she'd been through it. There was a Sycamore in the front yard 4 feet through the middle if it was an inch. It's roots had jacked up pieces of the concrete driveway. The front doors and ...
First Week of Spring: A Tabletop
I'm not one to moan and complain about cooler weather. Personally, I'm all for it. I love the cool breezes that make me bundle up in overcoats and enormous scarves. I like knowing it's cold out while I'm inside by a fire, with jammies on and Bourbon in hand. I love the snow. What we get of it, ...
On Windows: Custom Drapes, Shades, Blackouts, Sheers, and Hardware, Oh My!
I have failed in the past when it came to dressing windows.
My grandmother had draperies in her den, living room, and bedroom that had to have been custom- off white linen with pinch pleats and a stationary pulley to open and close. My parents were of the 80's and 90's school of sheer panels ...
Coronado Update: Living Room Reveal
I grew up spending most of my free time in my grandparents' home. It was a tiny little 1940's ranch home with two bedrooms. One of these was my grandma's room (my grandpa had an apartment to himself in the basement), while the other was called the "den." Here were their two recliners, a pull out ...
