** Love + Work: How to Find What You Love, Love What You Do, and Do It for the Rest of Your Life by Marcus Buckingham: This is one I read at the tail end of our vacation, and can't really remember. There were a couple of business books like this last year. I'll re-read soon, promise.

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, ...
17
There it is, folks... We've entered into the date-iversary- or as we call them, first-iversary- years that don't seem to matter as much, which is why this post is 18 days late (oops). There's no big celebration of a landmark year (our Silver!!), or a sweet sixteen. We're just floating at ...
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 ...
The Story of the Buddha
You may have noticed in the reveal of our entryway that there was a cute little Buddha hanging out by our family photos.
My dad was a child of the 50's and 60's, turning 18 slap in the middle of the Vietnam War. He was drafted after high school, and took off to Fort Benning, Georgia, then to ...
Coronado Update: Entry Reveal
Coming to a home like this one- a large center-hall Colonial, built in the mid-60's- from a chic and slender townhouse was not without a few head-scratching moments of "how do we make this work?" One of the biggest spaces that just didn't seem conducive to our lives was the entry. Dominated on one ...
In the Bag
Over the last couple of months, my office has been in the process of a move. We were out of our old space on the 2nd of December, and as of today, still haven't moved completely into our new (and fabulous!) space. For the last several weeks, then, my entire office has been crammed into my car and ...
Second and Third Quarter Reads
My apologies, everyone, for slacking in so many ways on this blog lately. I have a post ready to go about where I've been when not here, with you, but now isn't the time. Give me a week or so. For now, a little catch up on last year's books. I'm tackling the second and third quarters today, and ...
