I have a thing for numbers in home decor. I am instantly drawn to them. Dressers with numbers on drawers, stools with painted numbers or baskets with numbers. There is something about this small detail that I think adds a lot of personality and a sort of vintage flair. Every time my Pottery Barn catalog [...]
Our Brand Spankin’ New Moen Faucet
March 26, 2013 By 15 Comments
This post brought to you by Moen, Incorporated. All opinions are 100% mine. Once upon a time I was 24. We bought our first house and within months of owning it we had the kitchen gutted and a wall knocked down (you can see more kitchen before and afters here). Ahh…to be young and dumb. [...]

My life is moving faster then I can write about it. We have been crazy busy and it just keeps going all the way up to d-day. This weekend we rearranged the living room, took a mini road trip to Ikea and I co-hosted a baby shower for my twin brother and his wife. I [...]
Spring Mantle With Nest Specimen Art
February 27, 2013 By 14 Comments
Yay! It’s spring! Okay, not really. We have a fresh 7-9 inches of snow outside and the ten day forecast doesn’t even hit 40 degrees. In my head: December, January & February are winter, but that is it. After that, I am all about spring. Four seasons, 12 months means each season only gets three [...]

Stenciled No Sew Faux Roman Shade
February 5, 2013 By 18 Comments
Not to long ago I stenciled drapes for my living room using Cutting Edge Stencils Nadya Damask Stencil. I intended on doing something for the dining room, but wasn’t sure what. Mostly, I was just too lazy to get around to doing anything. It bothered me everyday. There was no pattern in my dining room, [...]
DIY Watercolor Shelf Vignette

This weekend Quinn and I sat down to play with watercolors. You know good old classic Crayola watercolor paints and a Crayola paper pad suitable for watercolors. See my coffee cup? I cannot tell you how many times I almost dipped my paint brush into my coffee. My lovely painting is the one with the [...]
