Hello and happy Friday! There’s not much on our agenda this weekend other than prepping for a birthday party and of course the Superbowl. I’m also working on some painterly fabric prints for spring, I can’t wait to share them with you in a few months. Here’s the roundup of the week’s favorite links… A…
I’ve been out of it for a couple days, I finally had my Lasik eye surgery (had to delay my original appointment) and it wiped me out for 48 hours but wow, it’s amazing that I can seeeeeee! I see mountains and leaves and birds and details I couldn’t see before without glasses or contacts,…
Do you ever look at a space and love it but feel overwhelmed in trying to recreate it? Often it’s the designers mix of pattern and color but there is one way to simplify the process and that’s with monochromatic decor. A medley of color is wonderful, but so is tone on tone or single…
Every two months I partner with Better Homes and Gardens products for Walmart. Since January is all about a fresh start, it was the perfect opportunity to give the laundry room at the Las Vegas house a refreshed look for the new year. The makeover took only a few days, it was simple and budget…
Last week marked the six month date of when we started remodeling the house we bought in Las Vegas, looking back we’ve accomplished a lot given it’s been a ‘back and forth across state lines’ process but we’ve loved every minute! From the beginning, we’ve approached this renovation as a full overhaul since the home…
Hello and happy weekend! I spent my entire day cleaning and organizing at the fixer house here in Las Vegas before leaving town, and also finishing up a few projects, I’ll share a progress report next week. I’m excited to get home and relax after a week of painting, researching, and running around. The playoffs…
Welcome back to a new year and a brand new week! First I must say “Yay for the return of Downton Abbey!” I’ve ignored all spoilers and enjoyed the beginning of Season 5 last night with a cup of tea as a Sunday evening January tradition! I thought I’d kick off the year with one…
I said farewell to my family today, they’re driving home to California while I stay here in Las Vegas for another week awaiting our kitchen cabinet delivery and finishing up other projects in the master bathroom and laundry room. In my spare time I’ll be shopping for tile for the kitchen backsplash, much to do…
Christmas week hellos everyone! I’m taking the rest of the week off from blogging to enjoy the family fun and games here in Las Vegas. Opportunities are so few for me to see my cousins and siblings and my nieces and nephews since we all live in separate parts of the country. Our tree is…
Ten weeks of planning, building and design, and our work is complete! I wrote about the Work Clothes Closet project back in October, since then we’ve spent dozens of hours on this project to benefit our local Committee on the Shelterless (COTS). I’m proud to say that with a team of volunteers, donors, and brands…
Design trends… we love to call them out, cheer them on, and even criticize them. I started a series a few years ago inviting different bloggers and designers to weigh in on what they thought about the design trends for that year and it’s always a great conversation. This year there are four new voices:…
*This post brought to you in partnership with Delta Shower Doors. We’re making our way room by room through the Las Vegas fixer remodeling as we go which I’ve been blogging about since summer. Last week another DIY project we took on while we were in town was replacing the shower door in the downstairs…
I wanted to share one more project I finished recently before going into full holiday decorating mode. :) In Las Vegas we’re furnishing the master bedroom with a bed, end tables, window treatments, and also a dresser we inherited from Matt’s grandparents. We hauled the dresser all the way to Las Vegas over the summer…
