Decorating with… Coral!
Continuing the Color Inspiration Series today with a look at one of my favorites, perhaps yours too, the very in vogue shade of coral. It’s been hot this spring and summer in fashion and decor, and is such a happy hue that is part pink part orange. Many people consider coral a feminine shade but…
Dresser, Take Two
I’ve mentioned a few times that we’re redoing the guest room which wears two hats: it also serves as my oldest daughter’s room when she’s home from college (which is right now and through August!) Her closet has some built in drawers and a place to hang clothes but the room needed more storage for…
Weekend Reading
Hi all, what’s up for the weekend? I’m finishing up a final coat of paint on a dresser today and then hoping to take a trip to the coast to feel the sand between my toes tomorrow. How perfect is this dining nook? So sunny, so cheerful, and family friendly, I adore the painted chairs…

DIY: Tongue & Groove Walls
Greetings all and welcome to July! Can you believe half the year is gone already? Sheesh! We had a fun filled weekend, spending Friday night with a group of friends going to a club to have dinner and cocktails and listen to a band. Saturday we stopped by the ‘Days of Wine and Lavender’ event…
Billy in the Bedroom
Billy is so my boyfriend. Billy and me, we got a thing going on. But whenever Billy arrives at my door, I still find he is too ordinary, too plain, unacceptable in his current state. I find it necessary to improve him and refine him so that he is oh so much better. I’m a…
Guest Bedroom Plans + Bench Makeover
It was a busy DIY weekend around here, we finished up the tongue and groove wall in my friend’s dining room on Saturday (which I’ll share next week), assembled and painted a set of bookcases, and I also finished a bench makeover I’ve been meaning to get to for a few weeks. I’m upgrading the…
My Childhood Home
All of this recent house hunting with my sister got me thinking about the home I grew up in as a child. It was a sweet single story brick cottage on 1/3 acre with apple tree and plum trees in the backyard, and a creek across the rear meadow where we’d go exploring or fishing…
Weekend Reading
Happy Friday friends! Yesterday we headed to the local farmer’s market and I bought several bunches of mixed berries and spent the afternoon making preserves – it’s an annual summer ritual that yields jam so good that my family sneaks spoonfuls out of the jars – will post the recipe next week. Here are…

I just couldn’t resist using the word “groovy”. #totaldork So I’m getting ready to start on a new space and it’s great having a friend who enlists my help! This time it’s a dining room and here is my blank canvas. Okay it’s not exactly “blank” right now (quick iphone pic) it’s a catchall…

House Hunting + Virtual Room Makeovers

Best of May
Hello friends, how’s your summer shaping up? I spent the morning going through my linen closet clearing out everything I don’t use anymore. One closet down, plenty more to go in anticipation of a yard sale later this month. I’m taking a break this week from the takeaway series but I’ll bring it back soon…
