Share a Little Love on Olioboard
I love competition. And I need your help. It’s been on my list for a while to check out Olioboard. It’s an online tool for creating 2D and 3D design boards – a bit like Project Decor, which I also adore (check out my profile here, but promise to come back!). Olioboard has a few…

Choosing Upholstery
Okay, I admit it, I love choosing custom upholstery. Facing that long wall of beautiful swatches as they neatly hang by tiny hangers and subtly whisper their cleanability and price codes, I get a little rush of excitement. Imagining the chair below in a gorgeous damask or a clean, simple stripe makes me happy. If…

The Ultimate Casual Tablecloth
Today’s blog is brought to you by my mother. (Of course, a little voice in my head says, “aren’t they all?”) And it’s true, I have her to thank for so much of my eye for design and color. She says it’s the other way around, but that’s only because she’s humble. So at an…

The $11 Skinny Wreath
We live in a sweet little mid-century ranch (hence our little living room in need of a little coffee table – see previous post). Every holiday season since we moved in, I have silently cursed the tiny space between our front and storm doors. Hang a normal sized wreath and it’s subjected to a good…

Let’s Get Small
Every holiday season, I reconfigure our tiny living room to make way for a tree. And every year, the space left for the coffee table hand crafted by my grandfather is immediately too small. The poor table is too long. It feels awkward and crowded in its new space, ready to strike at unsuspecting shins.…

Making the Bed
Making the Bed. Good morning… playing with style boards on Project Decor and feeling comfort in mountain blues and greys, like wrapping up in a big comfy blanket and holding a nice warm cup of tea. Have a wonderful day!
