What do you think?? Considering we’re renters and I can’t do any major changes aside from paint I think we pulled off a pretty cozy and memorable room. Soph seems to be a happy client, she says looking up at the butterflies helps her have good dreams. I’m not so sure it’s that magical […]

A place for the mud.
I’ve never been very good at sending thank you notes. Ok, that’s putting it generously. I SUCK at it. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a very grateful person. Just not so good at picking up the phone, sending a thank you card or responding to kind emails/comments in a timely manner. I have been so […]
DIY Dip Dyed Ombre Window Panel Curtains
It’s funny that in yesterday’s post I had found those teal dip dyed curtains because a few months ago I actually made some myself for my home office! I had stashed away the tutorial because back in April I submitted it in hopes a certain publication would pick it up but alas, it’s now officially […]
girl’s room Makeover Part 1: Inspiration!
I’m SO excited for this room makeover! For months I’ve been dreaming about it. Literally. When I can’t sleep at night I decorate in my head. I’ll visualize rearranging furniture or color schemes. Does anyone else do this? After one particularly good ‘session’ I sketched out how I envision Sam’s room makeover to go… If […]
Succ it.
I’m kind of obsessed with decorative succulents…(ceramic pig planter) From my experience as long as you get a container that has surrounding glass the collected moisture keeps them alive. I give mine a bit of water now & then but honestly they’re hard as heck to kill. I bought my plants from Lowe’s & a […]
Home Office makeover
You need to prepare yourself for these before photos. I also probably shouldn’t tell you that we lived in our house for FIVE years with the den like this. Oops. It was kind of the bastard stepchild of our home. But now…now, it just might be my favorite room in the house. Here is the […]
DIY Colored Mats
I’ve been seeing colored mats allover the home decor blogs lately & I just love them. Since I’m trying to gradually change the color scheme of my livingroom I thought this would be a great place to start. I used mats that were already in my frames & cheapie crafts paints that I mixed until […]
Sunshine Decorating
This is a before picture of the entry from our garage door…bleh, I know.I do love the pics of newborn Samster but I’ve noticed that I tend to go overboard in the pictures department. I mean, yeah, she is just about the cutest little mammal on earth but it can be a bit cluttering to […]
Extreme Makeover: Samster Edition (progress!)
Ok, I’m happy to come out from my sleep training hole and announce that we had progress. Not perfection, but totally tolerable, non-misery, progress. Unfortunetely, sleep training is now coinciding with teething. But at least once we realized the problem I was able to get Samster some infant tylenol before bed and that definitely helped! […]
