Orla Kiely for Target!
So after doing a little research, I’ve realized I’m a little behind on this, but hey – I discovered it all on my own in my March 2009 issue of Elle Decor! Anyway, I’m flipping through, passing the usual super-high-end ads (swooning, but knowing that it could never be), when my eyes catch some beautifully bright, retro patterns on a set of coffee mugs and I notice that...

Domino magazine is down to their last few issues and they’re gone! Here is the press release. You’ll be missed. My favorite shelter mag! They had the most beautiful layouts, most interesting interviews, and the best resources for every day people, in my opinion. I’m glad I’ve saved every single copy, and I’ve been a subscriber from the beginning....
Read More*Real Talk* Creativity Series…
If you’ve been living under a rock and never visited Holly Becker’s blog over at decor8, it really is a great blog for inspiration and some great design finds. She is so heartfelt and honest in her blogging, and I love her new 10 week series called “Real Talk” in which she talks about the creative process and has you do some creative exercises to help you tap into your...

Read More11 More Months Until Christmas!
I miss Christmas. I love my home (we purchased it in July 2008) – and we’ve been working very, very hard on it to make it finished but I think Christmas hid what we had left to do on it! We took Christmas decorations down a few weeks ago and now the house feels too bare. My main living area color scheme consists of medium gray walls, dark brown wood laminate floors and touches of...

Thank you, Martha! My husband, Glenn, and I did an amazing thing this past weekend – we planned ahead! We found some yummy recipes from marthastewart.com and bought everything to make them, along with our old stand-bys (we make a mean Tater Tot Casserole! Let me know if you want that recipe!). All fresh ingredients and our grocery bill was actually pretty reasonable for everything we...
Read MoreMy new favorite website!
I am a wannabe. I admit it. I want to be crafty so bad I can’t see straight! I discovered YouCanMakeThis.com and everything that I have wanted to learn to make is on there and more! Maybe I can finally open my own Etsy shop now, hehe!

I'm an interior designer, but I live in the country. I like it that way. I'm also a firefighter's wife, new mom and a new homeowner and I like that even better. A close second is a pretty and affordable space...and I mean a REALLY affordable space. Because I believe good design can be for EVERYONE!
