Hello.
I have a problem. I start a blog post, but don’t finish it. I find 1 good inspiration image, then I get stuck. My draft list is getting longer and longer on here. I try to squeeze a post into the free moments that I have, but it’s not enough time. I have a ton of photos on my camera that never make it to my computer. And then I have 5 client projects I’m working...
Read MoreGo ahead, write on the walls
Cool product alert. Have you wondered how to actually install a look like this? Is it a big board? Is it on a roll (like wallpaper?)? Is it….hmmm… {Image via Young House Love} As you probably know, I’m working on a project that involves a local daycare playroom. How fun, right? Right. It’s been a great learning experience for me, and I am thankful for such...

In case you’ve been living under a rock and don’t read Young House Love (or follow them on Twitter or Facebook) then you might have missed their post on the FABULOUS website/blog by the name of Knock Off Wood: How to Build Knock-Out Knock-Off Furniture. Hey…there might be one or two of you that are coming to my little ‘ol website and haven’t browsed theirs...
Read MoreI Love Me A Painted Ceiling…
Check out this lovely set of photos from the Southern California home of Kristan Cunningham (yes, the host of HTGV’s Design on a Dime!). Most of the walls in their rental are white, but they’ve painted most of the ceilings a dark charcoal gray. And their ceilings really don’t look that high, which is a nice example of how dark ceilings really don’t make a room look...
Read More{Real Rooms} Reese’s Nursery
I am so excited to share an adorable little nursery project with you today, not because I designed it (because I didn’t – I wish I could take credit for it!), or not only because it is darling, or hand-crafted with special little details, but because it is the bedroom of a sweet little girl whose mama is an old friend of mine! And as you can see a very artistic and creative friend...
Read MoreTiny Hot Cocoa Packets
I’m probably going to be regurgitating a lot of crafty finds that I come across online for you all over the next few days and/or weeks…I’m very busy with a couple of new clients (woo hoo!) and with getting ready for the Christmas fairs around here, so I’m looking for inspiration like crazy! Plus with “the economy how it is” (aren’t you sick of that...
Read MoreEmbroidery Hoop-La
Are you a stitcher? Embroidery is becoming very popular and I’ve been noticing it more and more in home decor (and not just on throw pillows!). Have you noticed this trend as much as I have? Hanging an embroidery hoop is an easy way to fill an awkward space, and it is a great way to add some personalization to your decor. I think the idea is just absolutely adorable, inexpensive to...
Read More{DIY} Septic Tank Box: Part 1
Yep. That’s what we started to build last weekend. When you live in Likely you have your own well for your water and your own septic tank. Ours is right there in our back yard, and it’s really not buried that deep. As you can see from the photos I took this weekend, we have two green tank lids that stick up right out of the dirt. They’re made of plastic and plastic +...
Read MoreHe Says/She Says Poll Results
Good morning, everyone! How was your weekend? Mine was great! Just too short…I cleaned my office (aahhh – that is a big sigh of relief), made a few Christmas cards and helped Glenn build the frame around a box that is protecting our septic tank in the backyard. Gross. Well, the box isn’t gross, just the thought of a big tank of poo that is right underneath our feet in our...
Read MoreMac Lover
I love my little white MacBook. It’s 3 years old now, which is probably ancient in computer years, but I’m hoping that I can squeeze a few more years out of it. I’m a self-taught PC convert, and I love all of the little details that Macs offer, and make my life a lot easier! You can see my “Dock” below, and some of the most frequently used programs that I...
Read MoreAbout Me
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!
