Inside the Armoire
Over the past couple of months I’ve been working on my work office (not to be confused with our home office) for a magazine feature. It’s been so fun moving things around and adding some pops of color to inject a bit more personality into the space. The art director asked me to move the fabric from […]
The Nate Berkus Show
I shared back in January that I had the opportunity to go up to New York City to be a guest on The Nate Berkus Show. Well, the wait is finally over and the show aired (or airs, depending on where you live) today. Here’s the video in case you missed it… I’ve been sitting […]
Meeting Annie
Today was a special day. I attended the ASCP workshop in Leesburg, VA and got to meet Miss ASCP herself, Annie Sloan. Let me give you a bit of the back story. Last year, around this time, I was introduced to Patty Seaman, one of the original ASCP stockists in the US. At that time, […]
Lucketts Eye Candy
On the way back from the Annie Sloan workshop yesterday, I stopped in at Lucketts to pay my rent and check out my space. I really miss that place! I was looking forward to getting my space filled again after working on the book, but then my gallbladder decided it wanted a divorce, so that upended […]

simple spring
This might come as a total shock, but I don’t usually decorate for the seasons. I decorate for Christmas, I’ll put out a few pumpkins during the fall, but otherwise I keep things pretty neutral seasonally. I would rather makeover a dresser than make a wreath for the front door. I decided, though, I would […]
pretty little dresses
I go through different phases when it comes to shopping antiques. There are periods when I am digging through every linen rack and pile in sight and other times when I’m scouring shelves for silver. In one of those phases, just about any antique baby item caught my eye. That phase was in my pre-baby years and that […]
