Blue & White Wallpaper for the 1/2 Bath
Between January and March of 2019, we worked on giving our half bathroom a makeover. We painted the walls in Stonington Gray (mixed at 50%), swapped out the boring mirror with a vintage one, changed out the light fixture and faucet, and added a chair rail and picture frame molding. As a part of the […]
slipcover chaise reveal | tutorial & sources
Back in March, I took some unhurried decorative play in the master bedroom. I just felt stuck in this room. The bones were there, but I was having trouble finishing it off. I couldn’t make up my mind on the smaller pieces of furniture, what to hang on the wall, or how to make it […]
“Can I pull it off?”
Disclosure: This post is a sponsored collaboration with Magnolia Pearl. We received a great response from our last collaboration, so we decided to work together again! As always, all opinions and words are my own. I saw a pair of shoes in an e-mail from Magnolia Pearl a few weeks ago and right away, I […]
Tidying the Laundry Room & Bottling Cleaners
A few weeks ago, I was in a cleaning and organizing mood. I am the sort of person who’s in that kind of mood pretty regularly, but this was on another level.

They are already imperfect and there is no pressure to keep them pristine. Well, newly installed […]
a new picture light & styling a buffet
A few of you noticed the new picture light hung above my Manet copy of Berte Morisot and I shared it on my Instagram stories last week. I actually bought the picture light for the cow painting above my fireplace (Eulalie), but running the cord wasn’t going to work. It’s a small shame that there […]
free wallpaper sample books & their uses
A couple of weeks ago, I drove over to the local paint store to pick up an order. They are only serving customers curb-side, so I waited outside as they collected my paint cans. As I was waiting, a pile of wallpaper sample books leaned up against the wall under a sign that read “free” […]
June’s Books of the Week
It’s hard to believe we’re over halfway through the year! Time flies when you’re stuck at home doing projects! I have really missed my regular outings to Barnes & Noble, but I have been ordering newly released and used books online and have pulled out some of my favorite books to share from my stash. […]
