black glittered pumpkins & more

Today in the studio, Kriste and I worked creating two very different Halloween/fall tables. In the one I’m showing today, we went with a black/orange/spooky classic Halloween theme. Neither of us are big on decorating for Halloween, but this was so much fun to put together and we both love how it turned out. We […]
joss & main #holidayhostess event!

I know it’s not even Halloween, yet, but it’s about time to start thinking about the holidays and the parties, guests and decorating that comes along with it! I’ve partnered with Joss & Main to kick off their Holiday Hostess events that will be running over the next few weeks. It’s a great lineup of […]
bright white ceiling & pearly white walls

Today the boys are off school for the Columbus Day holiday. Three day weekends like these always catch me by surprise, but we always find a way to just roll with it. Jeff was out for the day, so it was just me and the boys. We took this day to hang out in our […]

furniture feature friday | favorites & link party
My brain is totally fried tonight! I did the photo shoot today and it was intense. I know that sounds silly, but we had only a few hours to style and shoot seven rooms, which is a lot when every shot needs to be meticulously examined for a rogue accessory, a lamp cord dangling in […]
victorian settee makeover reveal

I shared a preview of this makeover yesterday, but here is the full sha-bang (that’s a highly technical decorating term)… This isn’t a typical piece for me to buy, but as you may have figured out already, I like to change things up, so I don’t get stuck in a rut. Buying a piece of […]
