    Natural style

    This weekend Ryan and I had a table at the community rummage sale. It was, unfortunately, rather a bust. But it did force us to declutter, get stuff out of the house (and dropped off at Goodwill), and got us started in some spring cleaning. I have some projects that have been brewing since we [...]

    Kitchen trend

    I was looking through my inspiration folders the other day and noticed a funny trend. I save all kinds of photos, but the kitchens I choose almost always have some kind of glass door cabinets. Now, realistically I would never have ALL glass cabinets. Storage is there to store things – and not all things [...]

    Vintage charm

    This little apartment is an oldie but a goodie from the good folks over at Apartment Therapy. Alex’s charming vintage apartment features many of my favorite current trends but doesn’t look conventional or like Domino regurgitated. There are more photos on the original article, but these are some of my favorite shots. In the main [...]

Oh right, and the flowers are beautiful. Which is why I was SO excited to see Emerson’s home that she shares with her [...]

You could have a bare one, you could drape a dramatic scarf across just the top for a canopy bed, you could have curtains just around the posts, or you could do full-on curtains around the whole [...]

    Future project ideas

    Sure, we may not have money NOW, but that doesn’t stop a girl from dreaming, right? I have a lot of projects up my sleeve, that are just waiting for a little financial support to get rolling. Luckily most of them can be budget-friendly. For instance, we plan to upgrade from a full-size to queen-size [...]

    Natural wood tones

    I’ll admit I’ve always been a painted-wood girl. Usually white but sometimes black. When I moved into my first place I had to start from scratch as far as furniture went. My plan was to get a black dining set but Ryan didn’t like it. Since I was already pretty sure we would be living [...]
