So one of the things I have been looking for in a house is a flat ceiling. It seems so simple but I’m tired of popcorn ceilings! So that is a requirement of my new place. Of course my Realtor keeps telling me that my husband can fix the ceilings but it’s just something I don’t thing [...]

So I’ve been wanting to put some patio furniture on my patio. And since it doesn’t look like we’re selling our house, I have to plan around our small patio. So I don’t know what I’m going to do. I would like a place to eat but yet a place to lounge. And it all has to [...]

Sorry for being MIA this week!! I was out sick the beginning of the week and then the week just got away from me. I really did mean to post last night but I fell asleep doing my homework. Oops! I’m really dragging this week. I got to paint for my homework assignment this week [...]

House Beautiful has a new bookazine out called “500+ Favorite Paint Colors” and I have their other paint guide and I love it!

Okay, I maybe the last person on the earth to know this but Jonathan Adler is making stuff specifically just for Barnes and Noble. Why didn’t I know this before??? I knew he was making a case for the Nook but he has a whole collection of notebooks, pencils, pencil cases and I will show [...]

Okay, I admit I was drooling a little bit when I saw these pieces at GILT. Aren’t they wonderful? If I had the extra money, I’d be buying some of this wonderfulness! Especially that rug. Sigh. It made my heart beat faster. Is this bad? (PS – if you don’t have a membership to GILT [...]

I was browsing on Style At Home tonight and came across this house in Vancouver and I immediately fell in love. I love the use of basic white and neutrals and then the pops of color. I think that’s been a trend of some blogs the last few days. I love the kitchen table, in [...]
