Pillow Talk
So for the last installment of recent changes…pillows! I know, exciting, right? First let’s start with a stylist tip: when making your space feel like “home,” start gathering ideas – either by pulling out pages from magazines, copying them from decorating books or finding them on the web (consider using Pintrest for this).

A Little More Room to Live
Another change that happened a while ago was the living-room-rug-switcheroo. The other rug we had was fine, but it was a little small. That rug fit a previous living room much better, but we lived with it for a few years in this house. I knew a new rug would add some functionality; the “floating” […]

Getting on the Gallery Wall Bandwagon
So, it’s been done before. Many times. Decorators have done it. Bloggers have done it. And now, you can add me to the list. Our main floor hallway has gone from this… To this… If you think the coloring looks different – you aren’t wrong there either. It’s been freshly painted a light beige color. […]
I See the Light
We finally did it. We replaced our “antique” chandelier. This very unique piece has been on my radar for change since we moved in this house. Don’t get me wrong, this light was interesting and almost always elicited comments. It received its fair share of compliments – that is for sure. And most comments and […]
