Somewhere along the 70+ years of this little historical cape cod’s existence, someone who lived here had a fascination with cabins. Like knotty pine & corner shelves & hammered iron hardware cabin. And while I love a good cabin [I’m a Wisconsin-born girl after all, we love our lake cabins!] — the cabin look was […]
A NOISY BIT OF EASTER EGG INSPIRATION
We have a bird in our chimney. Whether it’s stuck there or nesting there is presently debatable. This is how the discovery transpired [ via the Google chat transcript with the Ben, with the addition of some punctuation & spell checking ;) ]. . . [T] Uh, there is a TERRIBLY loud, crying bird stuck in our […]
SEASIDE THRIFT STORE GOLD {SPRAY PAINTING & ANTIQUING A PICTURE FRAME}
Let me start by saying I often go to thrift stores and strike out entirely. We live in a college town. My competition is fierce and flea markets are prevalent. So thrift stores [in this case the DAV Thrift Store] are often low on home goods, much less awesome home goods. But on this day, I struck Seaside […]
THE FAIL-PROOF CHALKBOARD WALL
By fail-proof, I mean FAIL-PROOF. If you can paint a halfway decent wall, you can create this chalkboard wall. I know because after hours of reading online tutorials on how to prep and paint a chalkboard wall, I abandoned all but a few basic tips, and this little creation at the DAVE + AUDREY ended […]
COLORFUL, AFFORDABLE FINDS [FROM THE DAVE + AUDREY PROJECT]
It’s install weekend at the Dave + Audrey project, and we are set to bring this colorful house to life! We’re packed up with load #1 of many, and we’ll be back next week with photos of the final design. But in the meantime, here are a few fun, affordable pieces we’re loving from the […]
SPRAY PAINTING FURNITURE
It’s no secret I love gray. Gray has had my back for years. It never fails me in a pinch. It’s traversed decades of styles with ease. It can teeter the line between show-stopper and quiet neutral without batting an eye. Gray is like that perfect party guest. It’s willing to step up and be […]
IT’S A CRANE, IT’S AN EGRET – IT’S SERENE! AN ETSY FIND.
So we’re still debating whether this bird is an egret or a crane… she’s a beautiful bird, at the very least! [Any bird experts out there?] This custom painting was an Etsy find, and at a whopping $17 [including the shipping!] I was able to quiet my hyperventilating about buying something sight unseen [seriously, […]
PAINTING A TILE BACKSPLASH
We’ve hit-the-ground-running with the Dave + Audrey project. And after stopping in to have some tea and chat with those two [awesome] people last night, I got the go-ahead to chase a bit of kitchen inspiration! Dave and Audrey’s kitchen is entirely charming as is. It’s the type of homey kitchen that makes you you […]
DAVE + AUDREY SNEAK PEEK
Look at a sneak peek of these TEAL stairs at the Dave + Audrey project! I’m thrilled to be working with Dave + Audrey. They are fun-loving newlyweds who are drawn to colorful design. With record low temperatures and 6” of snow on the ground here in Virginia, Dave + Audrey’s love of color is […]
DAVE + AUDREY – GETTIN’ MY SHOPPIN’ ON
Let me first say, Target needs larger carts. Small buses, essentially, that you drive around and load up with all those beautiful Target things. Or maybe Target could provide shopping caddies. A caddy who suggests that new Nate Berkus throw would be ideal in my guest bedroom. A caddy who then pleasantly trails behind me […]
