HOW-TO-MAKE-AN-EASY-DIY-OUTDOOR-MOVIE-SCREEN-WITH-STAND

Fall is the perfect season to host an outdoor movie night in your backyard! It’s that time of year when outdoor furniture is still outside and it gets dark earlier than the summer which means your little kiddos can enjoy the movie night as well. It’s so nice to transform your backyard with cozy blankets, […]

round up of budget friendly bar carts

Can you believe it’s already November? Before we know it Thanks No. 1 Modern bar cart with patterned sides that looks great as is, but would also look amazing painted a pop of color! Plus it’s only $157. No. 2 This lucite bar cart is a personal favorite of mine. Look at those chic lines! […]

For the longest time our backyard was mainly just grass and a little small area where we laid down some pavers so that we could set out a little plastic table/chairs during the summer. Not exactly ideal for entertaining. For the past couple of years we have wanted to build a deck and enjoy the […]

While the snow put a damper on my little weekend getaway I was able to virtually get away this Friday. The lovely Morgan from Pepper Design Blog asked yours truly a couple design questions. Head on over and check it out! Also I decided to jump on the bandwagon and set up a formspring account […]

So you already know that one of my low points this was heading back to the thrift store and finding my lamps missing.   Yesterday I decided to head out to another Thrift store that has everything 25% off on Thursdays. So happy I did, because high point of the week was picking up these […]

Highs & Lows of the week

Throughout the years I’ve started to collect elephants. I don’t know what it is about them, but it’s rare to see me pass up purchasing a new one.   Now don’t worry my house does not look like a safari, but throughout my spaces you’ll see one, or two or three.   I’ve now started […]

The one that got away…

When I was little many hours were spent playing Loteria.   Playing loteria is very similar to playing a game of Bingo. Main difference is that loteria uses images on a deck of cards instead of numbers on ping-pong balls.   The playing cards look like this:     The person running the game picks […]

A game of chance….

Never thought I would use the words Laura Ashley and Lust in the same sentence, but alas it’s true.   To be honest when I hear the words Laura Ashley I think of florals and matching outfits. When I was little I grew up in Manhattan and right near our apt was the  South Street […]

Lusting after Laura Ashley

A couple of months ago I jotted down the name  Mast Brothers Chocolate while I was flipping through Elle magazine.   Why you may ask? Well, because I saw a sampling of their amazingly chic chocolate bars. No need to even taste them I knew they would be delicious.     These bars of heaven […]

ON THE BLOG

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.

Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.

On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
