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 […]

I love a little lacquer in a room. Doesn’t the chest below just pop on the room? Even with the black walls the gloss on the black chest helps it stand out: While many of my to the vendors specialize in hi-gloss/lacquer pieces they are normally high in cost too. Enter a budget friendly chest: […]

Lacquered up!

When you do design work for a living the hardest client you will ever get is….yourself! Give me a stranger and after a chat and a look at the space I can start formulating a game plan. I find them inspiration shots, draw up furniture layouts and scour my sources for the perfect fabric, chair, […]

The hardest client…

Now I’m not the one getting married. Already been there, done that, but this coming Sunday my parents are renewing their vows. Actually saying their vows for the first time in an actual church ceremony. They went the courthouse route the first time around. So while Mom was doing her best not to be a […]

Hi All, I hope you all had an enjoyable and restful weekend. In NY after days and days of grey skies we finally had some sunshine to celebrate the almost end of the summer! I kept toying back and forth on whether or not I would fill the weekend with house projects or relaxation. Since […]

Weekend Recap: The DIY project that never happened.

During a search today I stumbled upon Hickorees Hard Goods I had a blast browsing through all of their items: It was full of lots of manly yet chic finds that I think Jon would love to receive. I of course was itching to go into an actual retail shop, but alas they are only […]

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.
