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 […]

Happy Birthday to the best partner a gal could have. He always jokes that I’m a cougar because I’m 6 months older than him, but today he finally catches up with me and turns 33. The moment I met Jon I knew we were meant to be together. Once we officially started dating I knew […]

This one goes out to the one I love…

Our weekend came a bit early when we got a surprise visit from my sister Ximena on Friday. Not only did she come over to have lunch with us and give the boys lots of kisses, but she bought me an amazing gift. She popped into a C.Wonder sample sale and picked up a lucite […]

Can’t wait to test some of them out. -Thought of both of my sisters when I saw this print by Inslee, because they pretty much disrobe the second they get home. -I have always thought that leopard […]

I grew up in Manhattan where there is literally a hot dog stand on every corner that sells hot dogs (duh) along with pretzels. I loved nothing more than getting out of school and going to the closest stand to get a treat for the walk home. My poor mother! Even back then everyone was […]

Treat Yo Self: Pretzel Earrings

I love for all of the rooms I design to have a little touch of something ethnic/global. Many times this can easily be done by adding a kilim style pillow. One of my favorite sources for such pillows is ebay shop, Turkish Kilim. Here are some of my current favorites. Inventory changes quickly and most […]

Etsy Spotlight: Turkish Kilim

Thank goodness for moms. I spent all of yesterday fighting a cold that had been floating around my family and finally caught up me on Sunday. Stuffy nose, sore throat, achy body you name it I was feeling it. Jon had to head into work, so luckily for me my mom was off for Columbus […]

Cozy chic style

Hi All, This weekend was action packed. On Saturday it was a miserable day weather wise. Non stop rain for most of the day and we had a full schedule with our realtor. It was a little annoying having to take the boys in and out of the car with all of the rain, but […]

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.
