Rethink Pink
Pink is a beautiful, joyful hue that has been engrained in our minds as a “little girl color” – much as a dad’s favorite sports team becomes his son’s favorite teams. Do you think pink is most little girls’ favorite color because they organically love it, or because they caught on pretty early that ...
What To Wear!
Every day I go in my closet to get dressed, and ask myself that question. But I don’t always get an easy answer. Now if I’m only wearing 20% of my wardrobe (the norm), then I’m wasting a lot of time looking at the other 80% in pursuit of what to wear! What a waste of time! So this season, rather ...
Designing Trendy Tween Rooms for Girls
Got a Tween? Yea, it’s (mostly) a girl thing. If she is too old for bunk beds and trundles, then it’s time to ban the bunnies and butterflies from her room. The key is to be adaptable! She’s going to change her mind many times. What is a “Tween?” This Tween Definition from the Urban Dictionary ...
Decorating Blues!
What goes with your favorite pair of blue jeans? Just about anything! Perhaps that’s why blue is such a popular design trend in our homes! It’s a more lively neutral that plays well with others. When it comes to bringing blue inside your home, there are SO many options for pairing other ...
Playful Decorative Accessories
Why be so serious? Your home should make you smile! If we’re honest with ourselves, we’ll admit that (to some degree) we tend decorate our homes to impress others. But most of what you do with your home décor should be an expression of YOU. And accessories are the perfect way to infuse some ...
The Power of Color in a Playroom Nook
Awhile back I shared a wonderful meditation nook I discovered on a “girls spa weekend” in North Carolina (see post here). Simply put, it was a bed placed at the end of a hall for guests to relax in while in-between treatments. Of course the vibrant drapes and oodles of comfy pillows added to the ...
Thanks for listening – 100th Post!
February may be a short month, but that’s no excuse for waiting til the 11th hour to squeak in a post! Yes I’ve been busy (isn’t everyone?), but that’s not why it’s taken me so long to post. But since this is my 100th post, and yes…I felt the pressure to make it something SPECIAL! Ok, enough ...
Laundry Space from Drab to Fab
Thanks to everyone who lovingly nagged encouraged me to keep my word that I would redesign my hard-working laundry room closet! I’m happy to report that just two weeks after I posted my embarrassing laundry closet in "My Laundry Closet Needs a Makeover", I’ve transformed my closet from drab to ...
My Laundry Closet Needs a Makeover
My laundry room is just an upstairs closet off the main hall. But it’s also the only "room" in my home that I haven't at least painted! I actually started this project over a year ago by adding “Laundry Room Flair” with cute knobs, writing on the wall and a fun switch plate cover. But ...
Painting Wood Floors
Looking to make a BIG change? Ready to stir things up a bit? How about painting your wood floor? For me, this fits the category of “I’d love to do it, but don’t think I can gain spousal consent.” Yes, it’s a bigger job than painting a wall, or even a ceiling. But if your wood floors have seen ...
Choosing Paint Is Like Buying Toothpaste
Have you noticed that when you go to the store to buy toothpaste, there are so many choices that it’s overwhelming? Do you want whitening, tartar control, fluoride, sensitive, gel or paste, sparkles, or one of my favorite…”pro-health night toothpaste” (huh?). And the price points are varied as ...
