You guys rock. You had such great insights on the great sectional fabric color debate. Going into it I was pretty convinced Lagoon was the way to go. I may have been swayed by a very gloomy day where the Ink Blue looked almost black and scared me. I dismissed [...]
My husband is an avid coffee drinker. Like, it is probably the first thing he should list as a hobby. I think it is in his blood, literally…he is part Columbian. He has experimented with several coffee machines and makers over the years. I think he has finally settled on his favorite method…freshly ground beans [...]
Our dream is to add a freestanding ethanol fireplace (pictured on the family room mood board) in front of the bamboo wall. Sometimes we have to wait longer than we like for dreams to come true. Some [...]
First of all, thank you for the awesome response to yesterday’s decorating dilemma. So many great perspectives to consider. It looks like navy (Ink Blue) is taking up the lead. West Elm even weighed in on Twitter and suggested Ink Blue. I am going to take the suggestion of several [...]

It’s time for a fresh market collection. Thanks to the wonderful response to the first collection, I plan to update the market around the beginning of each month. Did you miss something from the May collection? You can still shop available items on the
I have a holding area for decor. Is that weird? Throughout our entire basement finishing project I have collected pieces I love here and there. It takes the pressure off trying to accessorize the space all at once.
By the way, have you heard what The Nester is doing? I love that girl…she is a [...]
So there I was sitting nervously, on what seemed to be the tiniest chair ever, waiting for the attendees to arrive. My visual aids were solid, but I had no idea what I was actually going to say. I kept reminding myself it’s only 15 minutes, and if you talk for 10, they can ask [...]
Checkout my new ottoman…it’s big, graphic, and only cost about $50!
