Hi Everyone! In today’s blog, I want to share with you some of my favorite Amazon finds.  I think it is safe to say that many of us shop at Amazon, especially these days when it is difficult to go out and shop.  Besides, Amazon literally sells EVERYTHING under the moon that you need or want, easy delivery and easy returns, so …. Why not?  I have an Amazon package at my door almost daily – anything from necessities including dog treats, dog food, bottle water to things that are fun, electronics, beauty … and on, and on and on! HERE ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITE THINGS I FOUND ON AMAZON ..read more

Hi Everyone! I hope you are staying safe and healthy through these crazy times! I thought I’d take a break from organizing and decluttering and do a fun tablescape design.  My inspiration was the moment I saw this gorgeous Kate Spade New York Birch Way place setting – specifically the salad plate! I fell in love with the rich blue color and the gold rim … it literally called my name.  Truth is, I have been thinking of painting an accent wall in the kitchen a rich navy blue. There is something about having blue on your walls. If it is a lighter blue hue, it tends to bring a calmness i ..read more

Hi Guys! Do you ever look at Pinterest and see all those amazingly organized refrigerators? Oh, I would love my refrigerator to look like that! Do people really take all that time to do that? How do you maintain it? Well … yes they do and, believe it or not, it is super easy to maintain. I decided to take on the challenge and set aside an entire day to clean and completely organize my fridge! What initially made me decide to finally organize my fridge was because I was just getting tired of having produce constantly go bad week after week. This kept happening mainly because I didn’t know exact ..read more

I know this has taken waaaaaaay too long, but I had so many adjustments to make and rearranging and, of course, I wanted the presentation to be perfect for you guys.  Well, after all these months … yes! I’ve FINALLY completed and absolutely love my closet reorganization! There are just a few things that I want to point out to you guys of this reorganization journey.  As you know, it took many months, and I will explain why it took so many months …. I was decluttering literally every day.  For some reason, I had such a hard time getting rid of some of my clothes … specifically my ..read more

Hi Guys! Happy 2020! In the Asian culture, this is the Year of the Rat. I thought it would be fun this New Year, to share with you my family’s Japanese New Year’s Day tradition which we call Oshogatsu (or Shogatsu). You may or may not know, I am Japanese from my mother’s side.  Every year, for as long as I can remember, we have celebrated New Year’s Day with the family gathering, an all-day enormous Japanese feast and lots, and lots, of sake. This is a very special day for us and we all eagerly look forward to January 1. Besides all of the fabulous food, it is also a tradition on New Year ..read more

Can you believe it is already time for Thanksgiving? This year just FLEW by!! Every year I try to change up my Thanksgiving tablescape and this year is no different. The past couple of years I had a more “glamorous” Thanksgiving tablescape. You can see what I did last year in my YouTube video (link: https://youtu.be/XkLJWUldQUo). There was a lot of bling, and I have to admit, it was gorgeous and I loved it! But ….. This year I want to be a little more subtle. I also found these adorable white pumpkins online at the Factory Direct Craft and wanted to incorporate them in a new centerpiece. I wil ..read more

If you have ever stayed in an AIRBNB or VRBO, you have probably left, at least ONE of them thinking to yourself …. “it would have been great IF they had (BLANK)” What was it? Cleaner environment? Better stocked kitchen? More chairs? Cozier rooms? A coffee pot? Softer towels? The list can go on …. I have decorated, designed and “staged” several AIRBNBs and when I work with my clients I tell them to think of what THEY would like in an AIRBNB and more often than not, that is what your GUESTS would like as well. I tell my clients that the “staging” and decorating process is very similar to that of ..read more

After 35 years of marriage and over 6 homes that we have lived in, I have always decorated our master bedroom more on the masculine side … meaning, no flowers, neutral colors and no fluff. We moved into our current home about 3 years ago and I decided that THIS home … we are going to fluff up the master bedroom! To be honest, I am not really a “pinkie” person, but I love the combination of rose gold and blush pink that seems to be everywhere. I decided to still be conservative and sophisticated with this new color change. I also decided to do this slowly so as to not completely shock my husban ..read more

Today I want to share with you guys some of my absolute MUST HAVE hair products and accessories. I know this is a little side-tracked from the interior design and organization blogs that I normally do. I was thinking, while I organize various areas of my home, why not share some really great products that I actually use, love and can vouch that really work?! I understand everyone has different hair types and issues, but I’ve discovered that these work for ME and my hair type (thin, fine and highlighted). If you struggle to find products that work for the same, maybe you will find these work fo ..read more

Working from home is definitely a luxury for me and I love that my home office has all the little things that inspire me, comfort me and make it one of my favorite places to be in my home. I want to take you on a desk tour in my office today, but I have to tell you … my office is filled with more decor than any other room in my home!! I think my personality definitely shines through in here. From the glamourous blingy accents to the Parisian flair touched with a little French country. I’m okay breaking the design rules in here … it’s MY happy place and I have filled it with everything that mak ..read more
