Are you in need of a gift for someone? I went absolutely overboard this year and, for the past week, I’ve been obsessed with creating new gift guides for you. When I stumbled out of my sticky, iced coffee filled stupor, I realized I now probably need glasses, but more importantly: I CREATED 18 gift guides!!! It only took me about 40-50 hours (according to my apps, this is the lowest week of steps I’ve had in 2024–my phone is ready to call the paramedics). Plus, I had the most fun! The next gift guides are all found in my Amazon Storefront: click here to see every department and shop around. Fi ..read more

It took me almost 20 years and 12 houses before I believed in the power of a large rug. Before that I thought rugs were just decor or just something soft. If I thought my floors were pretty then I didn’t use a rug. Or, if my floors were already soft–with carpet I also saw no need for a rug. It literally felt like a waste to me. IF I did decide to add a rug, out of respect for our budget, I always bought the smallest rug I could. I didn’t realize what a disservice I was doing to our home. UNTIL. Until one day, I decided to look at my Pinterest board full of rooms I loved, and then compare ..read more

In my 30 years of decorating 15 different styles of houses, I’ve learned a lot by doing things WRONG. Bright side–I get to share what I learned with you so you can avoid making the same mistakes. 1. Painting your walls in the latest trend color Painting your walls in the latest trend color without a PLAN, is the problem, not the trendy color itself. I believe that any color can be timeless when done right. But trying to update a tired room with only paint will not give you the results you want. Although paint has a big impact on the mood of a room, it doesn’t have much impact on how we e ..read more

Today, I’m sharing my paint colors–it’s the thing I’m most often asked about. For years, I didn’t share my paint colors, not because I didn’t want them ‘out there’ or feared they’d be copied, but for the opposite reason. My fear was that knowing my colors wouldn’t truly be helpful to anyone. That it might hurt more than help. I decided that I could share my colors responsibly. :) That you understand that just because a color looks like it could work for you from a photo, doesn’t mean it will. No one is going to buy 5 gallons of paint in a custom color just because they saw it on Instagra ..read more

Our bedroom hasn’t felt right since we moved in. Because I needed to photograph it for the book I got it in good enough shape, but it didn’t feel like me and I was too busy to take the time to figure out why. I liked each individual piece, what was the problem? This is the photo from the book and it’s fine. But it didn’t feel like me. So, this summer I decided it was time to figure it out. I went back to step one in the 5 Steps of Decorating and I quieted the room. I moved the sofa over to the side of the room, then I moved it into the hall to see the room with fresh eyes ..read more

I’ve been thinking back through the 15 homes we’ve lived in and this is only the third time we’ve had a dedicated laundry room. Not only that, this room is upstairs, it’s not also a landing place for the backdoor. It was the best laundry room we’ve ever had right from the start. Really, painting it and removing the built in cabinet we never used would have been enough, but the room had one of only 3 large south facing windows in the upstairs and everyone who walked up the stairs was served up this view of a little piece of a wall blocking part of the window and it was throwing off all th ..read more
