How to Sell on Craigslist – 10 tips
Me and Craigslist are besties. It’s true. We bought our house on Craigslist, I found my current job on Craigslist, and many of my most beloved furniture pieces are Craigslist finds too. It’s actually somewhat surprising that I didn’t find Kyle on the website. Kidding, of course! I’ve bought and sold countless items on this lovely site, and along the way, I learned a [...]
Meet Pointy
Good Monday morning to you! Us Portlanders saw snow for the first time this weekend! It didn’t stick around for long, but it was sure pretty. In fact, it didn’t even stay long enough for me to snap some photos, but I promise, it snowed. I am hoping we get a few more snow sightings this winter, but we shall see… Anyway, I wanted [...]
Final Living Room Design Board
Morning, friends! Mondays come so darn fast. In a blink of an eye, I swear! Not fair. I happened to meet a wonderful new client this weekend and drop off a final design board for another. A few weeks ago I showed you a board I created for a client that didn’t make the cut, and today I’m showing you the winning board. Maren [...]
A Winter Tradition: Paperwhites
My sweet mom-in-law introduced me to paperwhites a few years ago, and now I am hooked. They are a great way to add some life to your home in the winter months, and they are super easy to grow too. My kind of plant. These miniature daffodils don’t even need soil to grow. Just grab a clear glass or plastic vessel and settle the [...]
In With the New
After a little hibernating, I’m back. With a fresh spirit, I wish you all a happy new year. There’s something about a blank slate that gives me a pep in my step. You? Speaking of fresh starts, our little living room received a mini makeover this past weekend. The holiday decor came down, and my beautiful new map (more on that here) found a [...]
Outdone
My husband totally outdid me this year for Christmas. No ands, ifs, or buts about it. Looks what’s about to be hanging in our home. It’s a colossal topographic wall map from Schoolhouse Electric and I’m in love. Kyle said he saw it and a holiday surprise was born. It hid in his closet for weeks and made its grand appearance on Christmas morning. [...]

Pumpkin Bread Goodness
Friends! Can you believe next weekend is Christmas?! What. The. Heck. I have a long list of things I need to wrap-up (literally) and I’m hoping by Monday I can say my holiday shopping is done. Wish me luck. Anyway, as promised, here’s my recipe for pumpkin bread. It’s embarrassingly easy and usually a crowd pleaser. Pumpkin Bread 1 1/2 cups sugar 1 2/3 [...]
10 inches
Morning! Today, we’re switching gears and talking about hair. I promise not to bore you and I’ll keep this short and sweet. Remember awhile ago when I mentioned my 30 before 30 list? Well, I have yet to share the full list with you, but one thing that made its way on there was donating 10 inches of my hair to Locks of Love. [...]
