I decided yesterday that 2013 is gonna be my year to rest. So until then, I’m going to run myself ragged and keep traveling, DIYing, partying, and the like. With that said, I’m throwing another party next month. With my friend Jenn, that is. It’s an evening just for home decor/design bloggers and it’s going to be really swell. Seats at the table are limited [...]
Coming this Saturday: Portland Flea
This weekend, another lovely season of Portland Flea kicks off. This makes my heart happy for many reasons. I love old stuff. I love supporting local businesses. I love good food. I love Portlanders. I love that I can find all of these items in one spot on a handful of Saturdays this spring/summer/fall. To kick of the begining of flea market season, Kate [...]
Featured! Cottages & Bungalows Magazine
Morning! Our little living room was recently featured in the June 2012 issue of Cottages and Bungalows magazine and I just had to share the article and photos with you! It’s fun to see our cozy space in print and it’s nice to see another room in our home get a little love, as I feel like our kitchen has had its day in [...]

Spring has sprung!
Morning, friends. Hope everyone had a happy weekend! Our days revolved around organizing, scrubbing, and cleaning our little abode. Getting ready to put a home on the market is no joke. And the hard part isn’t even here yet. Chaos. On a lighter note, I *think* spring has finally sprung in the Pacific Northwest. At last! The tulips bloomed in our backyard and I [...]
Launched: Design Services
I’ve been stuck in bed all weekend with the flu. Not fun. My head is foggy and it feels like a huge chore to even type on my MacBook. Better and healthier days are ahead, I hope. Anyway, today I’m finally launching something that is near and dear to my heart. It’s been a long time in the making, and I’m proud to say, [...]
Reader Project! Amanda’s new office
We’re kicking off this week with a lovely before and after re-do. Get ready to fall in love with Amanda’s new office – it’s fresh, modern and warm. Yes, I said modern AND warm, which is hard to accomplish. Amanda is a fellow Portlander and works in design, and she clearly has a knack for making things lovely. She also has a wonderful online [...]
TGIDIYFriday – Moss Letter
Friends! It’s March! What. The Heck. How did that happen? I’m kicking off this month with a little TGIDIYFriday action. We’re putting the glue gun to work and making moss letters today. As you do every first Friday of the month, you’ll find me over at hi, friend giving a little step-by-step tutorial on creating these simple letters. It makes a simple, but personal [...]
February Pinterest Favorites
It’s a good thing there’s one more day in February this year, because I almost forgot to do my monthly Pinterest post! Whew. A few of my besties joined Pinterest this month, and it was so fun to show them the ins-and-outs of this lovely site. They sat in awe of all the pretty photos while I showed them why “pinning” rules. I also [...]
House Guests! Young House Love
Yes, you read the headline correctly. The wonderful and talented duo John and Sherry Petersik from Young House Love were actually in Portland, at our humble abode. I had to snap a few pics so I could believe it myself… Who would’ve thought? Never in a million years did I ever think the most famous blogging couple would be standing in my kitchen. Nope, never. [...]

First inspired by the modern lines and quality of the midcentury era, founder Shannon Guirl mixed clay and wood together to create lovely lamps that [...]
