Give me some pretty hanging string lights, a couple gorgeous hurricane lanterns, a few perfectly hand-crafted hanging planters, and maybe a porch swing....and I can make anywhere a dreamy place to hang! Whether the space that needs a spring refresh is your porch, patio, deck, yard, stoop, community garden or park...wherever you spend the most time outdoors, we've got...
Maximalism is loud and bold. It is layering prints and color, textures and pops -- all in the same space. It's a current trend, though rest assured there is nothing new about it, and plenty of fun to be had in playing with it.
And the perfect place to play with maximalism? Powder rooms.
Layering tiny spaces -- like powder rooms...
We're plugging away at organizing an out-of-control power cord situation in our home. We've now powered-through reviews and testing of cord storage boxes, cute outlet boxes, power stations for our phones/watches/etc.,, and power control central stations. And we're doing this from our kitchen, which for the better part of a year, has functioned as a home office, virtual classroom...
Just pecking away at 12 favorite modern birdhouses (and feeders) for spring, humming Bob Marley's Three Little Birds, "every little thing's, gonna be all right -- and wondering...will it? Will it actually be All Right? And is it also all right if I order not just one, but three birdhouses from Loll? They are sustainable and made from recycled...
The easiest way to put a little spring in your step — freshen up your entry with a new doormat! We've got our eyes on 12 doormats that have our happy feet dancing. From bold stripes to fun graphics, from Come-on-in-BYO to maybe-just-Stay-Away, after all. We've got one for the dogs, and our favorites of all time too. They...
Sooo...what is Nordic decor anyway? Funny you should ask. It's basically a design style based on minimalism & simplicity with a stylistic edge (you'll see what I mean through the products linked below). Nordic (or Scandinavian) decor uses pretty much all of the neutrals, wooden accents, ceramics and a ton of exciting shapes, without being too over the top....
The Emotionally Unavailable Until 2021 Doormat caught my eye as 2020 came to a close. It resonated on many levels. And then 2021 knocked on our front doors this week like...well...not like we were hoping it would (said as politely as I could). S wrote about this week, here. IMHO-She is brave and articulate-while many of us are at...
Color, is fun. Color is life. We've seen hints of color coming this year, little pops of it in Weekly Favorite Finds, in a desk chair, a throw blanket. We're wearing it too — as we hint of it in the AllSaints sweater it seems many of us have our minds on. Here and now, though, we're going to...
Well. Hello There, 2021. So nice to meet you. A li'l fister (that's a young friend that's like a little sister to me) dropped-off a wrapped copy of her newly illustrated book — Toshi Builds Consensus. Does she now? Who is this Toshi? I'm curious already, and in love with my li'l fister's art always — it's naturally my...
Chipped dishes, scratched-up dishes, mismatched dishes...after spending so much time eating at home this year, I was just over all of it.
I had some cute stoneware dishes I loved the look of, but they were scratched beyond belief and made a really awful, pull-your-hair-out squeak when your fork hit them just right. OMG, we do not need these...
