Last week when I posted my Weekend Instagram I neglected to share one very important weekend event and that was the Saturday shoot of Bryan's nursery for Childstyle. Childstyle is a new HGTV web series starring blogger Rebecca Woolf of Girls Gone Child. It was so much fun to have the whole crew here (and it didn't hurt that they served us Cacaofor lunch) filming, getting to know us and doting on... Read more

I went to West Week at the PDC about a month ago. Not only did I get to meet Holly Hunt in person, but I also attended a great presentation by Tim Johnson of Jim Thompson(yes, you heard that right - I did not get the letters mixed up) on the process of making their eponymous Thai silks. There were tons of fascinating tidbits, like, did you know that the mulberry trees they use are not in fact... Read more

I'm not the gambling type, but back when the mega-millions jackpot hysteria was happening I jumped on the bandwagon and bought a ticket. If anything, buying a lottery ticket gave me the license to daydream for a few days. If I could have my dream life, what would it be? Which got me thinking, why not create a lifestyle boardon pinterest that captures the life I'm striving for in images.... Read more

Honestly, I'm not sure why I keep trying to do these alliterative post titles. Kind of silly, right? I swear "Dining Delicacies" is my last one and I'm on to more sophisticated and mature post names. In any case, I've shown you the Master Bedroomand Family Room that I helped my friends with. The dining space is the final area that they asked me to give them ideas for. They'd bought this...

Today my old friend Jaime from Less on the Floor is sharing a great casual-but-stylish mom outfit with us. Thanks Jaime. Take it away:This is my go-to Casual Friday for that winter-spring transition. Plus a machine-washable dress now that I'm feeding the baby solid food! I like the desert boots with a little heel, but flat would be cute too -- and better for chasing around the playground. :-) [1]... Read more
Jess Houlemard is back again to share some shots for her most recent fete. She put together a casual bohemian camp inspired movie-night for her sister Nicoles' 30th birthday party. Even though the event got rained on people had a great time. She used thrift store finds such as antique lanterns and collected floral sheets to create the vibe of la vie boheme, and used warehouse stacking palettes... Read more
