Boho Chic Sunroom Reveal (+ how I found my style and stopped trying to be something I’m not)
Do you ever have those light bulb moments in your life that are immediately followed by, “Well, DUH…how did I not realize that???”? Yup…all the time. Sometimes they even include a face palm. My most recent epiphany (I wrote about it HERE) was realizing that […]
Fun & Funky Boho Lounge
Hey, I’m back! I’m finally coming up for air after a brutal stretch of 15-20 hour days working on NY State Blues Festival. I had a bunch of responsibilities for this event, but the main thing was handling hospitality for 300-ish people in the VIP […]

Guest Bedroom Old Door Chalkboard
My guest bedroom got a much needed makeover when the DRG moved in because his son stays with us on weekends. My decorating challenge was to make the room appropriate for a 10 year old boy AND the adults (like my mom) who visit on occasion. […]
DIY Budget Kitchen Reno – The Big Reveal!
The stress and mess is coming to an end….the #NeverEndingReno is finally (mostly) finished. Four months years in the making, the first leg of this renovation started in 2012, and we picked it up again in the fall of 2015. But first – BRACE YOURSELVES….this is where […]
