Warm inspiration as it starts to get cold
Now that the weather is starting to cool, I've been thinking about unpacking our winter throws, accent pillows, and down comforters. One of my favorite winter comforts is my faux fur throw. It adds luxe, glamour, and coziness to my sofa.
Winter is also a great time to swap out cotton and canvas pillows for textured pillows. Mixing up different...
Make your bathroom feel more luxurious
I'm one of those people who loves a luxurious feeling bathroom, and a hot shower or bath at the end of a long day. I'm guessing we all wish we had a luxury shower. One that's extra roomy with multiple shower heads and one of those speakers to jam out to music too! Don't you think a place you...
Letting Light In! Beautiful windows and natural light-filled rooms
It seems like the rain has set in these past few days and it can really make a day seem dreary. Even my dog is getting stir crazy from not going outside as much. I thought that maybe some window and natural light eye candy could help brighten up the mood a bit. After all, I've never hear anyone...

Have Fun with Lighting
I have a love/hate relationship with lighting. When it's done right, I love it. When it's done even a little bit wrong, I hate it. Let's not even get into how much most of it costs. It's easy to let lighting be an after thought when we're mostly so focused on furnishings and room layout. A lot of the...
Home office layout and inspiration
I am having a heck of a time arranging my home office in a manner that I'm comfortable. I believe I moved my desk 4 times now and I've only lived in our house since June. This morning I was in a rampage trying to find a photo or inspiration to use as a jumping off point for laying...
