October is Window Covering Safety Month
Although it may not be the most fun and glamorous topic I’ve covered on this blog, it’s certainly one of the most important. October marks National Window Covering Safety Month, an ‘event’ created by the Window Covering Safety Council (WCSC) and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to raise awareness of the dangers of corded…
Read MoreFriday Family-Friendly Find: Magnetic Wallcovering from Weitzner
Can it be considered a ‘find’ if it’s been around for over 5 years? Well, I just found it. And now I want to use it everywhere! Today’s #FFFFind is a range of magnetic wallcoverings from Weitzner. While I love (and use) an upholstered pinboard, magnets are much easier, and of course safer for kids to…
Read MoreAwww Honey, You Blogged!
I truly cannot believe I haven’t published a blog post since March! How neglectful of me. Well, all of that is about to change. I’m getting my act together and finally publishing on a schedule, starting now. More on that later… So what have I been up to? Well, work. I’m sure you’ve heard it before…

Read MoreAn Interview With Traci Zeller
Have you ever met someone and thought, this is exactly what and who I want to be in 5 years? This is precisely what happened to me two years ago when I was introduced to Charlotte-based interior designer Traci Zeller at the High Point spring market (OK, I think I introduced myself 🙂 ). She…

Read MoreMy Tips for Creating a Welcoming, Functional Entryway
Last month, my vestibule, which I transformed as part of the Spring 2015 One Room Challenge, was featured in a new digital publication called Three Magazine – on the cover, no less! Since this magazine is still up and coming, I’m guessing many of you (ok, probably none of you, excepting my mom and sister)…
Read MoreProject Reveal: Brown Moves Down, A Home Lights Up
This past summer, a new client and her husband hired me to redecorate their family room and the adjacent eat-in kitchen. Their home is gorgeous – set back on a hill surrounded by mature trees, and renovated and expanded a few years ago. One of the big changes was the addition of a gracious family room,…

Read MoreOne Room Challenge – Week 5: The Final Sprint
Last time I took the One Room Challenge, back in the spring of this year, I had finished before the end of Week 5, and dedicated that week’s post to a “behind the scenes” of my photo shoot for the Week 6 reveal. I was done, in just about four weeks. This round looks a little…
