How to Design With: Painted Terra Cotta Tile
This is the very first article in what I hope will be an informative and enjoyable series of posts, which will be published about once a month. With each article, I’ll explore ‘How to Design With” a specific type of material, finish, furnishing, or accessory for your home. I’ll be sure to include my thoughts…
Read MoreFriday Family-Friendly Find: Tilebar Crystallized Thassos Tile
I’m still not fully believing it is Friday again already. But that’s what my calendar is telling me, so I suppose there’s no denying it. I’m pretty sure it’s Monday, actually – it feels that way, after I inadvertently prematurely published those first two sentences yesterday (on Thursday). Oops. I wish it were a Sunday.…
Read MoreCan a Pretty Powder Room Survive…BOYS??
They say inspiration can come from anywhere. My inspiration for this post was derived from a little diamond that popped into my Facebook news feed (via a good, old friend) yesterday: “Someone should tell you that when you have little boys, your toilet will never look the same again…” Too funny!

Read MoreOld House Love
With all apologies to the eponymous Young House Love bloggers, I just have to write a bit about some Old House Love – for the one my husband and I now own. We haven’t moved in yet, but the prior owners moved out this week. I have to say, now that the house is completely…

Despite the lack of progress in making…

If you’ve read other color or color-focused design blogs, you’ve likely seen a fair amount of clamor about a much-maligned, and very commonly used neutral color – beige. But not just any beige, beige with a red undertone. AKA “pink beige.” Even if you have no idea what I’m talking about at this point, you’ve…
Read MoreColor 101: Optical Mixing & Seeing The Forest (Not The Trees)
During my color training, I learned about the various phenomena of color interaction and color perception. Among these is optical mixing – the phenomenon of seeing two or more colors one way up close, and very differently from further away. Specifically, two or more distinct colors in a pattern seen from a distance will begin…

Read MoreA House Update (plus, a few of my favorite things)
I’ve been on blogging hiatus for a few days, while focusing largely on the house we’re building (as well as a few other top-secret projects I look forward to telling you about later!). So I thought I’d give you a brief glimpse into everything we’ve been doing to create a new home that reflects our…
