I set out with a mission to finish the bedroom curtain project pronto because taping the curtains in place wasn't working. I couldn't have the blue painters tape releasing, dropping …
Sure, I went to Target for the much-publicized Missoni opening day. I had to. Didn't I? I wasn't expecting any grandiose surprise awaiting; I knew what products and patterns were part …
Yeeeehah, I'm bubbling stained shipboard wall happies. (If you're just arriving, see how I installed that pine shiplap paneling, and how I stained it. Also – I think you'll like how …
I loved my summertime succulent wreath. It hung wonderfully, and didn't fade, droop, or melt out of shape in the extreme heat in the cavern of fire which formed every …
The shiplap whipped me into ship-shape and shipped the bedroom off to have a whole new look and feel. Shippy! Not really in a boat-y or cruise ship sense... my bedroom …
We've officially lived with the floored queen bed for one full month. And still love it. Somehow, even though it's a bigger bed, moving it 3 feet to the left …
I've been plotting to make cement planters ever since I saw them detailed in the late ReadyMade magazine earlier this year. Graphic designer for Exhurb Magazine, and author of simplysofie.com, Sofie …

Something hasn't been right in the stairwell since I painted the steps. I sat at the base of the stairs looking upwards for awhile Friday evening trying to place my angst. …
I never quite know what I'm going to find in Grandma's Attic, which I like to position as a cutesy salvage shop and not what it really is, as in …
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery? Sure. And with inspiration abundant online, between amazing blogs, search engines, and aggregators like Pinterest, project tutorials of all kinds are right at your fingertips. …
