Buy It, Spy It or DIY It

Friday Faves has been replaced. That should be read in an ominous voice. It has been replaced with something that shall be dubbed, “Buy It, Spy It or DIY It”.  I got a little Crate & Barrel catalog today and as I was flipping through, I saw lots of things I liked.  Some of them …

This is my 100th Post!  I thought it would be fun to get started on a House Tour.  Whenever I find a new blog, the first thing I look for is their house tour. It gives me a quick idea of whether or not the blogger’s style is one that will capture my imagination.  I also …

Bedroom Refresh

I caught up on lots of things this weekend, including finally hanging the made over mirror and the transformed portal. The made over mirror took the place of a trio of contemporary floral canvases from Ikea.  I still love those three pieces, so I wanted to find them a home. They have a smidge of orange in them, …
