Custom Wall Art on Canvas
I have partnered with Photowall for this post. All expressed opinions are 100% my own. Full disclosure. It’s not often easy for artists to appreciate their own work. We are always striving to improve, to find our style, to grow and be like those that inspire us. But do we ever stop to see the profoundness in our own uniqueness? Do we ever get to revel in the joy of our own talents, gifts, abilities, attempts? I struggle with this. A lot. I have always considered myself “an artist” –although more disparagingly than I would describe a friend as an artist. “Oh her? She is AMAZING and so talented. Such…

Updating a Bathroom Without Remodeling
Summer is flying by! I even lit one of my fall candles the other day and found myself getting in the mood for the next season. Yup, I really did. Don’t worry, I didn’t break out any fall décor just yet. I’ll wait till September for that. But seriously, I am still enjoying the warm weather and spending the days carefree (for the most part), with the little ones. I haven’t had a lot of time to work on any dollhouse projects, but I am looking forward to that when the older kids go back to school and the baby is taking a nap. So no miniatures today, instead, I…

Minimalist Master Bedroom Staged to Sell
Today, I’m excited to pick back up on a series I started over the summer, showing how we staged our previous house to sell.

Once we got the house listed, we had six showings the first day and were able to sell it for above list price in less than 24 hours. It really came down to decluttering and staging to make that possible, since we did not live in a particularly “hot” market area. I started this series with…

5 Ways to Beat the Winter Blues (at Home)
Does the time after the holiday season ever get you feeling blue? It does for me. It’s like the bottom falls out after New Year’s and I just don’t know what to do with myself. I miss the music on the radio, the movies on TV, the lights around town. All of the decorations, the magic, the wonder of Christmas is suddenly gone. And we are stuck knee deep in the thick of winter and the long, gray days of…………blah. Well, maybe it’s just because I live outside of Rochester, NY where the sky doesn’t turn blue again until late spring and the snow has been known to stick around through…

Bohemian Bedroom Ideas
This post contains some affiliate links. I may receive a small commission for any sales made through them, but the cost to you does not change. Full disclosure. Today, I have lots of bohemian bedroom ideas to share with you! I am constantly scouring Pinterest, blogs and retail sites for bedroom inspiration, so today, I put together a collection of various styles all with a boho vibe. My personal style aligns with spaces that are neutral, vintage, midcentury, and eclectic. But whenever I see the use of bold colors or sparkles of glam, I am immediately drawn in. I have included some of those here as well. I just recently…
