When we decided to get a dog, I really wasn’t sure what to expect. Neither my husband or I had ever owned a dog growing up, and our friends with dogs were all telling us, “Don’t do it!” But we had 3 children who wanted a dog more than anything in the entire world, they… Continue Reading →
I’ve been taking some of your excellent advice on my Holiday Decorating with Target post, and I’ve been working on my house some more. We are entertaining this weekend, and we have out of town guests coming to stay with us during the week after Christmas, so I really want to feel good about my… Continue Reading →
I’ve confessed before that home decorating does not come naturally to me. I love a well appointed home, but achieving that on my own is hopeless. I don’t get it. I feel like I have a good eye. I know what I like when I like it, and I can walk through any home goods… Continue Reading →
I’ve mentioned a few times that I’m a part of the new Target Inner Circle program, a small team of social influencers who get to bring you (my readers) the inside scoop and exclusive access to Target! Our first experience with the program was a trip to New York City to take part in Target’s Media… Continue Reading →
Last month I attended the Getting Gorgeous event in NYC along with about 600 other lucky ticket holders. This was my 3rd Getting Gorgeous event, and they just keep getting better. Audrey and Vera do an AMAZING job at pulling together a group of awesome brands and making a fun and worthwhile event for the… Continue Reading →
I would love to have a nicely appointed home, and I have definite opinions about what I like and don’t like, but when it comes to my own house, decorating doesn’t come naturally to me. It takes me a lot of time and effort to achieve the look that I want — and I don’t… Continue Reading →
The Living Room Makeover is COMPLETE. For now anyways. I still want to get a new couch someday, but we are saving for a deck. Boo. I mean yay, a deck. But boo, no couch. Any. Who. Remember the before pictures? Nolan Painting came and gave us a whole new look with Benjamin Moore’s Whitall… Continue Reading →
Last Thursday, two friendly, well-spoken gentlemen showed up at my house from Nolan Painting to paint my living room. First, let me explain. This is only the second time in our married lives we have hired out a paint job. My husband is a DIY guy at heart. He actually runs a podcast with his… Continue Reading →
Last weekend I went out and got a sample of Whitall Brown (if you recall, it was Megan’s recommendation) and another lighter shade of brown that I pretty much just picked willy-nilly (’cause that’s how I roll). I got home and had my husband roll samples of the paints on several walls of our living… Continue Reading →
I love you guys, can I just say? I put my Living Room Paint Debate out there and within 24 hours I knew exactly what I wanted to do in there!! When Megan suggested brown, I thought that might just be the ticket. Some others suggested it too. I’d have NEVER thought of brown in… Continue Reading →
I’m glad you're here! I'm a writer, talker, coffee addict and collector of people and handbags. I live outside of Philly with my husband, 3 children, and a terribly spoiled shih tzu named Savannah. Read More →
