One of the easiest and most elegant ways to finish off a room or outdoor space is by adding greenery. There is nothing like a houseplant to liven up a space! And while I love the real thing – really I do! – my black thumb calls for artificial plants much of the time. That’s…

5 Fresh & Creative Ways To Integrate Flowers In Your Home
This is going to seem a bit unusual coming from me, but I am a late comer when it comes to appreciating floral decor. Yep, it’s true. The girl who has pretty floral prints in her guest room, floral pillows in her living room, and who loves creating floral wreaths has been a late-bloomer (pardon the…

Cozy Winter Decorating Ideas
Once holiday decorations have been put away, it can be tempting to wait until spring before decorating again.

This invariably leaves our homes feeling bare and even ‘cold.’ I want to encourage…

Creative Weekend Links
The other day, my husband and I went strolling around the marina. It was the first time we visited this beautiful area since last summer. The weather was just perfect: warm and sunny with a strong breeze to keep us cool. Surprisingly, not many boaters were out. Just rows upon rows of docked boats. Made…
Embracing The Weird (& The Wonderful) in Your Home Decor
Woa now, what’s up with that title? I must have rewritten it a dozen times before I ultimately settled on it. It’s better than the alternative I had in mind which was “So I Bought a Pair of Hands Today…” While more clever – if a little creepy (more on those hands later) – it…
8 Wall Decor Ideas
I’ve always been a fan of framed art and photos to decorate blank walls. There are so many styles to choose from and plenty of ways to display them. However, I also crave diversity in decor, including my wall art. With so much real estate being taken up by a home’s wall space, I think…
