I’m off to Vermont this weekend for a family wedding (congratulations Lauren and Justin!)…how about you? The wedding is in the north country, so I’ll have lots of time to catch up on reading on the way up and back. It’s been a really long time since I’ve spent hours getting lost in my favorite [...]

Logic quiz: Poor self-image is to fashion magazines as WHAT is to home decor catalogs? I don’t know either, but sometimes I feel like I have it, whatever IT is. Occasionally I get sort of taken over by staging my house…rolling up the throw blankets and storing them just-so in a gorgeous basket (you’re cold? grab one [...]
Handmade for the Tooth Fairy
Posted in Kids' Stuff, Organization, Shop It on January 26, 2011 | 2 Comments »
It only took six years, eight months and a bunch of days, but my little big guy finally lost his first tooth. We (he) had been waiting so long, you would think we – ahem – the Tooth Fairy would have been ready with a super-special $2 bill and a new toothbrush. But instead, our little big guy got two [...]
Inspiration for an Unexpected Home Office
Posted in Décor, Furniture, Inspiration, Interiors, Organization, Reinvent It on August 12, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Best laid plans. I don’t know about you, but when I move into a new space (which is more often than I’d like), I try to have it all planned out before the big day. The furniture, the wall colors, where the lamps will go. Everything. But sometimes things don’t turn out exactly like you [...]
IKEA Hack: DIGNITET as Inspiration Board
Posted in Art, Décor, Organization, Shop It, Walls, Windows on January 11, 2010 | 2 Comments »
A recent exchange with my friend Christine — who’s currently redoing her office — reminded me of something I meant to post long ago. I’m also in the (endless) process of updating my home office into a lovely creative zone, and I needed to find a solution for a long wall that my desk faces. I thought [...]
I heart Fred.

We gave these to my stepmom for Christmas. Aren’t they great? I almost kept them for myself, but decided that would be so un-Christmasy. I’ve seen the clever products from Fred&Friends for many years, but this was the first time I bought. I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Image credit: M-Cups [...]
Holiday Gift Guide: Posh Peacock Paper Goods
Posted in Organization, Shop It on December 13, 2009 | 4 Comments »
As a risk-averse working mom who has many creative interests outside my day job, I am inspired when I hear about women who have left a career track to start a cottage business. I’m even more inspired when that leap has been taken by a close friend. But the absolute best is when that close friend [...]
Holiday Gift Guide: Piggy Banks
Posted in Art, Décor, Organization, Shop It on December 9, 2009 | 3 Comments »
One of my favorite gifts to give is a piggy bank. Not only are piggy banks classic, but fabulously functional, inspiring a trait I wish I had. If 2009 has taught us anything, it’s that you can never go wrong saving your pennies. So here are my three favorite piggies, at least one of which some [...]
Inspiration by IdeaPaint
Posted in Décor, Inside the Mudroom, Organization, Reinvent It, Shop It, Walls on November 23, 2009 | 3 Comments »
I’ve made it a personal mission to ensure that my kids don’t grow up creatively stunted (like their mama who didn’t find her inner creative streak until age 35). So when I was given an opportunity to test IdeaPaint, I was stoked (as were my kids). Check out the full review in my latest column [...]
Pink Lacquer Bath Accessories

When I was a little girl, I was forbidden to have a Barbie. My parents had this thing about bringing inaccurate female stereotypes into the house, and so I suffered an incomplete girlhood (sniff). As it turned out, after a brief moment of Goth-ness in high school, I ended up being just as girly as the girliest girls out there [...]
