Have you heard? Amy Butler’s husband, David, is launching a new fabric line! With three boys in the house (yes, I’m counting the hubs), I’m excited to see his new line of “guy friendly” prints. No website yet, but you can follow the winter introduction of Parson Gray on Facebook.

Horizontal Stripe Drapes

Posted in Make It, Shop It, What Do You Want to Change?, What Do You Want To Do?, Windows on July 27, 2011 | 2 Comments »

I love this horizontal stripe shower curtain from West Elm… …but I like it even better as easy-peasy drapes for my in-progress kid’s room. $120 to add three graphically-awesome, light-killing window treatments to my early riser’s room? Yes, please. Want to do the same? Go here for directions (only this time I used fabric glue [...]

A Touch of Nautical

Posted in Art, Décor, Fashion, Floors, Outside, Shop It, Walls, Windows on February 14, 2011 | 2 Comments »

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 [...]

After two years, we’re finally hitting our decorating stride and beginning to make our house feel like a home.  Next project on the list?  Our youngest son’s room, woefully ignored up until this point, except for a quick trip to IKEA for a big-kid bed when we started to worry he was going to crack his [...]

No-Sew Custom Window Treatments

Posted in Make It, Windows on May 3, 2009 | 1 Comment »

I believe that window treatments are like mascara for rooms – you don’t have to have them, but when you do the room looks finished.  I’ve had a long, sordid history with window treatments – not really loving most inexpensive pre-made ones and having limited ability to make more unique ones because of sub-par sewing [...]
