How to: Fairytale Baby Girl Nursery
The possibilities when designing a baby girl’s nursery are endless. I knew I wanted the color pink to be present…but not TOO Pink. We also had a strict rule for a “no princess” theme. I have a deep love for books. I wanted to instill that love in our new little bundle. Coupling this love …
Chevron Love
I love finding our rugs in unexpected places on the web. Browsing through my favorite Blogs last week I stumbled upon our La Scala Chevron rug in Medium Blue on the Front & Main West Elm Blog. The post is about using free wallpaper samples in frames as great DIY Wall decor. When I read …
How to: Vintage Sports Nursery

DIY- Chalk Board Kids Play Table
I have a confession: I have an obsession with Magic Erasers. I use them on everything in our house from shoes, to windows, on our base boards, and on my kids play table. From Play-Doh to markers the Magic Eraser would clean it…but I over did it and soon the finish began to wear on …
Breakfast Nook Needs a New Look
I have to admit our breakfast nook area takes some serious abuse. From the baby in the high chair, to the Play-Doh from our toddler, to dogs just being dogs, it gets a beating. All that said, I don’t want a boring utility-type rug in that space. Breakfast nooks, because of their positioning in your …
Aqua and the Aegean Sea
Inspired by my recent travels to the Aegean sea, I’m hooked on the color aqua. Throughout Greece the water was truly amazing. The Aquas are everywhere, not just in the gorgeous tranquil waters, but painted on buildings, signs, balconies, and store fronts. I wanted to bring it back with me! Knowing this wasn’t possible, I now …

I still have my first generation iPod — it sings lullabies to my daughter at night. My trusty iPod nano jams while I work out.
