Best wallpaper for creating warmth. (Hands down.)

Best wallpaper for creating warmth. (Hands down.)

Bonjour friends! Well, if you’ve opened a decorating magazine in the past year, you’ve certainly noticed that graphic wallpaper is all the rage. Despite my past wallpaper aversion (created by our first fixer upper), I’ve been so wooed by these new wallpapers that I even decided to create a wallpaper accent in our master bedroom which I shared awhile back. (Picture posted below.) I absolutely love the visual interest and style statement that geometric wallpaper like this makes, but the best wallpaper for creating warmth doesn’t come in a bold pattern.

Home Accessories: My Decorating Kryptonite

Home Accessories: My Decorating Kryptonite

Here’s a true fact that you might not know about me: I’m a chronic changer around-er.  When it comes to home accessories, I’m always moving things!

I swear, if you were to visit me every month, our house would never be the same way twice.

I could be watching The Good Wife, and before I know it, my decorating subconscious has rearranged the room. By the end of the episode, I’ve already stolen the required lamp from the living room, and a mirror from the hall and I’m caught up in a twister of wall art and toss pillows. READ MORE

“Auld Lang Syne” New Years Printable (Happy New Year!)

Happy New Years Eve, my lovelies!  However you plan to celebrate, I hope it is filled with lots of love, laughter and big, bright dreams for 2014!  I made this little 8×10 New Years Eve chalkboard printable to frame for my mantel, and thought I’d share it with you all too.

I love the New Years anthem that plays when the clock strikes midnight! What makes it even better is how everybody has their own version of the lyrics. Tonight, listen closely to your friends, and you’ll probably hear everything from Old Man Zine to Old Lang’s Sign! READ MORE

Oh deer, I think I love you. {Faux Taxidermy – Near & Deer}

When you’ve been a blogger for awhile, you get lots of pitches for product reviews. While this might sound great, only a handful are ones I’d consider writing about.

Awhile back, though, I found an e-mail in my Inbox from a company called Near and Deer, inquiring whether I’d like to try one of their faux deer heads.  Now, I think you’ll agree, that’s not something you hear every day. And, since I hadn’t yet indulged in the ‘faux taxidermy’ decorating trend,  I was intrigued.

Faux taxidermy has been all the rage in decorating in recent years.  (See: Faux Taxidermy Is A Surprisingly Chic Decor Element.) I love the personality statement that a set of (fake) antlers makes in a room.  They’re such a great mix of modern  chic and rustic cozy. I’ve swooned over many room photos with them; I just wasn’t sure how a set of antlers would mix with my own decor scheme.

And then this guy arrived in the mail…READ MORE
