Seeing Red

In our house, we are seeing red–and not that kind of red–the warm, holiday red. We change our family room/kitchen decor semi-annually. We planned for this when painting and purchasing furniture pieces so that we would only have to change out accent pieces (throw pillows, curtains, etc…). We originally started with just red and then [...]

Fabric Swatch Lamp Shade

The bedroom make over saga continues… the latest addition is a lamp for my side of the bed. The other night, when I was skyping with my new Naptime Diaries mentorship friends (it was my first time skyping) I realized that I needed to shed some light on the space. I had this simple ikea [...]

A Star Shines

It is taking a long time to make any progress on our bedroom face lift. A couple of weeks ago, I stripped the room of all the former accents (curtains, pillows, etc.) just to motivate myself to get things moving. It worked… a little.
