Vintage-Style Mini Drawer Hack with Latch Handles

I hope you all had a lovely time over Christmas and New Year! Our days were filled with rollicking children, too much food, lazy mornings, too much champagne, and lots of laughter with friends and family. Getting back into the swing of things today by posting details...

Boy’s Tiny Lodge Style Bedroom Reveal!

Boy’s Tiny Lodge Style Bedroom Reveal!

I never thought I'd be able to create another kid's space I'd love quite so much as my daughter's bedroom...but I may have done just that. In fact, I might even love it more! From the start I was excited about the rustic-earthy-vintage-collected-lodgey feel I was...

A Simple Desk Makeover

A Simple Desk Makeover

You know that old saying, "Too much of a good thing is never a good thing." Well, aside from the fact they forgot to exclude wine...and pistachios...and Friday nights, it's pretty sound advice, and perfectly apt in the case of this cute little desk. As good as its...

A “New” Vintage Desk & Swivel Chair

So, I know it's basically December and publishing a post without any hint of pine needles or flocked snow is seemingly akin to impudence, though let's be rebels! Over the past few weeks I've been chipping away at Riley's bedroom re-do, with the most recently completed...

My Little Boy’s Room | Part 2 (the paint!)

I've said it before and I'll say it again...the difference some paint can make is amazing! Excuse the (slightly disturbing) chalk art! Usually I rely on the transformative power of neutrals, with their ability to freshen any space and create a nice, blank canvas....

My Little Boy’s Room | Part 1 (the before and a plan)

My Little Boy’s Room | Part 1 (the before and a plan)

This room has played many different roles over the years...a storage space, a home office, a junk room, a make-shift library, an ad-hoc guest room and a nursery for two little babies. At the moment it's supposed to be my four year old son's "big boy" room. Instead,...
