This is a post two years in the making!!  Yes, two years!  Back in April of 2016, right after we had completed our Kitchen Makeover I decided to stain our bathroom grout after seeing our kitchen backsplash installed with a charcoal/black grout.  I loved the look and wanted to have the same feel in our little bathroom.  But after immediately going through the process and staining the grout I took some pictures and had the post written, all ready to post and then I hesitated.  … Read More

While perusing images this week, I came across this beautiful Parisian hallway.  You can take away so many elements from this small look into this space… the perfectly worn hardwood floors, the beautifully placed builtin storage, the moulding, the wallpaper inset in the ceiling.  I mean really there is so much to take in, but this week I was inspired by the color palette in this space.  … Read More

I have done my best to round up as many of the items in our living room as possible.  The hardest to find was our large leaning floor mirrors.  You all have been asking about them so much!  after pouring through my old sources, I was able to relocate them.  FYI!!!  The image shown on the link to them & in my graphic below, shows them being more gold in tone.  … Read More

When shuffling our room around to accommodate our new sectional, I had to switch to a smaller scaled end table.  This led to the decision to opt for a floor lamp behind the table vs. a table lamp.  There would just not be enough space to accommodate a lamp and well, anything else on the table!  I went through dozens of options trying to find the perfect lamp for the space (as well as budget).  … Read More

A few weeks back, I mentioned how in love I am with this certain moody blue green hue.  Like all of the heart eyes, head over heels in love with this color.  I just knew I had to incorporate it into our home.  Some way, some how.  Evaluating how we utilize our living room, I was quick to notice that we all tend to pile on the sofa and our large tufted armchair would get no love.  … Read More

You all have loved these single armed wall sconces!!! As well as those sexy gold dipped bulbs.  Unfortunately, the sconce source is no longer available, so I went through and found some great alternates at even better price points.  I have also included a chrome version which would look amazing with a chrome dipped bulb!!

And here is a tip for making sure your brass looks timeless and not nineties… choose an un-lacquered finish.  … Read More
