In the past few months, I finished reading the book “JOYFUL” by Ingrid Fetell Lee. I love this book. Ingrid is clever and witty. The knowledge she shares in her book, helped me to figure out my own LED light solution. I know LED’s are good for the environment but I was really frustrated with how hard the lights in
…….a lil’ bit about living in a “small home”. O.k. So, before it was even considered eco-friendly to choose to live in a small home, my husband and I were completely on board. We love to eat out, experience the local art scene and travel-that is before Covid-19 reared its ugly head. So naturally we have a big budget for those items
I love Spring! I am really enjoying Spring in Minnesota this year because we are actually experiencing it! For the first time in many, many years which is a true blessing. As we are “Sheltering in Place” we need all of the encouragement from nature that we can get! So, now that you have a lil’ bit of extra time, why not
This is a novel idea. I remember living in CT in my early 20’s and hearing how some of the residents dressed only in a way that coordinated with the interiors in their home. I thought, as a young, woman that it would be far too restrictive to dress that way! Roll the clock 20 years later…….and here I am! Yours tru
Today, I tuned into COLOR HIVE. COLOR HIVE is a UK study that brings to light color trends and how they come to be. The 2020-2021 color trend focus is on the environment-Water scarcity, Transforming e-Waste(tech upgrades) and Designing for Death (memorials). A term “Under the Dome” describes a new model for living-a pla
Are you a trend follower? Impulsive to get the latest craze in your home décor? Are you now feeling pressured to redecorate your mid-century modern home (that was a long-running trend!) and turn it into a “Maxed-Out” haven? Fret not! You can hang on to your beloved mid-century pieces and still have room to add a b
Beautiful! I can’t help but smile when I see the word. Beautiful can mean something different to all of us. Webster’s Dictionary meaning is: having qualities of beauty: exciting aesthetic pleasure. Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder! However, I think we can all agree that when being surrounded
Happy New Year! I am so jazzed about 2019! This past year, 2018, I did the hard work of addressing key roadblocks; personally and professionally that were holding me back. I have read many books, logged pages in my journal and meditated on how I want to live my best life. Feeling refreshed and whole once again, I
Tis’ the season to decks the halls and trim the tree. Does the idea of bringing in holiday décor give you a lil’ bit of home décor anxiety? I know for myself that it really does! My 6 and 8 year old have the idea that more is better and more is just MORE! I am a minimalist even during the Holiday Season. So,
Today I am sitting in my gorgeous kitchen and I can confidently say, “I have survived a complete kitchen remodel”. Yes, I have gone to the “other side”. The side of the client. Not easy to do. Nor to do it well. My home was uprooted. We, my husband, two children and I, embarked on a complete kitchen remodel.
