Man Cave to Glam Snug: An Update on the Messy Stuff!
So way back in late August/early September, I told you guys our next project was going to be updating the Man Cave. And then we finished the kitchen redesign a little later than expected and then winter came and we didn't do much of anything in the space. That's real...

House Dreaming: Why We’ll Be Moving

My Stunning Murano Glass Chandelier from Sogni Di Cristallo
I have wanted a Murano Glass chandelier for as long as I can remember. The exquisite skill required to blow these chandeliers is mind-boggling and their beauty is simply unmatched. In fact, I had a 'saved search' on eBay for the longest time, hoping that someone...

New Dressing Room Light Fixture and an Updated Tour
So I told you on Monday that I finally replaced the light fixture in my dressing room. This is actually the 3rd or 4th light I've had in here (I can't even remember anymore!) and while I liked the sputnik style one I'd had in here before, more than a year ago the...

Valentine’s Day Romantic Table Setting for Two
I don't really do Valentine's Day. There are a few reasons for this. First, my birthday is in late January, just one short month after Christmas and by the time Valentine's Day rolls around, I always feel like it's a little unfair to expect my partner to spend even...

Winter Refresh in the Living Room
My original intention was to share a post on how I basically swapped lots and lots of things around in my home over my break. I often shop my own house when I'm itching for some change and the start of the new year, after the Christmas decor has come down, is normally...

My Goals for 2017
I've never been one for resolutions. They just seem very abstract ("get fit") or way too much pressure ("don't eat chocolate"). I am, however, all about setting goals for myself and for my home. Goals seem more manageable, something to work towards rather than trying...
