get organized, live

When life gets busy, an organized laundry seems to help keep order in the whole house. If clothes and bedding aren't getting washed, dried, and put away, things get crazy quickly. (more…)

live, post & beam beach house remodel

This is one of the parts of my house I was most excited about remodeling. That might sound strange because it's not an area you linger in, but it's the first thing you see and it really was pretty dark…

live, post & beam beach house remodel

My dining room sits on a low platform in the living room. The exposed beam ceiling is nearly fifteen feet high at the peak which can make it tricky to decorate. To see the original owner's style, scroll to the…

October 1, 2013
/
holidays, live

Fall is a gorgeous time of year in most cities around the world and I love the change-over between seasons, but decorating a modern home with all things country can clash a bit. Here is my take on a minimalist…

fireplace refurbish

September 24, 2013
/
live, post & beam beach house remodel

Here's my fireplace transformation, as promised last week. While I didn't hate the old, dark version (above right), it was dated and a little more rustic than I was looking for. The rocks weren't real, they were painted Disneyland-style fakes.…

DIY window panel table linens (no sew)

create, make it

I have a lot of trouble finding table cloths and runners that I find even vaguely attractive. They are generally ugly and expensive! My secret find has been these window panels from here. They are around $20 each, so it's…

stairwell style

August 28, 2013

live, post & beam beach house remodel

This stairwell was one of the biggest eyesores in our house (see original photos below), before it was transformed into the loft/art gallery-style it is today. We made some big changes while essentially keeping the stairs in the same position…

live, post & beam beach house remodel

This guest bathroom was dark and narrow when we first moved in (see before photo below) so, without doing a full remodel, I replaced the vanity with a pedestal sink and removed the large mirror glued to the wall. The…

live, post & beam beach house remodel

This sunny corner of our home wasn't horrible before (see before photo below), but it was a bit blah. My goal was to make it a place that attracted us to it with comfy chairs, a good solid table, and…

live, post & beam beach house remodel

This unwieldy black marble edifice is not something we're planning to keep in our pared down post and beam remodel, and with TV's as slim as a sandwich and fireplaces much neater than they used to be there's no need…
