Black And White Bedrooms
I know I’m starting to sound like a broken record with all the black and white but I just have to show you some of the bedrooms I’ve been collecting for a while:
I hope you have some fun planned for your weekend. Hubs and I are hitting the hardware store (again), moving some furniture around, [...]
Traveling Thursday: Hotel Endsleigh, UK
Since I didn’t make it to England this month, I decided to torture myself even more with pictures of Hotel Endsleigh.
Between the decor and the setting, it could not be more charming.
Happy Traveling Thursday and bon voyage!
I Want to Live in Stockholm, in this House
Every once in a while I see a house where I like absolutely everything. This Stockholm house recently featured in Skona Hem (of course) is one such house.
It had me at the window seat. Oh, that view!
Love the rolled arm sofa, the Josef Frank pattern on the other, and the tray coffee table here:
the wallpaper, [...]
What To Do With Bay Windows
I’ve always loved bay windows and consider myself lucky to to have a couple in our new house. One is in the living room and I kind of like them in their current bare state but I think they would also look great with big, full, white silk drapes. The other one is in the [...]
Art Wall of Black Frames
Hi, everyone, how was your weekend? My weekend in New York was great (as always) and it was just what I needed to get recharged and start tackling more boxes around here. Here’s my quick review:
Per Se – fantastic, stupendous, awesome, amazing, etc., etc., etc.
6 Columbus – meh.
In the Heights – great.
Rock of [...]
Traveling Thursday: 6 Columbus, New York
To make up for the London trip that got canceled last week and to take a much (much!) needed break, I am off to New York today for the weekend. So I’ll leave you with some pictures of where I’ll be staying:
I’ll take the extra long tufted leather couch and the Knoll Platner table, please.
Groovy.
Is [...]
Today’s Crush: Lizzie Allen + Guest Blogging at Seattle Homes Magazine
Lizzie Allen’s wallpapers with scenes of London are just so fun and as someone who’s developed a big case of anglomania in recent years, I like them more and more every time I see them.
And I just saw this adorable pillow with her royal guards pattern for sale at Liberty:
Add this to the list of [...]
More Chair Reupholstering Options
So I think this is how I’ve decided to reupholster those chairs I showed you last week:
This chair is exactly the same style – down to the carvings in the wood – and it would fit in perfectly with the black and white color scheme I talked about yesterday.
I’m 99% sure (today) that that’s the [...]
Back to Black and White
Thank you all so much for the sweet comments on Friday. It was a tough weekend and your thoughts and comments really meant a lot to me so thank you. Everything is going to be okay so let’s get back to decorating!
As soon as we bought our new house, I made up my mind that [...]
We Interrupt This Program
Sorry but there’s no post today because I had to run off to take care of a family matter. I was also supposed to be in London right now so that trip’s been postponed too. It’s nothing serious and everything is going to be fine but it is bad timing.
I’ll see you back here on [...]
A Reupholstering How-To
As a follow-up to my post yesterday, Raina is kindly sharing her reupholstering tutorial with us today. So without further ado . . .

Hello Delicious Dumplings! I’m Raina, the snark goddess from If the Lamp Shade Fits. A few months ago, Ally asked for my help with an upholstery project and I was happy to [...]
Future DIY Project
Remember I said I was getting a lot of furniture from my parents? Well, the lot included a couch and love seat that my mom really doesn’t want me to alter and I’ve been strongly discouraged from doing anything to the antique dining set but she’s okay with my painting and reupholstering these two chairs:
Aren’t [...]
The Office
Did I tell you about our movers? They started out awesome. They hustled and hauled everything into the house super fast and everyone was happy. Then they started unpacking. Oy vay. Let’s just say, it would have been better if they had left everything in their boxes. Despite my best efforts to organize everything ahead [...]
Bare Beauties (Light Bulbs, That Is)
I think I have looked at a thousand light fixtures of every possible style in the past month and I began noticing (and loving) bare light bulbs more and more.
I think they really work well in large clusters:
Daniella wrote about this recently and included this beautiful photo:
and we had both seen this gorgeousness that nkp [...]
Candidates for Kitchen Pendants
I want to replace the two pendant lights over the kitchen island as part of my lighting overhaul and I think I’ve narrowed down the choices to two styles.
First is something classic but industrial like these:
The second option (and on the complete other side of the spectrum of course), something frilly and fancy like these:
and [...]
Traveling Thursday: Onboard Essentials
I got a couple of requests for a post on my favorite travel gear and I’m more than happy to oblige because I’m a total geek when it comes to anything travel-related and could talk about this stuff for days. In fact, I have so many favorite things that I’m going to have to break [...]
Worn Leather Chairs
Given my chair addiction, it’s hard to believe that there could be a lack of seating around here but we could actually use an armchair in the family/keeping room. We just have our gray couch in there right now and that’s fine when it’s just the two of us but when my mom and another friend [...]
Orange Crush: Orange and Gray
Orange Crush is back! If you’re new to my blog, Orange Crush is a monthly collaboration with my pal Christina at Down and Out Chic where we share with you our love of the color orange. We took a little break while I was busy with my move (thanks for your patience, Christina!) but we’re [...]
It’s the Little Things
Hi, everyone, how was your weekend? Mine was busy, busy, busy. Last week, I strained my back so I had to rest it and got very little done around the house. I was determined to make up for it this weekend, having forgotten that Ikea + Home Depot in the same weekend = one grumpy [...]
