Best Hairbrush

January 29, 2016 Leave a Comment

It’s been a long time since I have done a hair post. It’s hard to imagine that this somewhat sad looking hair post was the second one I ever put up on the blog just over three years ago. I’d like to think we have come a long way since then both visually and verbally…. read more

House Progress: Before and Afters

January 21, 2016 2 Comments

It’s been so fun watching the house be transformed. It’s a slow and methodical process, but I kind of like the pace because it means we aren’t rushing and making mistakes. I honestly love every paint color, fabric, and decorative placement we’ve chosen so far. I give full credit to the talented ladies of Henry &… read more

Film: Trainwreck

January 12, 2016 Leave a Comment

Is it Oscar material? Probably not. Is the cinematography up there with that of A River Runs Through It? I don’t think so. Would you ever want to watch this in the presence of your parents? Absolutely not. But is it hysterically laugh-out-loud, pee-in-your-pants funny? YES! I didn’t know who Amy Schumer was before I… read more

With that in mind it’s not often that I feel inspired by hotel decor when working on my own home. Hotel interior design is usually less colorful and less layered than what I envision doing in our… read more

I’ve been dreaming of a romantic trip to Napa for years and it just hasn’t fit in the schedule to date. Based on the places I have checked out online I have… read more
