Have you met Menswear Dog? He's a four year old shiba inu living in New York City with a penchant for all things style. Bodhi's owners, David Jung and Yena Kim, are both designers that have fun dressing up their pup in mens' clothing, and their Tumblr has gone viral. In fact, Bodhi has found so much fame that he's on his way to having his very own canine fashion line. I first discovered Menswear Dog when I was searching the internet for inspiration for Beckett's menswear themed Vintage Preppy ... View the Post

First Birthday Mustache Bash!
I know probably every parent feels like the first year flies by, but I really can't believe that Cooper is one. ONE! It seems like just yesterday that I was announcing his birth here on the blog, and showing you precious photos of Beckett meeting his new little brother for the very first time {those photos still bring tears to my eyes!}. A couple of weekends ago we invited all of our family, and our friends with kids near Cooper's age, to help us celebrate this milestone birthday with a ... View the Post
{five minute friday} Washi Tape iPad Cover
Happy Friday, friends! I almost skipped Five Minute Friday this week because I was in NYC all week scoping out new trends and finding style inspiration, and not at home working on projects. But as I was unpacking my bag I remembered that one of the exhibitors at NY Now {a trade show of the latest innovations in home decor} had given me a large roll of "interior masking tape," so I decided to use it to give my iPad a really quick makeover. The iPad that I often carry in my purse just ... View the Post

Designing a Comfortable, Modern Guest Room
Remember a couple of months ago when I showed you the very colorful design plans I was working on for a client's hip rooftop deck? Well that same client also had two extra bedrooms that he wanted to transform into stylish and comfortable spaces for welcoming guests. Today, I want to show you what we're working on in the larger of the two guest rooms, where we're even managing to squeeze in a little work space as well. When I toured the home for the first time, the room was literally a ... View the Post
DIY Belted Lampshade
After having so much fun drawing inspiration from menswear when decorating Beckett's new "big boy" bedroom, from the argyle wall and the houndstooth rug, to the neckties on the play tent and the belt wall shelves and drawer pulls, I hit a road block when it came to the lampshade. I thought about covering a shade with a suiting fabric - like pinstripes or herringbone, but I was afraid a pattern would be too busy when with paired with all of the various art above the dresser. I finally ... View the Post

How to Add Legs to an Ikea Bookshelf
It seems like just about everyone I know has an Ikea Expedit bookshelf {or it's new replacement the Kallax} somewhere in their home. These bookshelves are very basic, which makes them very versatile! The price is low, but the possibilities are endless! I've seen them used {very stylishly} as dining room banquet seating, entertainment stands, room dividers, office storage, playroom storage benches, changing tables, laundry room storage, and bar/buffet storage, just to name a few. We bought ... View the Post

Today I am guest posting over at Pretty Well Organized on the topic of organizing memories. My husband and I will be celebrating our seventh anniversary this summer, but I still feel like our wedding was just yesterday, in part because we are surrounded by wonderful memories of that special day throughout our home.

Phew! Halloween is over and I'm breathing a big mom sigh of relief that the last minute DIY costume details all turned out well. I don't know why I always put off the costume making to the last minute and create extra stress for myself. Will I never learn?

Now is definitely the time to get started before the craziness of Thanksgiving dinners and Christmas parties takes over the ... View the Post
{style inspiration} From the Set of Melissa & Joey
My husband thinks I'm a little crazy, but when we watch TV, I'm often paying closer attention to the interior design details than I am to the storyline. And when I'm flipping channels and see a gorgeous room, I'll often stop and watch just to check out the details of the layout and furnishings. That was the case recently when I ended up watching an episode of Melissa & Joey for the first time all because I caught a glimpse of a to-die-for couch! via I've seen a lot of button tufted ...
