My love for inexpensive jewelry knows no bounds! If it's colorful, or sparkly, or chunky, I can't pass it up. And jewelry is always my favorite souvenir from my travels. I love that every time I wear the necklace Scott bought on our honeymoon in Greece, the ring I bought at a Christmas market in Madrid, or the elephant bracelet I got on our safari in South Africa, they are tangible reminders that keep the memories of those adventures alive. But I've learned that jewelry, like many other ... View the Post

Interchangeable Beaded Watch Bands Make a Quick Gift
I was shopping at JoAnn Fabric a while back... or, more accurately, I was browsing JoAnn walking up and down every aisle. Anyway, I came across a display of watch faces and coordinating beaded watch bands. They were cute, but none of the watch band options really fit my style. I was about to walk away empty handed, but then I saw it... a black and white stripes that remind me of Kate Spade, and a half price sign! How could I not buy a black and white striped watch face for only $10?! But I ... View the Post
{seasonal style} 4th of July Stars & Stripes Candle Holder Centerpiece
I've never before made any 4th of July decor - it's just not a holiday I decorate for. But recently I found some long thin tealight holders and I just couldn't get the thought out of my head that three of these together would be perfect for creating a patriotic centerpiece. If you've ever shopped at IKEA, then you know that it's not a store you can just pop into quickly to pick up one thing. Going to IKEA is more of an event, but it's an event I enjoy every single time because you ... View the Post
{decorating with style} Modern Metro with a Touch of Urban Funk
Last week, Ashley, at 7th House on the Left, blogged about how she used the Home Goods Stylescope Quiz to finally put a name to her personal style. I've taken a lot of these "what's you design style?" quizzes in the past and the results always seemed too generic, but after reading Ashley's post, I decided to head over to the Home Goods site and give Stylescope a try. And boy am I glad I did! The Stylescope quiz is quick and simple. You just pick the five photos that most appeal to you from a ... View the Post
{one room challenge} Week 4: Getting Down to Business in the Boys’ Room
It's week 4 of the One Room Challenge and I finally have some real progress to report!

And just like that we've officially entered the "it get's worse before it get's better" phase of the ORC. If you don't know what I'm talking about, let me quickly bring you up to speed. We're transforming the nursery into a room for our 3 and 5 year old ... View the Post
{style inspiration} 9 Fun Quizzes to Find Your Home Design Style
How would you describe your home style? Can you put it into words? This week, I joined a group of 20 creative and stylish bloggers for the My Home Style blog hop, and we were each challenged to describe our personal decor style in just three words, and even though I feel like I know my style pretty well, articulating it is harder than you would think! I finally came up with: Modern. Graphic. Family. I explained what that means to me and what it looks like in my home in yesterday's ... View the Post

Welcome to another addition of "My Home Style." Today we're talking Christmas trees. As you may already know, I describe my personal style as MODERN. GRAPHIC. FAMILY.

Layering Canvases for Bigger Impact
One of the most common mistakes in interior design is scale, especially when it comes to art. It doesn't matter how gorgeous a piece of art is, if it's too small for the space, it just won't have the intended impact. Often times, people try to solve this problem by simply hanging numerous small piece of art on a big wall, but unless they are grouped together to create a well designed gallery wall, lots of too-small photos or pieces of art just end up looking cluttered and don't solve the scale ...
