Dramatic Comfort. It sounds more like a unicorn than a thing that actually exists, but it does! I find that a lot of us struggle to mix metals and textures. We are scared of what the outcome will be so we play it safe and use one material throughout… which inevitably leaves…
Plucked From the English Countryside
We finally moved from the tearing down of wallpaper to the actual demolition of the bathroom. It just took us FOREVER (or two months if you prefer the less dramatic reality) to decide what we wanted. We talked about Art Deco, we talked about bathroom art, we even chatted bathroom personalities as…
Throw Pillow in Never Before Seen Parts of Our House!
It’s not just a pillow, it’s a THROW pillow. It’s changing lives and proving that a dream and a whole lot of gumption can make a real difference. Every now and then I meet someone who is so utterly compelling in his or her passion that it is simultaneously contagious and compelling. If you haven’t…
In STORES!! Nate Berkus Target Spring 2017
I don’t know about you, but I generally don’t need to search hard for an excuse to take a trip to Target. Recently we took the kids over there after dinner on a school night and just walked up and down the aisles, shopping the clearance end caps. We came home with…
A Beautiful Slice of Renovated Paradise!
We have a video tour of our listing in Marietta and just thought you might enjoy seeing it! I hope to continue posting more of these videos with listings and would love to know what you think! My passion is for helping others find their way home, whether they are buying,…
Reform AMERICA! It is HERE!
Reform America, and no, I have not jumped the shark and started talking politics. We are talking about Reform, the amazing Danish cabinet company that has jumped the Atlantic. If you love design but you don’t have loads of cash (or even if you do!) Reform offers affordable cabinet solutions that are…
Want a Behind the Scenes Peek?
Life has been coming at us pretty quickly the last year or so. It seems like just yesterday we were packing up our house in Copenhagen and selling off all our things. There have been a LOT of really sad days. So many, actually, that I haven’t dared to mention it because…
White Walls Aren’t Just for Ice Queens
It’s really not fair. Film makers have despairingly used white walls as the backdrop for ice queens for so long that few people can look at them without thinking, “Cold-you-know-what.” But you know what? Don’t be duped. White walls aren’t just for Ice Queens. They are for very nice people, too. So how…
Do you know your Bathroom Personality?
It’s not exactly the type of thing you ask on the first date, but get into a relationship that involves renovations and you might just find yourself wondering why you didn’t find out your other half’s bathroom personality from the get go. Just imagine asking, “Excuse me. Before our first kiss… or even…
100% Vitamin Chic, a camel ride, and New York…
It’s not exactly an every day craving, but seriously? Doesn’t this make you ache for fresh squeezed orange juice, a camel ride, and a bustling New York intersection? The Spring collection from Kate Spade is making me simultaneously crave Morocco and New York! It’s pure genius and since I’ve already e-mailed a link…
Whoa. Joanna Gaines Magnolia Pier 1 Collection
Oh, yeah. You read that right. Joanna Gaines Magnolia Pier 1 Collection. It’s really happening. Our favorite Fixer Upper has now made her products readily available to more adoring fans. I mean, not that any of us Wacophiles wouldn’t love to visit THE Magnolia shop. But sometimes life gets in the way….
If Nature and Minimalism Had a Baby :: Raw Simplicity
I’ve never jumped off a cliff before. I consider myself to be a calculated risk taker. And somehow cliffs never factored in to that. But last year we took the leap of a lifetime and rather than plunging into a new foreign adventure, which was our norm, we landed in the US….
