Consoles with Character
I love a beautifully styled console. .It can be a statement piece that sets the tone in an entry. It might even reveal a little bit about the personality of the owner. It is a great place to display collections of things. In this post Consoles with Character, I am featuring some of my own designs and some of my favorites. I originally wrote this post back in 2012. It is still making its rounds around social media, missing photos and all. I decided to rewrite it with some of today’s ...
Design Ed-Michael Del Piero
I had promised a fashion post on resort wear (my monthly collaboration with Kim and Sarah), but Kim just got back from Hawaii and needed a couple of days to recoup. I thought this might be a good time to squeeze in a Design Ed post. I have long been enchanted with designer Michael Del Piero's Instagram feed, but her work is just so good I decided it was time for a feature. Welcome to Design Ed-Michael del Piero. DESIGN ED-MICHAEL DEL PIERO Michael del Piero Design has outlets in Chicago ...

Small Space Coffee Table Solutions
Hi everyone. I am sorry I have been MIA here and on social media. I have been crazy busy trying to get this place habitable! If you follow me on Instagram you can keep track of what is happening. It is coming together slowly but surely! I originally published this article in 2015 while searching for a coffee table for a client. This post has received a lot of traffic, and the ideas are still relevant, but the pictures and examples were outdated. I thought it was time to give it a rewrite. ...

Simple Flower Arrangements You Can Create from Your Garden
Today Annie, Mary Ann, and I are joining some of our favorite bloggers for some indoor garden & floral inspiration. I love to garden, but I am not much of an indoor gardener. I do currently have three indoor plants that are still alive. Two (standard olives) that will probably have to move outside when we move this week. I am hoping I can find a place for the Split Leaf Philodendron that I have in my entryway. It is actually healthy and I have kept it alive for about six months a record ...

Creative Ways to Decorate With Mirrors
The fabulous thing about mirrors is they can make small spaces feel larger. They can be used to create a focal point, or they can blend in and allow the rest of your decor to pop. If you place a mirror behind a light source it will reflect the natural light in a room. Mirrors create the illusion of space so they can really help make a small room feel bigger. To achieve a personal, collected look, which of course is my favorite, shop yard sales and thrft shops for interesting frames that can ...
