Today I am joining Annie and Mary Ann for our Sunday favorites. Let's take a look at the Nordstrom Sale, Jenny Rose Innes and more. JENNY ROSE ...

Fixer Upper Bedroom Reveal
Hi everyone. I am finally sharing some of our new old house. If you are new, we moved from our 5,000 sq ft homeinto a charming rental (that needed love) that we have owned for over 25 years.

Our new home is just over 2,000 sq feet with an additional office and 1/2 bath off the garage. It is all in progress, but our bedroom is nearly done, so I am sharing it as-is. I have ordered a ...

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 ...
