Design

One of the easiest ways to make a room feel “off” is hanging artwork too high. In fact, it’s probably the design mistake I notice most often when walking into a home. The good news? It’s also one of the easiest to fix. Today we’re talking about one of my favorite design rules: how high […]

Design Rules: Picture Height

Two pictures hung at the correct height for proper design.
Dining room table decorated with paper Christmas trees showing the family Christmas tree in the distant room.

This is probably the most I’ve ever decorated our home for Christmas thanks to a Tour of Homes I participated in as part of the Officer Spouses Club here on Camp Lejeune. Our home was fully decked out in lights and tinsel by the first weekend in December! It was a lot of work, but […]

Refinished federal style maple dresser

I’m almost embarrassed to admit how many dressers I’ve looked at over the past year. Upon moving into our new home last summer, I knew I wanted an entryway dresser.

(A clean boys bedroom is rare, friends!) Easton got the bigger of the […]

Mussel shell wreath with red white and blue ribbon hung on front door

Years ago, I pinned a mussel shell wreath I saw from Martha Stewart but could not for the life of me find a tutorial on how to make one. So finally, this year, I decided to make my own! I ordered 75 mussel shells from Coastal Glamour on Etsy. The shells showed up just days […]
