Who does not love to start out the New Year feeling calm, organized and serene? It's hard during the holiday weeks to be disciplined and do all those New Year's chores you don't want to do (not to mention taking down the holiday decorations, so depressing!!). But I...
You know me, I love some industrial chic! And add in some of the cozy warmth of Christmas and you have interiors to dream of, forget the sugar plums! Some people love strict industrial interiors but to me they feel cold and clinical sometimes, so I love warm...
Oh branchless tree!! We are making do with our Home Depot artificial special this year, and I don't mind at all not having to water it or clean up its needles, but take artificial one step further this year with Christmas branches! Ha ha I'm such a minimalist at...
Does everyone remember the Tolix craze of the early aughts? Tolix was everywhere, and while it has lost some of its newness, I'm still a huge fan! We have tolix chairs with a distressed wood dining table, and tolix barstools in our modern kitchen. My husband thinks...
No matter where you live, you can enjoy a beautiful beach wedding, courtesy of some thoughtful artistic details. Real live beach weddings can be spectacular but they can be expensive if you don't live close to a beach, both for you and your guests of course, and...
Living in Vermont, where even though we've had a very warm and sunny Fall (and it's finally sweater weather and I am so happy!), it can get extremely bleak and gray during our long winter months. Â Winter often extends into June here, and it can feel like forever...
Happy Mother's Day to all the mamas out there! We are so grateful for you! So whatever it is that makes you happy: latte, self-care, hot yoga, kombucha, sleep in (bottle of wine?!), do it! Grateful to see all of these women raising these wonderful, strong ladies these...
My mom has the most perfect salad dressing recipe and I've been meaning to share it with you! It's an easy, simple vinaigrette that gets better as it sits a few days. My husband had some high blood pressure issues lately so we're going to try to eat more salad! Best...
Happy Holidays! I'm posting a few of my favorite tablescapes I found over at the Happily Ever After blog (she has 27 of them, so if you need holiday ideas, head right over there now!). It doesn't have to be all red and green at Christmas, I'm trying to think outside...
Happy Shop Small Saturday! Shop Small has a double meaning this year, we all know we don't want to clump on top of each other in large, crowded stores, so not only does Shop Small offer the opportunity to shop more distantly and safely in smaller spaces, it gives you...
Can it just be 2021 yet?! Ha ha I actually am about as excited for 2021 as I was for 2020 which is to say, not much. But it's something, right? We're already planning our two-person Thanksgiving and Christmas in, might as well look to our own little tiny New Year's...
"What gets measured, gets managed" – Peter Drucker. Every small business looking to thrive requires a SaaS (software as a service) model. This is how Netflix and Disney Plus replaced the need to buy CDs and DVDs. And SaaS did the same to the user licenses. The one...
Lol, I jest! Ha ha this is a PG-rated blog there are plenty of other places to discuss that, ha ha! But think about it! You spend at least half of your life probably, in your bedroom, and probably a lot more time lately! I have a few musts for my bedroom: lamps (not...
After a long, dreary spring, everything is greening up here! I'm a big fan of decorating with indoor plants and succulents, it's a great way to bring the outdoors in year 'round. I feel like this requires some planning, you can't just go out and get a bunch of plants...
The wildflowers are in full bloom up here in Vermont: forsythia, lupines, and ya'll, Vermont is apparently known for its wild peonies, can you believe it?! Apparently the climate is great for them, next year, I promise you, a garden full of peonies in my own backyard!...
