Since Spring isn’t really doing its thing quickly enough for me, I am seriously craving green: I love what plants do for rooms. Sometimes when I look at magazine rooms and cover up the plants/ flowers in them, they seem pretty lifeless. There’s something about a pretty explosion of green (no matter how small) that I […]
March 30, 2011I’ve always wanted climbing vines on my house. I remember reading a book when I was a little girl that pictured a red brick house covered in ivy and how I wanted it. Yeah, I know, it’s bad for the house, but I love it anyway. There’s something so incredible about a wall of green […]
March 29, 2011The Mad Hatters arrived today for my room in the DC Design House and I am in love: {My first Mad Hatter Wing Chair with a taupe velvet in front.. remember flash makes furniture look bad but people look better 😉 } I had recently seen pictures sent from the factory of the chairs and […]

(It doesn’t die… Or maybe it’s already dead?? anyway, love it.) We sent the boys off to school today in my favorite color: And I […]
March 18, 2011You might remember that I have had a pantry in my kitchen covered by oatmeal-colored painters’s dropcloth curtains: When we moved in it was a gaping hole that exposed a funny little pantry. It held a LOT of stuff but in the most unattractive, unorganized, RIDICULOUS manner: {scaaaaaary} We’ve lived something like the above photo […]
March 15, 2011The wallpaper is up in my DC Design House Room and I’m so excited!! This grasscloth by Seabrooke is so natural & textural. I am a bit in love with it. The trim is painted in Farrow and Ball’s Dimmity which is a beautiful soft cream. (Farrow & Ball is donating the paint for the entire […]
