It’s the first weekend of the New Year! Did you make any resolutions? I typically don’t because I always end up breaking them. This year, I’ve set intentions instead, such as exercising more, not getting involved in unnecessary drama, and spending more time with family. I think those are all doable and manageable so I…

Interior designers predict that white kitchens will fall out of favor in the coming year. I’m not sure I agree with that, especially when the white kitchen includes a refreshing pop of color. Today’s white and green kitchen by Kindred Interior Studios proves that point, in my humble opinion. There isn’t a single thing I…

Once you see this ultimate cozy cabin by Snake River Interiors, you’ll want to curl up in it all winter long. Although it has exposed dark log walls, there’s enough white-painted paneling to keep it from feeling dark and foreboding. This guest cottage should be called the cabin of contrasts. The rustic dark logs stand…
You’ll never believe what I did Christmas day. I wallpapered the bathroom! Since we already celebrated our family Christmas in Galena, it left the day open for anything. And I chose to hang wallpaper after hubby and I exchanged gifts. It’s so nice to have that project done, and it’s a little ironic that my…

Also, I’m ready to start painting and papering the downstairs bathroom. I find myself leaning toward an English style aesthetic and as luck would have it,…
We all have our favorite collections or items we like to display in our homes. It’s those little touches that give a home warmth and personality. Large wall clocks have always appealed to me. Maybe it’s because they conjure memories of overnight visits to my grandmother’s house, listening to the comforting tick-tock of her vintage…
