My dishtowel drawer was overflowing, so naturally I needed to make more. Our current kitchen is a good size for an apartment, but it mainly consists of cabinets and appliances – not much room to decorate. That’s when I turn to my dishtowel drawer. Kitchen linens are an easy way to add a pop of […]
I’ve always had a soft spot for edible arrangements, I mean come on, they’re delicious. But they aren’t always the most attractive choice for a centerpiece, plus they can get a bit pricey. Simple solution? Make one yourself! A few years ago my mom and I had attempted our first DIY edible arrangement and we […]
The weather has been absolutely perfect over here on the East Coast this week and it has me feeling everything spring – open windows, soft florals, outdoor dining and of course, Easter. Now, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; I’m a sucker for any and every holiday tradition. (Need proof? See here, here, and here). Dying […]
I LOVE having fresh flowers in my apartment. It’s something Erick will never understand with his rationale of – “what’s the point? they’re just going to die.” But, they make me happy. Whether it’s a full vase of blooms or a small teacup with a single flower they’re guaranteed to brighten any room. My favorite […]

I’ve never questioned where my knack to create things came from. Growing up my mom made all of my Halloween costumes, if something was broken my dad would fix it and our homemade gingerbread house parties were a hit with all of my friends. It was no different when it came to decorating the house […]
As usual the holiday season is approaching at lightning speed. Thanksgiving is just three days away and I swear summer was just a few weeks ago! How did that happen?! Now while I don’t have any tricks to slow down time, I do have a few tips to assist in your Thanksgiving prep. I’ve mentioned […]
I’ve wanted to take on this globe project for a while but have had a difficult time allowing myself to actually paint on a globe. I just think there are certain pieces that are best left in their original state. That is, however, until I found this globe in the clearance section. It came with […]
When we moved into our apartment, one of the first DIY projects I completed were these Mason Jar Chalkboard Lids for kitchen organization. I have half gallon mason jars all over my kitchen storing everything from coffee to flour, clothespins to popcorn (lots of popcorn). They would also be great to use as office and […]
