Our guest room was the very first room in our home to get a makeover after moving to Connecticut six years ago (I can hardly believe it's been that long!). We left family and lots of great friends behind and wanted to bribe them with a nice place to stay if they came to visit so made a beautiful guest room a priority. Other than a short-lived bedding update last year (my youngest daughter snagged the new guest room quilt for her own room so I had to revert back to the original bedding), our ...

Throw Pillow Storage: How To Organize Your Pillow Stash!
I'm the first to admit that I'm a total sucker for a pretty pillow and that suckerdom has resulted in me having a pretty impressive pillow stash.

Plans & Ideas for Our Master Bathroom Addition!
It's been almost a year since we wrapped up our kitchen renovation and I think I finally recovered enough from the stress and time-suck of that I-never-thought-it-would-be-finished project to finally start planning our master bathroom addition!

Not too surprising since our house was built in the ...
Ten Favorite Spring Essentials (That You Don’t Need to Leave Your House to Get Your Hands On!)
Spring is always a hectic time of year but this spring has been a little more insane than usual by throwing some out of state college visits for my oldest daughter into the mix. In addition to flying out for those two trips, we were away for a week on spring break, celebrated my oldest daughter's birthday, and will be celebrating my husband's birthday, my youngest daughter's birthday, Mother's Day, and our anniversary - all within a two month span. These are all wonderful things but they're sure ...

My Six Favorite Finds from Drew Barrymore’s New Flower Home Line!
This past December, I was invited to New York City to preview a new home decor collection that Walmart launched in March. They were keeping details of this new line under pretty tight wraps so I didn't have a lot of information going into it - I knew that I loved the look of the collection mood board so it would be worth my trek into the city to see more but I had no idea that Drew Barrymore was the one behind it. The preview event was in a loft that was in a very unassuming building so when we ...
