Every October I get this itch to turn my house into something straight out of a horror flick. Maybe it’s the smell of pumpkin spice in the air or just the thrill of spooking neighbors, but Halloween decorating is one of my favorite “sports.” And let’s be real—half the fun is seeing trick-or-treaters get wide-eyed...
WHAT'S NEW:
If you’re tired of buying a fresh pumpkin every year just to watch it slowly melt into a puddle of orange goo, let me introduce you to concrete pumpkins. Yes, they weigh a ton, take forever to make, and at some point you’ll wonder why you didn’t just buy a $10 plastic one at the...
I used to think fall decor meant piling pumpkins everywhere and calling it a day. Then I started layering lights—fairy strands in jars, lanterns on the steps, tiny “fireflies” tucked into wreaths—and the whole place felt like a cozy little movie set. Every fall I flip the house from “bright and breezy” to “cozy and...
I’ve always loved how the smallest changes in a room can set the whole mood. Fall decorating is one of those things that sneaks up on me every year—I’ll look around in late September and suddenly feel like my home needs more warmth and texture. Glassware and vases have become my secret weapon for seasonal...
So, every year we go to the beach and, like clockwork, we return with souvenirs. And no, not the cheap little trinkets you buy in a shop. I’m talking bags of rocks, sticks, and things that probably looked magical through a child’s eyes but now just look like… sticks. This time we came home with...
I used to think bathroom renovations meant ripping everything out, new floors, new vanity, the whole nine yards. Then I discovered the magic of a shower tile accent wall. One wall. That’s it. Suddenly, the whole space feels different. When I added a bold navy tile wall in my small master bath, friends literally thought...
So here’s the thing: summer was ending, and I wasn’t emotionally ready. The solution? Smuggle summer straight onto the dinner table in the form of… fruit-shaped napkin holders. Because why settle for IKEA plastic when you can have clay fruit yelling at guests to wipe their mouths? I started with watermelon because, well, it’s the...
If you have a staircase in your home and there’s some space under it, make the use of it! It can be turned into a sitting zone, a reading nook, a wine cellar, a working space, a kids’ play space or even a powder room! I’d like to share some ideas on the latter as...
Planning a boys baby shower is one of those things that starts out feeling simple—“we’ll just throw up some blue balloons and call it a day”—and then suddenly you’re knee-deep in Pinterest boards, debating whether woodland foxes or nautical anchors make a better vibe. I’ve been there, and I’ve also been the guest walking into...
Sometimes you look at your garden and think, “Yeah… it needs something.” Not a gnome. Not another store-bought plastic planter that fades in two summers. No — something bold. Something weatherproof. Something that will survive both a thunderstorm and that one neighbor’s unsupervised toddler. So I made a planter. From concrete. Shaped like a raspberry....
