Y’all, when it comes to collecting, I’ve been known to get a little— shall we say, passionate?—about certain things.
Confessions from a love affair with Collections, starring PJ's apartment!
Landscape paintings. Globes. Dansk candleholders. And for the past year or so, I’ve taken to yarn art. Yes! (more…)
A rug, some throw pillows and a gnome, oh MY! Y’all know what that means?
Another shopping trip for Disa’s house is about to take y’all there! (Video may take a bit longer to load, ’cause we’re serving y’all hi-def!)
Be sure to check out the I Want That page for to-buy details on the items featured in the video. Holla!!!
Textile-tastic!
Just when y’all thought you were on the absolute threshold of being taken there by way of textiles, I’m gonna serve up some more! Behold, I give y’all the Salon! (more…)
The time has come…for y’all to be TURNED OUT by way of Textiles!!!
Fabric-liciousness!
It is with absolute decorating joy that I share these living room pics of my recent Textile Turnout. As a refresher, several weeks back, I went on an adventure to update the look of my living room & salon, by switching out all the textiles. Click past the break to see the rest of the amazing living room turnout results! (more…)
Don’t y’all just love waking up on a random Sunday morning with the spontaneous notion to paint a room– Coffee? Bagel? 10” black & white horizontal stripes in the entryway? Easy! Actually, y’all, painting our entryway had been on my master punchlist for our Patrician Court apt. ever since moving in. I’d just been hemming and hawing about it, b/c it couldn’t just be a ‘typical’ paint job, no no. I wanted stripes! BIG BOLD horizontal stripes! Stripes aren’t really the devil’s work, y’all, they just require the right ingredients: a lot of perseverance, a laser level, painters tape and good paint. Oh, and a tireless husband who knows better than to say no!

Boring before... yummy after!
What, y’all don’t have a salon in your house?! No, not where y’all get your cut, color & mani-pedi’s! No, No. This is the room- at least in our house- where lots of creative musings manifest: our wall of books, our desk, my prop closet. It’s also got the sweetest sitting area, for all that salon ‘conversation’ that goes on. Like our lengthy & informed discussions on Pillow Pet being a pillow AND our pet! Amazing!
Yet despite all the dynamic creative activity in this one space, it too needs a Textile Turnout! Here’s what’s going down:
Y’all, I’d barely unpacked before I was already shopping for fabrics for our new apartment. Cause y’all know, if there’s ever a legit excuse necessary to give yourselves a home makeover, it’s a move into a new space. A lot of folks work themselves into a full-on panic thinking that buying all new furniture is the only real way to update the look of their homes. Not true. What they need is a Textile Turnout!!

Y’all, there’s been a lot of glamour going on in my world recently, so please forgive my lapse in posts. The biggest is that we’ve moved into a new apartment, which y’all will be learning a lot more about right here… holla, new decorating hijinks!!! The other is the completion of our first episode in a new web-series I’ve developed called, Style Rehab. If the title doesn’t convey it enough, it’s a show about stylish ways to rehab, or rehabilitate, one’s space. Our first episode features Andrea, who’s in dire need of some craft corner style love. Watch and enjoy and of course, I welcome your comments! And if any of y’all are in need of a serious intervention, Style Rehab is taking on new patients!
