Chandeliers
With Christmas right around the corner, I find myself wanting to throw elaborate, giant dinner parties… with candles and chandeliers hanging above our heads, twinkling the night away. However, I do not have the time, money, space or energy to do this. So I’ll settle for looking at photos of pretty chandeliers and hope that by next Christmas I will have found the perfect chandelier to repaint for our house. I’d love one above our dresser, or in our mini-bathroom... Read More
Candles
When people tell me “We’re decorating with loads of candles!”, I sometimes feel a little queasy. Candles are great, don’t get me wrong, but they’re often done in a way that’s very traditional, and a little promish. (Promish: adj. Something that resembles your high school prom, but not the good parts. Only the bad parts.) Recently I’ve been lighting a lot of candles in our house and it got me to thinking about ways to decorate with them.... Read More
Globes + Maps
I’ve always been one to collect and gather leftover maps from garage sales and estate auctions. I have a series of old topographic maps that are of the surrounding counties, around Lancaster. I have an old world map from my old neighbors house – she was an elementary school teacher in the 40s and used it in her glass room. Anyway – I’d love to actually display these maps in my house. I also really want a map that T.J. and I can use to “push-pin”... Read More
Graphic Rugs
I’m on the lookout for two very large, graphic rugs because both our dining room and living room could use a little “softening”. We have a very hard (old) house. No carpet. Plaster walls. And it certainly doesn’t help that my design style prefers clean, modern, hard lines. So yea, I need some softness up in this house. Rugs, pillows and fabric accents. I fell in love with a striped IKEA rug awhile back, but I have yet to be able to find it in any of our... Read More
Yarn Wreath
It’s the time of year where a new wreath on your door can make you happy about actually having to leave your house. I am a homebody for sure. I love being at home. But, coming and going with a cute little yarn wreath on your door makes it much more bearable. I’ve made a few yarn wreaths and have a few tips: + You’ll need more yarn than you think. + Have your hot glue gun ready, so that you can wrap smaller pieces (several feet) at a time and glue down the two...

Kitchen Hutch
I’m going to paint our china hutch sometime in the next few weeks so I’ve been looking online for inspiration. I pulled a few of my favorite color combos for this post. I think mine is going to be yellow, since our dining room is grey, I think it’ll look lovely! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Read More
Spoons
“Myyy spoons too big!!!” (Hahaha.) Anyway… I haven’t been intentionally collecting spoons, but I realized the other week that I have a lot more vintage spoons than I thought I did. I really want to hang them up in my kitchen or dining room – and am planning on using the images below for my inspiration. Spoons are very whimsical… especially when dipped in colorful paint! I can’t wait! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Read More
