Welcome to Hooked on Fridays, a party I host at the end of each week to celebrate the things that make us happy. I’d like to wish all of my American readers a Happy Independence Day. Thanks to the 4th of July, it just doesn’t seem like summer without some red, white and blue. I [...]
I could look at room makeovers all day long. The talented Kristin Drohan of Boulevard Interior Design has a fun and informative design blog, and it has a page of her “before and afters.” Here’s one that I thought was really creative in a boy’s room. Check out what she did with that closet door:
My [...]
If you’re a lookiloo like I am (and I have a feeling you are!), then you’ll love the website Lookiloos, which offers “a peek into the style and stories behind every door.” They featured this house recently, which underwent a major remodel, more than doubling its original size from 2,000 square feet to 4,400. I [...]
I love getting a look at other peoples’ work spaces, don’t you? When I ran across graphic designer Cathe Holden’s studio in Petaluma, California, where she works on projects for her company Home Grown Logos, my jaw dropped. What a colorful and creative space! She graciously agreed to let me share these photos of it [...]

Welcome to Hooked on Fridays, a blog party I host at the end of each week to celebrate the things that make us happy! This week I’m hooked on having fresh flowers in my house. I used to save them for special occasions, but at the beginning of the year I made it one of [...]
Melissa at 320 Sycamore is hosting a “My Favorite Paint Color” party today. I think that’s a great idea, because aren’t we all searching for good paint colors to try?
Paint colors are always tricky for me. I’ll like something one day, only to hate it enough the next day to want to paint something new. [...]
This is where I wish I was sitting right now–on Susan’s charming back porch. When I saw it on her blog Between Naps on the Porch (which is one of my favorites!), I swooned. I had a screened porch at my last house and miss it like crazy. We practically lived on ours in the [...]
When I saw this photo, I wondered how you’d carry on a conversation with anyone sitting on that other sofa, way over there. This is what designers mean when they advise you not to line your furniture up against the wall (I recently heard it called The Spin Cycle Effect when everything is clinging to [...]
I get a lot of requests for posts about woodwork and crown molding, so I asked Tim “The Remodeling Guy” to give us his professional thoughts on the topic. Take it away, Tim!
I have an abnormal fascination with woodwork. I’m a hard core believer. Are you? If so, you’ll love this post. If not, I’m [...]
