Gallery Wall HOW TO!
Any large, empty wall space is calling out for a stylish and quirky gallery wall. Whether it's the empty space over your couch, or your bed, or over a desk: a gallery wall can serve as an expression of images that inspire you or surround you with pictures of the ones you love.
Juju Hat DIY
I love juju hats. I love saying "juju hat." They are those fabulous round feather pieces you may have seen around. They are actually African tribal headdresses. The texture and dimension and color make them a fabulous focal point!
Family Valentines Dinner at Home
I love love. I love spending time with my main man. I love our kids. I love making ordinary moments special. I love making holidays special.
Pizazz For Your Holiday Table
Sure, most of us are busily getting pictures with Santa and wrapping presents and general Christmas merriment, but let's take a minute to give the holiday table a proper nod.
Party Tent DIY
I have had several inquiries about the tent I made for Anna's Vintage Camping Party. The party was such a blast I want to recreate it every weekend and just roast different things over the fire (a girl can handle only so many s'mores, can I get an 'amen'!? No s'more!).
Video Series: Books…You Can Read Them Too!
People have strange relationships with books. Some people house them in shrines and stroke their spines in the moonlight. Others scroll on their electronic devices and only interact with the bound word when they dust the stack of old text books in the corner. But when it comes to decorating, to me, books are an essential element.
Video Series: Shopping and Styling in Chattanooga
Welcome to my inaugural video for my styling and treasure hunt video series! Each week I will take you on a trip to shops all over the southeast looking for gold, er, awesome tsotchkes and such. I will share my designer tips on what to look for and where to use them.
How to Create a TV Gallery Wall (and why I don't trust people that don't watch TV)
I respect people that say they don't own a TV, but I am 98% sure we will not be good friends. I need to relate on some pop culture level. I do not need you to know the details of the Kardashian's last sisterly fight or the names of all the Housewives, but a knowing nod and disbelieving gasp about House of Cards or Parenthood or Brooklyn 99 (the list goes on) goes a long way.
Announcing…. (Drum Roll, Please)….
I am beyond EXCITED to announce my partnership with Christina Wedge Photography in a new venture! We are the new Victoria Secrets models! Jokes.
Dramatic Dining: How to Interpret the Inspiration
Many of us have pin boards and folders filled with photos of gorgeous homes we want ours to look like. But taking that next step of translating a glossy magazine into our humble living room feels, well, daunting. For me, it feels like my job. And I LOVE it!
Color Blocking
"Color Blocking" is a fancy term for painting a portion of something. It is a high-impact trend in fashion and home decor that could not be easier to pull off. Today I'm making gift bags for an upcoming party but the same technique can be used on everything from flower pots to legs on furniture to wall art.
Gallery Wall Tips and Tricks
Who doesn't love a great wall of artistically displayed art and photography? When doing a gallery wall, the trick to making it look like a "collection" is to have a unifying element.
Some Christmas Scenes
I love natural Christmas decor: evergreen, holly, trees, and pinecones.
