As I mentioned last week, we did a mini makeover on our master bedroom. I’ll have more “official” photos to share soon, but here’s a first look!

I’m sharing my unintentional “formula” that I didn’t even recognize I tend to follow until recently: 5 pieces that together can make a standout room. They are identified in the above. Curious? Check out the post to find out more!

I’m so pleased to announce the launch of a project I’ve been working on from the very beginning with the branding and identity, to conceptualizing and styling the photo shoot, and designing a multi-faceted eCommerce website! Let me introduce you to Lulu & Georgia, a home decor site full of rugs, furniture, and accessories carefully curated from around the globe…

Between being sick all week, and my year-old iMac deciding not to turn on (still), I somehow made it through the photo shoot yesterday. Don’t ask me how! Definitely one of those state of delirium situations where you just do what you gotta do to make it through.

I feel so fortunate to have met actress Autumn Reeser at an event earlier this year. Come to find out, she’s also a mom, a blogger, and a woman that like us, is really striving for that work + life balance. We’ve kept in touch since, but during our recent iChat (she is in Hawaii filming her new show “The Last Resort”*) it really solidified for me that she is smart, savvy, and has real-life depth to her. That depth is the reason she got together with friends Jenn Wong and Ashley Fauset, and started Move LifeStyle.
As I prepare the “looks” for my photo shoot on Thursday (eek!), I keep going back to this palette…


As promised…sharing my pinboard and breaking down how I tackled it in 5 steps…

You know when you come across a blogger with that “eye” but with the added bonus of being truly, genuinely sweet? That is our guest today, Albertina. On Mimosa Lane she shares the pretty daily, and even went as far as to mail some pretty to me for my pin board project! I mean really. Gorgeous inside and out, and amazing style on top of it all!

Browsing my new OBSESSION, The Design Files, I came across the Melbourne home of designer Lauren Seeman and her husband. From the stunning art collection and rich textiles to the jewel tones and contemporary touches, it’s comfy chic at its best. Drool…
