You will probably not see as many new posts in the next week as I get ready for my vintage chic sale. This is the sale I held in my home last summer. I transformed my garage into a shop, you can view the transformation HERE. I also shared what I learned from my first home sale, you can read all about that HERE and HERE. For this  year's sale,  I have already placed an ad in the paper, and I am advertising on Craigslist. One of the lessons I learned last year is that I should have advertised more. This year I am on top of that. And as you can see my garage is much fuller than it was last year. Most of the pieces are from my personal collection. If you've seen in photographed on my blog or in a magazine, it's in my garage. So why am I downsizing and purging so much? I shared ... View Post

So thrilled to be a part of the seashell tour, and share this easy diy seashell art. This time of the year for the most part, no matter where you live you are thinking about the beach and seashells. When I was asked to be a part of this tour I had so many ideas running through my head. Since I am making some changes in my screened in porch I thought I needed to add a little art in there. So I pulled out an old screen that I had not been using. I love the chippy patina on this old screen, but I wasn't crazy about the color. As you may or may not remember, I am adding color to my porch. So I pulled out my paint and painted this Chippy Blue from my signature paint line. I just added one coat. Next, I pulled together seashells that I purchased through Micheal's crafts. I believe ... View Post

This post will either bore you to death or you will enjoy it. Today I am not sharing any DIY or decorating tips. But, I am sharing a personal story, something I am very passionate about. Disney I guess it depends on whether you are a Disney Freak like I am. If you are then you will most likely continue reading. If you're not, then you will probably not want to continue reading. One of our favorite places to vacation, and my happy place is Disney World. Why is Disney World so special to us and why am I such a Disney freak? Well I have always been a Disney fan,  ever since I was a child. We lived in Orange County California, which is very close to Disneyland. I was lucky to have visited Disneyland quite often in the four years we lived in California. But, I have to be honest, I ... View Post

Yes, you heard that right, more features and I'm writing a book. Talk about getting to the point of a blog post early. This has been the year of magazine features, and I truly, truly honored and blessed. Probably five months or so ago Casa da sogno contacted me about doing a feature. This lovely publication is from Italy and is very similar to our Romantic Homes magazine. The exciting part for me is that I photographed the photos for this publication. This was the March issue, it took awhile to get it delivered here. Since it's no longer available to purchase I am sharing the photos here. I don't know if I shared this or not, but I am Italian, Hungarian and Irish. So it was really exciting to get published in an Italian magazine, even though do not speak it. I really wish I ...
