My very stereotypical '90s youth involved a lot of stressing and manifesting (which I now call stressifesting) about how and with what to adorn the walls of my bedroom sanctuary. Was it going to be full of posters displaying Beck's "does ...
This Sunday marks the opening day for many, many farmer's markets across the Pacific Northwest. I was fortunate enough to find one to go to last weekend, though the actual produce wasn't as glorious as it is in the height of harvest ...
Those of us who have embraced the chalkboard paint and chalkboard stickers everything is a chalkboard trend with open, dusty arms can attest to how much harder it is to draw and have cute handwriting with chalk than when we were ...
Target is having a major sale on everything related to and for your home. Which is why it's called The Target Home Sale, I guess. The sale deets: Get up to 30% off of home delights, plus take $10 off your $50 ...
TJX asked me to use their three stores to come up with gifts for people in my life that I don't know. TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and Home Goods are ideal sources for gifts that are special and interesting, but are ...
TJ Maxx challenged me to redecorate and refresh a room in my house. I picked the music studio and, with $150 and a fear of home decor, I set out to conquer the challenge. ...
Big frames can make a plain wall into a historically relevant one. The more gauche the frame, the happier a girl I am. I used to like plain, geometric frames for my photos and artwork, but these days I crave ostentatious. ...
As if the surprise of H&M's online presence wasn't enough, upon investigating the new playground that is the H&M website, I'm pretty sure the entire country collectively gasped when they came upon the H&M Home Collection. You'd think that with ...
So often, I'll be flipping through one of the many, many catalogues I get every month and I'll come across some product that really strikes me with its design or color or sparkle-factor. I'll fall in love with it immediately, and ...
Have you ever had a tomato out of a garden? Like, a real, grown-by-people-who-water-them-by-hand, organic tomato? If you have, you probably know that there is an enormous difference between a garden-fresh tomato and the kind of red, perfectly-round orbs you ...
Whenever I move out of the inner-city and get a place with a yard, it is going to be covered in hanging lights. You can hang them, mount them, drop them (I mean, from the ceiling on a cord...) - ...
So often, small frames - suitable for desks and shelf-space - come in the most unappealing styles. You'd think, because the size of photo they accomodate is the size that the vast majority of personal film cameras produce - they'd ...
One of my weaknesses is definitely independent design. Combine that with good design and pop culture references, and we've got a wallet-threatening situation on our hands. I am size-able nerd, and growing stronger every day. That being said, I can only ...
There is nothing better than having good, spicy candles burning, a warm living room, and nothing to do. That is true luxury, I swear. Hence, this palette on Design Seeds definitely struck a chord of nostalgia - and immediate need. ...
Looking at Gilt is definitely not something I foresaw myself doing today, but I couldn't hold back once I caught a glimpse of these killer signs by Artwork Enclosed. If you're into some off-beat, very vintage style home decor - ...
I think I may actually be one of the few eternally-broke girls who has never been a waitress. Have you seen the show, Two Broke Girls? Well, my patience threshold is about the same at Kat Dennings' character, so even if ...
Kitchen stuff: it's my achilles heel. I can't escape a Le Creuset, Williams-Sonoma or Crate+Barrel unscathed. When I lived in Chicago, there were vintage malls everywhere, along with a CB2 brick & mortar store - both of which tested my ...
I've been a fan of Jonathan Adler since I first saw his desk set when I was in high school. I had no business coveting a $30 set of pencils and stationery, but every time I passed it in the ...
Candles are the best, am I right or am I right? There's no question that the darkest seasons of the year become instantly cozier & warmer when you introduce candles into the mix. I like scented candles, myself, but I ...
I'm not a vegetarian, though I have been in the past, and I don't have any kind of weird hatred for animals... but I can't help loving the look of taxidermy & mounts. I don't know what it is about ...
