Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend and looking forward to a wonderful week. With Father’s day being this weekend, I thought we would dedicate this week to the amazing dads in our lives. We will explore some fantastic man caves, the perfect color of slate grey and how to organize your garage. Enjoy the rest of your week!
Hi there! It’s Monday again! Those weekends go by too fast…
Last week, we celebrated family and what’s family without FOOD! Cooking, sharing recipes, hanging out in the kitchen…food brings us together! So this week we will be checking out some inspiring kitchens, sharing some recipes and giving you tips on how to create an organized and beautiful kitchen and pantry. Don’t you just love this quote too…so true!
I’d love to hear from you – what is your favorite food or dish?
Have an inspired Monday!
Hello! How was your Mother’s Day weekend. I hope all those moms out there got the royal treatment! Since last week we celebrated Mothers, I thought it would only be natural to highlight the joy of family this week. Our homes are witness to everything our family experiences – our triumphs, our struggles, the arguments and the laughter, the meals shared around the table and the festivities of holidays. Our home not only tells the story of our family it becomes a part of our family. So why wouldn’t you put your love and effort into creating the most beautiful environment you can, right?
I just love this quote. You can buy the print via here. What kinds of special memories does your family have within your home? What traditions have you created while living there?
Happy Monday! How was your weekend? I’m back home after a long visit with my daughter, in Germany. She just had her first baby and it was such a delight to spend time with her and watch her blossom into a mother! She’s a natural! I couldn’t be more proud of all four of my girls and the way they’ve grown into such wonderful, caring young women.
As you may well know, Mother’s day is just around the corner, so I thought I would dedicate our inspiration for Monday to Moms – the hardest working ladies out there! In most cases, mothers make the house a home and everyone who lives there benefits! I love this quote and I’m pretty sure my kids feel like this too…
So…what are you doing for your Mom this Mother’s Day?
Hi all! How was your weekend? The sun showed its face again and revealed all the gorgeous color that Spring time brings! There’s no denying that color is inspiring! Color evokes emotion, creates a mood and demands a reaction! Color is powerful.
Look around your home or better yet, in your closet – what colors are you drawn to? Why? What do those hues do for you? Now, look around your house…do you see these same colors? If you don’t, maybe you should. Don’t be afraid of color. Start small…maybe a pop of your favorite green in a throw pillow or a lovely dose of that beloved shade of pink in a throw. Pay attention to the colors you love and include them into your decor. It could make all the difference and break up the ever predictable beige that many of us stick to.
What’s your favorite shade?

Hello there. How was your Easter weekend? I hope it was wonderful!
Spring is such a magical time and life is blooming all around us! So what better time to get inspired by nature! Artists, poets, and designers draw inspiration from nature constantly. Entire rooms can be built around the color palette of a landscape or a favorite flower. So when in doubt, look outside…what colors and textures are you drawn to in your garden? What is your favorite time of day? Do you love the rich jewel tones of the rainforest or are you more drawn to the deep blues and turquoise of the ocean? Open your eyes and invite the outside in…
Have an inspired Monday and check back in with us tomorrow to explore the beauty of greenhouses!
Hi everyone! How was your weekend? I don’t know about where you live, but here in Portland, we have had a mix of rain and sun that has brought on fresh Springtime blooms. Bright spots on the landscape – vibrant yellows of the daffodil, purple tones from the sweet crocus and deep blues and pinks courtesy of the hyacinth! Color is coming back to our rainy city, so this week we celebrate the beauty of flowers! Their magnificence has inspired fabrics, paint colors, furniture design and entire rooms! Stay tuned as we give you tips on arranging the perfect Spring bouquet and even ideas on planting your own flower garden!
Get ready to be inspired!

Hi all! How was your weekend? Hope it was a good one!
It was fun exploring the home office last week! We deserve a beautiful place to do our work, don’t we? My office desk sure does get a workout, but I gotta say, the other “desk” in my home that gets plenty of attention is my vanity! A girl needs a gorgeous place to get ready and put on her face before stepping out into the world after all…
So, this week we will be focusing on a little glamor and the importance of a lovely vanity. Whether it’s a spot in your bathroom or a separate table, it shouldn’t be overlooked…
because you just have to agree with Coco Chanel that…

Yes indeed! Have a FABULOUS Monday!
Hi friends! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend. Sometimes, in the middle of these rainy months, it can be hard to stay focused. I have to up the coffee intake and remember to be disciplined in all my endeavors. I love this quote! It reminds me how lucky I am to love what I do; to have the passion to fuel my determination and drive. Stay inspired and you will find boundless energy to achieve your dreams!
Now, go have a GREAT week but do check back in with us tomorrow for a fantastic collection of beautiful home offices!

Hi Everyone! How is your Monday treating you? We are busy here at the studio with so many exciting projects to work on. I probably don’t have to remind you that Valentine’s day is tomorrow and our “LOVE” theme will continue throughout the week. You’ll experience a gorgeous spread of dreamy, romantic bedrooms, enjoy a decadent recipe, and we’ll explore tips on creating stunning floral arrangements so you can celebrate all week long! Plenty of design LOVE to go around!
We LOVE this simple but powerful statement over the bed. A wonderful way to wake up every day!
Have a beautiful week and do something special with someone you love.
