Today I am spilling the beans and giving away all of my secrets! I have had so many requests from buddies wanting to know where I shop, how I found out about antique shows, and where to look.

DIY Architectural Sconces
I have a confession: I am addicted to architectural salvage. There, I said it 🙋🏻♀️ I just love old chippy pieces used many years ago and love even more finding new ways to use them. During my typical Saturday morning thrifting I found these cute little architectural pieces for $10 each. I loved how they complimented each other but weren't the exact same size or design.

They looked so realistic and I had ...

Neutral Fall Table Setting
I am definitely no Martha Stewart, but I do love hosting get-togethers at our home SO much. Ever since we moved into our home, I have been itching to host little brunches or parties since it was almost impossible to do so at our apartment. Hosting baby sprinkles, birthday brunches or anything in between allows me to not only share the love with the people around me but also to use some of my creativity in the process. Now let's get this straight...these little get-togethers are rarely fancy (in ...
