sharing the chic, the fulfilling and the audacious...
I have a fetish. For closets. Love them. Any opportunity to look in a beautifully designed closet and I am there. I would give up a kidney for a giant closet. Okay. That isn’t truth. But, I really do love them!! So, when I discovered these photos from Erin Fetherston’s closet I was a very… [Read More...]
Our living room is constantly transforming. Details that make it more personal. I would describe it as contemporary organic (—or something equally sophisticated). Here is a look at some of the elements… This bowl served as the reference for the living/dining room’s color scheme. A cozy throw over an armchair against semi sheer drapery. This… [Read More...]

(Don’t forget to enter the 80 Acres Body Care Giveaway!) If you’ve been following along, then you know, this Christmas season has been all about compromise—specifically in the decoration department. As Lukus and I have battled between the whimsical and the chic, we have attempted to negotiate choices that please us both. One of… [Read More...]
Although Lukus and I have been married during the past 2 Christmases, we have never had our own tree. Needless to say, we are excited to set up one this year. Yes, it is fake. But I live in an apartment with beautiful hardwoods and a landlord I want to keep happy, so it will… [Read More...]

You know, when there are lightning bugs flitting through the air and it is… [Read More...]
If you’ve visited NoH recently you know: I am BEYOND excited that spring is here. So when my friend Nadine asked for help planning a baby shower, I couldn’t resist a spring woodland theme. Think Bambi, but without the sad parts. I figured this is both seasonal and gender neutral, making it more accessible no… [Read More...]
When Lukus and I were looking for our first bedding set as a couple it was challenging. We knew we wanted something with both pattern & color (our bedroom is white walled and white carpet and white bedding would have made it feel like we’d been locked up in a psychiatric hospital), something gender neutral… [Read More...]
Yesterday I shared some of the holiday elements Lukus and I have introduced into our home. One of the projects I haven’t had the opportunity to create is a white light wreath. The project is simple. Begin with a cutout cardboard ring. If possible use sturdy white poster board or paint the cardboard white. From… [Read More...]
Awww, trimming the tree. It is unquestionably one of the loveliest pre-holiday activities. There are so many different directions to go with holiday décor: traditional, kitsch, sophisticated or glamorous (just to name a few!). Everyone has a different idea of the perfect Christmas decor. Take Lukus and myself. I love a stylish/ chic Christmas of… [Read More...]
If you are hosting Thanksgiving this year: do you realize it is TUESDAY and the holiday is THURSDAY. Doesn’t that just incite heart palpitations?! Hopefully by now the guests are invited, the menu is set and groceries are purchased (seriously— if you haven’t already, go to the grocery store now! I just had to fight… [Read More...]
