Reviving Roadside Finds
Today is all about bright baby shelves I helped a girlfriend paint for her new baby's room. She wanted to add a touch of color and to create a reading space for when the baby gets a little bigger, so we started out with a cute denim "Bean" chair from Pottery Barn Kids and some plain wood...

Okay, so I didn't quite finish over the weekend (it was super busy and this little thing called "school" keeps getting in the way...) but I finally finished my wreath project last night. After trimming up a bunch of succulents, I had to leave them for a few days to callus. I got so busy... Continue Reading →
Stumbled across this baby on the Southern Living site and can't wait to make one for myself. The best part about succulent wreaths is that they're living, so you don't have to replace them all the time! They sell at Williams Sonoma and Pottery Barn for upwards of $100, but in true rehabber fashion, I... Continue Reading →
Here's the thing...I am SO TIRED of my living room. It is really, really pretty. I have a beautiful sage green couch that you just sink into, a gorgeous hand me down paisley goldish-colored chair. I have a green and gold rug with gorgeous vine designs with accents of burgundy and the tiniest bit of... Continue Reading →
Sometimes the hardest part of reviving a piece is picking the finish/ color or fabric that you want to use. This roadside find was in awesome shape, so I'm leaving the finish for now (with a few little touch ups here and there) but I may eventually white wash it. That being said, I love...

The key seems to be patience, which I severely lack. And since... Continue Reading →
Remember my post about knowing when to quit? Apparently I don't. And that's not always a bad thing. Here's a picture of the dining set finally finished (and I'm so, so happy with it!!!) The neutral gray legs and chairs balance out the bright orange and Tiffany Blue. I'm sneaky and took a Tiffany & Co. catalog... Continue Reading →
I've come across two different two tone pieces in the past month or so... and think they're totally going to be the new thing. It's really a lovely look for a guest room, for a guy's room, or if you just want to make a statement. Best of all? It's a totally easy update for rehabbers... Continue Reading →
I finished this baby today. In. Love.
A great way to spend a Sunday afternoon in Los Angeles is at the Fairfax Flea Market. In the parking lot of the high school on Fairfax and Melrose, this market has live music, good food (tacos, crepes), and lots of stalls with all kinds of goodies. Of course my favorite items are the ones... Continue Reading →
