Home Design Trends Traditional Home Magazine As I mentioned in my last post, it's been a whirl wind lately. Last weekend I attended a demimar for the paint company Heirloom Traditions which I am a brand ambassador with . I'll be sharing more on that soon. But a few days after that event, I was checking my email and I had an invitation to attend an event hosted by Ethan Allen and Traditional Home magazine. I knew that this would be an event sharing home designer trends, I sort of had to pinch myself when I saw this in my email. (This is a sponsored post, all opinions are that of my own, see disclosure policy) This event was short notice, but I jumped at the chance to attend. My friend Jennifer Rizzo was also invited to this event. We were asked to bring a friend along, since it was ... View Post

Ethan Allen Grand Reopening Event In Skokie Ethan Allen is one of the most luxurious but livable furniture lines. The quality of furniture is amazing along with the style. When you're purchasing furniture that you want to last for years in your home, high quality is so important. You don't want to replace things every couple of years because it was cheaply made. (This is a sponsored post, please read disclosure policy) You know that I'm all about budgeting, but some things are better bought for quality and not so much for the price. I know that in our next home our furniture will be our main focus rather than the accessories as I'm doing the "less is more" look in my home. I'm planning on purchasing a slip covered sofa, along with a few side chairs. I'm not sure if we'll end up ... View Post

Outdoor Space That Has Beautiful Style My outdoor space has just been given a super quick update. And for very little money I gave my outdoor space style. Oh, and I wanted to thank you all for sharing your thoughts and ideas, they were super helpful. If you missed it, you can read about that HERE. (This post contains affiliate links, please see disclosure policy) I was thinking of purchasing a new table and chair set, but you've convinced me to wait and use what I already have. So, I went out and purchased several cans of Krylon Color Master paint in white satin. My brown chairs really sucked up this paint. It took two cans of paint for each chair. I also painted my green bounce chair using this same paint, this took a can of paint. My next dilemma was what cushions to get ... View Post

Home Decor Ideas Less Is More Home decor Ideas using less is more is the new way of thinking in my home. Not sure if it's the fact that I want to downsize in a few years, or that I'm getting lazy and don't feel like cleaning all the stuff in my oversized house. Several weeks ago I held my annual vintage sale at my home, and I sold most of my crap stuff. And when I say most of my stuff, I'm not talking about things I was holding on for the sale. But pieces that were actually in my home being used. Do you remember this photo of my  over stuffed garage? ( Sponsored post, and may contain affiliate links please read disclosure policy) My plan in the next couple of years is to downsize, I'm hoping it's my husbands plan too. So, I've been slowly purging and getting rid of my ... View Post

Painting Kitchen Cabinets Painting kitchen cabinets is a great way to update a kitchen. Even if your kitchen cabinets are really old and outdated, painting kitchen cabinets will bring new life to your kitchen. Most people think of white cabinets when they think about painting kitchen cabinets, but your cabinets don't need to be painted white. I chose white because of the style of my home, but you can choose any color that you'd like. Since I receive this question the most, I thought today I  would talk about the two ways of painting kitchen cabinets. Both take just as much work in my opinion, although I didn't realize it when I first decided to paint my cabinets.
