Last time I left off I hadn’t shown any progress on my hallway.
Well I’ve painted it ‘Chocolate Froth’ with a steel blue stripe at head height. I didn’t like that blue at first, but with the art hanging I like it a bit more.
I moved my art around, finally hung up my Wilco concert poster, and framed...

I’m back! I bet you didn’t even notice that I was gone for nearly two months, did you?
It’s a rainy day and Brentan’s out of town and I am here thinking of things to change at home while I’m alone. My biggest peeve right now? My boring blah white hallway. See exhibit A:
I like the prints that are...

How to clean cast iron
My favorite pans to cook in are my cast iron skillets. I use them everyday. They are the most versatile and indestructible cookware that I know of. They are the best non stick type of pan as well…better than any of the most expensive teflon type pans in fact. They also add a bit of iron to our fo...

If you’ve read any of my posts, you know that I love vintage and vintage-inspired interiors, especially mid-century and California ones.

This picture from Potterybarn made me gasp yesterday. “Eureka!” I said to myself and ran to my basement to fetch a brass hook that I bought at an estate sale last summer.

Yes. I know. It’s been over a week since the last post. Bad blogger. And honestly, I don’t really have a good reason for not posting.
Except I’ve gotten into the Downton Abbey craze. It has sucked me in and taken up hours of my time this past week. It’s been lovely. And full of intrigue.
