I came across this backyard project by a New Jersey-based design firm - EAC Designs - on Houzz. Excuuuuuuuse me

I have a TON of paperwork that I need to keep organized. From real estate contracts, to decorating contracts, plans, etc, you get my point. I have a TERRIBLE habit of creating piles, like the kind that make your husband crazy because he can't find his stuff because it could possibly be in your pile kind of piles. :-| So, on my last trip to Atlanta, I of course had to do a quick run through Ikea's marketplace to snag a couple of items. This Kvissle magazine rack caught my attention. I brought it home and

Good morning! I'm excited to introduce Abby Manchesky from Abby M Interiors. Abby was actually one of the first designers I followed when I joined Instagram. I cannot remember how I discovered her, but I was glad I did. She has a great eye, and I enjoyed seeing her projects! One of my non-design "likes" about this woman is that she does it all with two boys in tow! (Ha, sounds like me.) So, grab your cup of joe, and join me for a fun read! Q: Did you study Interior Design? If not, what did you do previously, and

Good morning! I'm excited to introduce another amazing guest to my "Guess who's dropping in for coffee" series. I had the pleasure of meeting Julianne Taylor of Taylor Burke Home at The Southern Coterie Summit this year. She told me about her boutique furniture company and that her studio was located in Mount Pleasant, SC. What?!!??! I live in Mount Pleasant, and I had no clue! So, after a fun lunch when I learned so much about this amazing woman, she allowed me to come over, interview her and snap some photos of her beautiful pieces. So, grab a cup

Remember the other day how I mentioned I may have gotten a little spray paint happy? Well, here's another project that I worked on. This one has been on my to do list for 6 months and I wish I had a reason or excuse why it took me so long to do this easy project but I don't. First, find inexpensive glass vases. Hobby Lobby from time to time will have 50% off glass vases and you cannot forget the trusty Dollar tree which is where I got the vase I used. Then I used painters tape

I discovered Celine and her amazing blog Aquahaus during the One Room Challenge. Instant love for her awesome style and fabulous Austin, Texas, life. When she agreed to join me in my "Guess who's dropping in for coffee" series, I was stoked. I was even more in awe and excited when I read her answers below. She kinda rocks! So, grab your morning cup of joe - or whatever you choose - and join me for a good read! Q. You're in the medical field? What do you do? I'm an oncologist (cancer doctor). I treat patients with cancer, primarily breast cancer. Q.

So, this past weekend, I may have gone overboard a little with my gold spray paint. I was just in the mood to paint something so I did! I actually surprised myself with how much I ended up liking my last minute, wing it, DIY project. Come check it out! First, Let's talk about the DIY planter that I attempted to create. I began with a flower pot from lowe's, some gold and white spray paint. I began by spraying the container white. I then used painters tape to cover the planter to spray the lip and the bottom.

It's time to meet Roxy Te! I met this little, butt kicking, full of energy (y'all thought I had a lot of energy she runs laps around me) amazing woman at an event here in Charleston! She happens to be the brilliant designer behind Society Social. If you haven't heard of her line before (where have you been!?!), swing by Charleston Revisions where you can see many of their pieces. Grab a cup or two and find out more about Roxy! Here's my Q&A with her: I'm in love with your new arrivals. Do you have a favorite? It's always so

I was driving down Coleman Boulevard in Mt. Pleasant one day and slammed on the brakes when I saw that one of the old banks was turned into a home decor store? Whaaaaaaat? You know I stopped and checked it out. That's how I discovered Creekside Interiors. How would I describe it? Simple

I am super excited to introduce my first guest on my new series, "Guess who's dropping in for coffee?" Meet Laurie Cooper of Charleston Revisions. She owns my favorite mid-century store in Charleston. Laurie always introduced me to people as her "first customer". It makes us chuckle when we share our story. I found Laurie when I discovered Annie Sloan Chalk paint in a store in Greenville, SC. I asked the owner if it was carried in Charleston, and she said someone was going to start selling it soon; here's her number. So, I called, and she and I
