What began as a simple click through from an art gallery email quickly turned into a deep dive down a rabbit hole of gorgeous interiors styled with incredible photography. Originally I thought I’d share the art I was drooling over – since my art gallery days, art features have been a regular thing here – …
Sunday House Crush // Contemporary Mountain Charmer
I look at homes on Zillow every day. Every. Day. It doesn’t help that I get no less than one million emails from Zillow to prompt me to go look at one more house in the area… I can’t help it. It’s an addiction and Zillow is to blame. Sometimes I’m delighted by the houses …

Home // Family Lake House Renovation Update – Lake Arrowhead
Hi Lovecats! Just thought I’d share a little update on the family lake house we’ve been renovating for the last few months, though it’s not all that exciting, I still wanted to share the process, which of course, has taken far longer than we all anticipated.

Home // A New Lake House and Renovation Project!
LOVECATS! I’ve missed you! Life has been unsteady… April was a dumpster fire but the flames have been extinguished and I’m working on rebuilding and rising from the ashes.

Office Decor // Help Me Choose a Rug for my Office
I knew when I moved into my office that I would eventually want to invest in a rug or two since I’m not entirely 100% happy with the rugs I’m currently using. I have a natural color faux cowhide rug in the sitting area and a blush pink real cowhide under my desk. I actually …

DIY Home Decor // Faux Stone Hand Sculpture, Statue, Art, Jewelry Holder

DIY // How To Paint Light Switch Covers to Match your Walls
When thinking about painting dark walls in my new office, switches and plugs must also be taken into consideration.
