Antiques roadshow wasn’t the only thing we did in Richmond last Saturday. We also grabbed some Dixie Donuts on our way to the taping and then after, we hit up our fave BBQ place, Buz and Ned’s. We also stopped in at The Decorating Outlet, which carries Shades of Light remnants and seconds. I wasRead more
Last Saturday, I attended a taping of the long-running PBS television show Antiques Roadshow. I’d been a fan for a long time and I think I’ve seen every episode that’s ever been available online, but the trip still held some surprises for me. I’ll start with how a day at Antiques Roadshow develops. First, youRead more
I’ll start with a spoiler: I’m not suddenly a millionaire. However, we did have a blast on our trip to Richmond on Saturday to see the taping of the long-running PBS television series Antiques Roadshow. Stupidly, I thought this would be a one-and-done kind of post. Remember how I thought I’d get the office makeoverRead more
Follow my blog with Bloglovin I’ve been buying on Etsy since the early days. I remember starting to see references to it on Design*Sponge and Apartment Therapy around 2007, back when they ran features on “The Best of Etsy”. I haven’t seen those in a while though so I thought I would resurrect the conceptRead more
Not everything works, ya know? Take this bar cart. From a distance, it looks fantastic. In fact, up close it looks pretty darn good. But really really close-up? It’s got a few imperfections.

I’ll show you what I’m considering andRead more
On Saturday, Doug and I and a couple of friends made the drive out to beautiful, historic Middleburg to the Middleburg Summer Antiques Fair at the Hill School. Not only was it a beautiful setting, the dealers at the show were beyond sweet to us. We arrived early and a few of the dealers wereRead more
Audrey over at Putting Me Together is hosting a link-up next week. She’s calling it One Piece Many Ways. Audrey challenged her readers to take one piece of clothing from their closets and style it in at least two ways. Since I love repurposing things, I figured I’d give it a shot. It’s not likeRead more
It’s been a while since we did a Field Trip Thursday so this week I decided to head out to Prince William County, Virginia to take in their thrifting scene. I wasn’t sure what to expect and honestly, I was pleasantly surprised. I found one real gem and two other really solid stores. A warning:Read more
We finished the office makeover about a month ago and still love it. It’s hard to pick a favorite part actually. The blue walls? The orange geometric curtains? The trimmed-out ceiling shade? It’s like trying to pick a favorite book. That said, it was still looking a bit unfinished due to a lack of accessoriesRead more
