Colorfully Chic Resin Tulip Table Makeover

Colorfully Chic Vintage Tulip Table Makeover
Among the stacks of moving boxes and piles of "where should this live" I sit on the floor with a plate in my lap.  I recently moved and I'm in desperate need of a dining room table.  November's "The Fab Furniture Flippin' Contest"  Showstopping TOPS sponsored by "ETI Envirotex" came at the perfect time.  Thanksgiving dinner picnic style was not an option I was willing to entertain.

How to Build a Set of Sawhorse Legs

The past year has been one for the record books!  I traveled to seven different countries, married the man I couldn't image experiencing life without and now call the lovely city of Seattle home!  It is time to get back to work and what better way than by building a new set of sawhorse legs to get the furniture restoration off the ground (sorry I couldn't help it) and growing in a new city.

Italian Home Decor Treasures

After a 3 month adventure in Rome I am back with some special treasures!  Having to be selective on the items traveling back to San Francisco with me was hard.  There is a massive amount of amazing finds and sadly my suitcase was only so big.  Rome has markets everyday, the contents ranging from touristy trinkets to vintage treasures.  My favorite was the Porta Portese Market that took place every Sunday outside of my apartment and was a wonderful 1.5 miles of Italian goodies!  Read More

DIY Roman Shade

7/23/2016

I was a little under the weather this week so I kept the outdoor exploring to a minimum.  I spent my time recuperating and thinking about how to make our new apartment feel like our home.  As I sketched our new space I began to think about the improvements I made to our San Francisco home.  As I didn't venture out much this week I thought I would share how I transformed a cheap metal blind into a custom roman shade.

A Day Exploring Rome

7/15/2016

Just off the boat in Rome and I want to explore every nook and cranny, but I'm acting like a man on the run.  The heat here is so intense that I have to cross the street every time the sun moves, just to stay in the shade.  The temperature is in the the high 90's which makes full days of walking the streets searching for hidden treasures exhausting.  I managed to put on an outfit that didn't completely stick to me and left the house on a new adventure!

Hello From Rome!

7/8/2016

We have made it to Italy and are settling into the Roman way of life. We found a cute little place to call home and after 2 weeks of being off the grid our internet finally got installed.  Saturday posts are back and I have lots of exciting things to share! 

Our first week in this beautiful city was playing tourist and apartment hunting. I have lived in big cities and in plenty of small apartments, hello 8' x 9' room in a Manhattan 5 floor walkup, but the set-ups here are giving New York City and San Francisco a run for their money.  The buildings are beautiful and you can feel the history all around you, but some of the places we looked at were so tiny you would literally hit your head on about 7 things just walking around.  Read More...

Our last week in Seattle was a Memorial Day Weekend Extravaganza, there was family, friends and oh so much food!  Our weekend started on Friday night with Karaoke Bingo at the local Senior Center.  We weren't lucky enough to jump up and yell BINGO but we did have a great time laughing and singing along with those brave enough to hop up on stage and belt out a classic or two.  Read More
