Justin Timberlake and Estee Stanley Launch...
Hi all. I hope everyone had a great weekend. Guess what? Justin Timberlake and Interior Designer/Stylist Estee Stanley are launching their new affordable home furnishings line HomeMint. Justin and Estee curate the pieces; I love how the new catch phrase for an online store is “curated”. It makes it seem as if they are searching the planet from continent to continent to find the most rustic hand...

Lunch at the beach
Hi friends. How is everyone on this lovely morning? I hope all is well. I’m feeling pretty accomplished today.

The Frame Game
Hey guys. How are we doing today? I’m still on cloud nine from my mention (quote) in The Washington Post yesterday.

Well with my last hour and a half of being a famous blogger I’ve decided to talk about me, just kidding. Gallery walls are the topic of...

Tray Chic

Anyway moving on, today I’d like to talk about trays. Trays are extremely versatile and they serve many functions. I’m currently on the market for two trays at the moment. I’d like a large tray for my coffee table to hold a few...

A Little D.I.Y. Never Hurt Nobody…
Hey friends! How is everyone doing today? I’m just dandy ☺. I took some time out to look at Pinterest and of coarse I got sucked in. I absolutely love Pinterest. I came across a very easy D.I.Y. project using upholstery nail heads. This is a simple little something you can do to up the style quotient on an existing piece of furniture.
This TV console was ikea hacked. It is the Besta shelf unit...

A Last Word About “Domino quick fixes”
Hi Friends. I’m back from my Spring Break/Easter/Passover jaunt to New Jersey. It was great!

I want to give a special shout out to H&M for my new summer wardrobe and lastly R.I.P. to my credit card that served me well but died of a shopping overdose. LOL. O.K. kids, on to the task...

So, I’m in Wegman’s with my daughter Sophia and we turn onto the magazine aisle. I reach...

Hi friends. I’m sorry that I’ve been an absentee blogger for the past few days.

Things I’m excited for: The Jersey Turnpike
Not This Jersey Turnpike
This is The Jersey Turnpike I’m looking...
