Dwell :: Decorating with Mid Century Chairs
”We shape our homes and then our homes shape us.” ~ Winston Churchill Writer and art historian Cara Greenberg coined the phrase ‘Mid-Century Modern’ in 1984 – it was the title of her seminal book about what has since become a global and iconic design movement. The label is to-the-point and no-nonsense, much like the straightforward interior style, which championed notions of functionality, ease and modern simplicity.(Source: AnotherMag.com) For years now, my obsession with mid century chairs is a bit of a joke in our house. I have a hard time walking by a mid century chair in a thrift store, garage…

7 Entryway Design Tips and Ideas
1). Landing Spot. This could be a console table, bench or a Japanese Tansu or even dress of drawers. Figure out how much space you have in this area and go from there. 2). Storage. We store our dog’s lease, keys and knick knacks in a felt IKEA basket I found a few months back. At the time I wasn’t sure what I was going to use it for but I love the contrast with the Japanese Tansu. Think about what you plan to use it for and buy the size you need. IKEA has a ton of containers on the cheap! 3). Seating. I found this cute felt…

Create an Indoor Oasis
Lately I have been really into gardening. I find it relaxes me and I love seeing my little garden bloom! And now I’ve moved onto bringing more houseplants into our new place. I love having plants in each room and I’ll share with you some pictures of our new plant additions. I almost feel like we need to start giving them names like Earl, our Staghorn Fern which I picked up at an estate sale over 15 years ago. They estimated that “he” was already 40 years old. Being so old, you can see why I thought he deserved a name. I went on a hunt to find some easy-to-care-for houseplants…

9 Holiday Porch Ideas You’ll Want to Copy!
This year I started decorating the house really early for the holidays. I could’t resist all the cuteness I was seeing at our local Marshall’s and picked up some items for the house. It was time to switch up the holiday knick knacks as some are long past being called cute or even useful. You know how it is, lights that don’t work anymore but didn’t make it in the trash last year, or broken bulbs, or holiday plush that I didn’t care for anymore. The house looks cute (I’ll do a home tour soon) but that doesn’t leave much in my budget for the front porch. I went in search…
