You Won’t Believe This Thrifted Chair Makeover
Today we shared my home tour on the blog, and though truly every piece of furniture in the apartment comes with a story, this project was too good not to share. I scored this leather sling chair on Craigslist a couple years ago — cool right? The leather was worn when I bought it, but it […]
Our Teacher’s Lounge Makeover is Live!
If you caught this post from a few weeks ago, you know that amidst the holiday madness, our team has been taking time out this season to participate in HP‘s #ReinventGiving holiday campaign.

Easy Holiday Decorations That Use Grocery Store Ingredients
Growing up, the holiday event I looked forward to more than anything else was the night we decorated the Christmas tree. We’d turn on holiday tunes, pour mugs of rich cocoa topped with plenty of marshmallows and get to work unpacking the boxes of ornaments we’d brought down from the attic.

She was among the first to abandon the uber modern, tightly-bunched floral style ubiquitous in the 90s for a looser, more natural approach to arrangements.
