Great Room Tour Sneak Peak

Posted by Honor on Thursday, February 14, 2013, In : Home Sneek Peek

Wanted to share a couple of snapshots our kitchen/great room that will be featured in a home tour series soon (details will be posted when the article goes live). I was so honored to be asked and spent quite a bit of time trying to get these images just right. The mister and I are so proud of this character filled home we have created together and adore sharing the coziness with who ever wants to par take.

This was just a taste to wet your appetite. Thanks for stopping by and check back in s...

Evolution of a DIY Painted Staircase

Posted by Honor on Monday, February 11, 2013, In : Home Sneek Peek

Run! Hide! Shelter your children! It's the great WHITE OUT here in So Cal!
Wait
No, it's not snow.
It's white paint!
Whewww... dodged one there.

Yes, it is true I have turned to the dark side. Or light side. White side? After many years of dogging people who chose white paint over the bajillion other shades available, I have become one of them. I just finished repainting my kitchen with white paint. And the staircase. And the family room. I am shellacking the whole place!

With the new year I was ...

Wood, Nail & String Art Plus Office Peek

Posted by Honor on Friday, January 11, 2013, In : Home Sneek Peek

As I mentioned before, we swapped rooms. Me and my little girl that is. I took over her bedroom for my office and she and her little brother are in the other spare room. It is twice the size and just perfect for two little hooligans to do cartwheels in. As for my 'new' office I decided to leave the paint color and just work with what I have around the house to decorate and style. Boy do I have a lot of stuff. It sure is pretty though. Purging tchotskies is not a strong suit of mine. I am a cl...

New Year New Room

Posted by Honor on Wednesday, January 2, 2013, In : Home Sneek Peek

New paint color really. Truth is that I was never really sold on the color our master had been. I was going for a sophisticated gray with a hint of lavender. In my mind it was going to be classy, moody, unique.
Unique is right.... it came out straight up PURPLE. A weird mauve in your face purplish tone. In the early morning light I was ok with it, but every other time I was just annoyed when I caught a glimpse of it. Heck... I even painted a mural over it to try and change my heart about it. N...

Before and After: DIY Family Photo Gallery Wall

Posted by Honor on Monday, November 19, 2012, In : Home Sneek Peek

Hello ladies! And welcome the the second installment of my before and after series. Last week I shared with you my before and after for our family photo wall in our entry/stair way. This DIY is for a wall in our family room. Because I swapped out our mushy section for a super fab vintage davenport I had a blank wall to decorate at will. Yipeee! Having something new to decorate is a little bit exciting don't you think? I like to periodically look at our living spaces and evaluate how it is fu...

Before and After: Staircase Family Photo Wall

Posted by Honor on Thursday, November 15, 2012, In : Home Sneek Peek

This wall has been the bane of my existence. I get heartburn just looking at it. Bahhhhh, it frustrates me to no end!

Ok a little exaggerated , but you get my point. I have had such trouble figuring out what to do with this wall. In the short year and a half we have been here it has had quite a few 'lives'. First it was a dining area. Then a reading nook. Then back to a dining area with faux built in benches. Then to a holding area for a table I didn't know what to do with. Then finally to th...

Home Sneek Peek: Master Bedroom 'Anthro Inspired'

Posted by Honor on Monday, April 9, 2012, In : Home Sneek Peek

Welcome to our master bedroom! Just a little sneek peek into our little anthropologie inspired love nest. While our room is not huge... it makes up for it in charm. For this little tour I focused on the feature wall of the room. I created this custom wallpaper out of a vintage themed scrapbook paper book. I fell in love with the patterns, maps & images of stamps as soon as I saw them... but alas I am not an avid scrapbooker so how could I justify purchasing such a large amount of scrapbook p...
