Today I’m sharing how to easily switch out that old outlet or light switch. You know the one I’m talking about. It looks old and yellowed when in fact it’s just “almond.” A color that really shouldn’t be in existence any more. Or maybe it has paint on it because it wasn’t protected during the last redesign, or perhaps it’s chipped, or the plate doesn’t even really fit and it wiggles threatening to fall off with each plug and unplug. Whatever the reason – just replace it. I’m telling you, you won’t believe the difference it makes. And it feels that much better knowing you did it yourself. So, I’m sharing the how-to instructions and of course if you’re still not comfortable your local handyman should be able to do it in snap.

Read moreA Wall Mounted Bathroom Towel Hook Idea
Happy Monday, Friends! Today I have another update on our upstairs bathroom. It’s getting so close to being finished I can’t even wait!So, there was a little drama with these hooks before they even arrived. You see I accidentally ordered them to my old address. IN SAN FRANCISCO. After lots of phone calls and emails to friends in the city, a message to our old landlord, and an awesome customer service experience our old order was cancelled and refunded and we reordered the hooks to the correct address. Moral of the story? Anthropologie stores a default address for your online orders. Be sure that it’s the right one (it doesn’t matter if you’ve ordered things to your new address before, you know, say, the night before 🙈).

Read moreGuest Bedroom Idea: Inspiration Photos
Hi there! Happy, Monday! Today I’m sharing some inspiration photos I’ve rounded up for our guest bedroom. We have a houseguest right now and last week when I was getting the room ready I got really motivated to get the guest room in order and started scouring Pinterest for ideas.
I know I want it to be comfortable for guests. But it’s also a pretty small room that doubles as my office. So right now I’m still in the stage of thinking through all the possibilities and these pretty rooms are helping me do that!
