Right now I am loving all of the vintage looks that are in home decor. Mixing burlap and lots of white is beautiful and really brightens the room. Since I always design my kids birthdays around a theme, I thought it would be fun to decorate a baby room in similar...
I feel like summer just finally arrived and my kids are already back in school. I’m just not ready to hang up the beach towels and frosty drinks and pull out my winter boots yet, in fact the idea just totally pisses me off. I’m going to be dragged into...
Simon+Kabuki has some exciting new products that have hit the shelves and the cyberworld. One product that I just love is our new Cuddlebumps coloring book (full disclosure, I did not work on the design!). I used to love to color as a kid and my two girls still...

I am so exited to have found a lovely network of websites that is made for anyone who loves food, weddings, and decorating (ME!). It’s comprised of inspirational, user-submitted photo gallery sites: foodgawker, craftgawker, weddinggawker, dwellinggawker. I like...
