Where Unique, Chic and Organized Meet
When it was time to take A out of her crib and make her room more suitable for a little girl, keeping it budget friendly was #1 on the list. I was able to do everything for under $200, and she loves her new "big girl room". My baby turned 3 last week, and believe it or not, she was still a crib. I had to hunker down, and come up with a plan to give her a big girl room. Luckily I had kept one of … [Read more...]

Although I have a love for color in the home I do understand that there are people who just can't do it. Neutrals can be done really well with a pop color that is more muted and appealing to those who do not want saturated colors. For color inspiration I thought I'd go with the Autumn Rays palette by Design Seeds. You can see here the different shades of neutral you can incoroprate with just … [Read more...]
I love displaying all of my traditional Jewish holiday foods in beautiful plates and dishes. Since it's Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year) it is fitting to find a dish to display the apples and honey, which are served to bring a sweet life in the coming year. When I began my apples and honey dish search I was astounded by the plethora of dishes, some of which are so gorgeous they could be out all … [Read more...]
I look around my house on a regular basis and see all of the beautiful heirlooms I have acquired over the years from those who have passed, or passed it on. In Judaism using those long lived items is called hiddur mitzvah. It honors those items as treasures, and elevates them above all of the other items in your home. "Hiddur Mitzvah, is a Jewish idea that means taking the time and making an … [Read more...]
I don't think I can properly describe the redhardwick masterpiece on my daughter's wall. I'm going to try to get close to how fantastic with some pictures. I'll start with a little backstory. Jen the artist behind redhardwick contacted me, and asked me to peruse her flickr photostream to see if there was anything there that I liked. By choosing a few things Jen would be able to get an idea … [Read more...]

When stuck on how to decorate a wall in your house I highly recommend checking out Old Barn Rescue. They have beautiful upcycled items, but it's their vinyl wall decals that are inspiring. The decals have graphics, inspirational quotes and whimsical quotes. There were so many cute ones that I could see all over the house, it was hard to really decide on just one. Almost two years after … [Read more...]
I am a huge home fragrance fan. I love to light candles and burn natural oils in my house. However, since having kids I've come to do it less and less because I'm so afraid of the fire hazard. I try to keep things really high up but then of course that still scares me. Just last week my younger brother was telling me about the building right next door to him had a fire. I asked how it … [Read more...]
