So yesterday I talked about how floored I was when I saw this spread in House Beautiful, but what I failed to mention was how blown away I was with the entire issue. It was hands down one of the best issues (out any of the magazines) I’ve received in a long time. Usually there read more…
We’re Moving…
To this 725 square foot one- bedroom Manhattan apartment. No not really but I am salivating over the latest issue of House Beautiful. When I opened it to page 90 and saw this spread it took my breath away. I immediately recognized the kitchen from Kelly Giesen’s blog and website but had never seen the rest of read more…
Metallic Hide Interiors
After my crazy Mad Cow post the other day, one of my girlfriends commented that she didn’t think she had ever seen a room with metallic hide accents.

Mad Cow
Lately I have been going crazy for metallic hides, so much so that if we had a house I’d probably be tempted to upholster a whole room with metallic hide walls! Insane I know, but I can’t get enough of this look. I partially think it’s because it reminds me of Aspen. After living in read more…
Friday Favs
Following up on yesterday’s post here are some of my favorite white paint colors by Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams.

Surprise!!!
So Wednesday was my birthday and not just any birthday, but the big 3-0. I’ve officially left my 20’s but as all the magazines keep telling me 30/40 is the new 20, so I am not too worked up about it. One of the BIGGEST differences the Mr. and I expect this year aside from read more…
Cape May NJ
The Mr. and I leave tomorrow for a fun family vacation in Cape May New Jersey. His Aunt and Uncle own a house there and they are kind enough to let 12 of the crazy Boland’s stay there for a whole week! We are long overdue for a beach trip, and although we can only read more…
