I’d like you to meet Rachel, from Rachel’s Nest. Not only does she have a pretty house and an adorable baby---but she’s sweet as can be, so I was excited to interview her about her decor, her life as a new mom and everything in between. Here’s what she had to say: 1. Your home is gorgeous! (seriously, can I move in!?) tell me about how you ...

Benched
As we continue to decorate our home, there has been one area of our home that I could never really figure out. When we first went to look at our new home, it was a decorated model home. There was this space between the kitchen windows, fridge and island that was quite large and the designers put a little round table and two chairs ...
2012 Resolutions
I've been looking forward to writing this post because it's always motivational to see your goals and remind yourself about what you hope to accomplish in the coming year. I had originally planned to take a look back at my 2011 goals, but I think it's best to start fresh and with a positive outlook instead of focusing on what wasn't ...
I Am Slowly Going Gray-z
Yes, gray-z. Not crazy, but gray-z. That's because we've got a whopping 16 paint swatches on our kitchen walls that we're testing to find "the one." Now, keep in mind, these colors may not be showing up on your monitor exactly as they look in real life, but it's probably pretty darn close. Here's what you're looking at: colors on the ...
How to Shop (For Less!)
When I get home from a shopping trip, I often quip to my husband "look how much money I saved!" while excitedly flapping my shopping bags in the air. It's usually met with an eye roll, but the hubs does oftentimes congratulate me on my shopping prowess. He even saves coupons for me when he sees them in the mail! True love! Obviously, ...
Wish List & Holiday Gift Ideas
OMG y'all, I think this post took me like an hour and a half to compile! I had several requests to create a holiday wish list/shopping ideas post! It was really fun to put this together. These could be items to add to your own list or something you might purchase for a friend or family member. Let's get started: Echo Design ...
What I Bought in Paris & London (Not Much at All)
A lot of you lovely ladies have been asking what I bought on our trip---the truth is, not much at all! I enjoyed a lot of window shopping while we were abroad. For designer items especially, the prices were simply so much higher than what you'd pay for the same item in the US, so I decided to only buy things I haven't seen in the US or can ...
Make Your Holidays Beautiful: Shutterfly Holiday Cards (Bloggers can get 50 Free!)
I usually wait until 2 weeks before Christmas to send out my holiday cards. This year though, I am lucky to be participating in Shutterfly's Holiday Card Promotion! I've done photo cards before, but they were NOT as cute as the ones offered by Shutterfly! I was seriously impressed when I saw the wide variety of designs they had to ...
For My Grandmother- Taken too Soon
I'm in a state of shock. She was young, healthy and beautiful. I thank God that she was able to be there for our wedding day. I love you so much grandma. You were always such an inspiration to me---you were the perfect woman---intelligent, kind, caring, beautiful...the list could go on and on. She was a researcher- with a PhD and I ...
