Father’s Day is right around the corner and every year I struggle with gift ideas for my father and husband. This year I partnered with The Grommet to share some of the most unique and best Father’s Day gifts. The Grommet is a place to discover and shop innovative new products from local Makers and small…
The Dining Room refresh. I love it. As in a lot. This was supposed to include a little straightening and setting the table. But as usual, I ended up doing a lot more. It all started with the furniture layout and what I thought would be a good simple change. Here is what our dining room…
I think it is safe to say that Spring has finally arrived. For some of you, that is big news. The snow has melted and it’s actually possible to spend time outdoors. For those of us in Southern California, it pretty much means that we can add one more day to our lawn watering…
I just finished the One Room Challenge and I loved every minute of it. This guest bedroom makeover was a huge transformation and I am thrilled to share it with you. The One Room Challenge ends today and my room is done! I am so happy with our bedroom makeover and I cannot wait…
Well, it’s week five of the One Room Challenge which means the final reveal is next week. Oh, my goodness. That doesn’t seem possible. (If you would like to read my previous posts about The One Room Challenge, you can go to week one, week two, week three and week four.)
Well, it’s week four of the One Room Challenge and I am starting to panic. Why? Because there are only two weeks left and I have so much still to do. (If you would like to read my previous posts about The One Room Challenge, you can go to week one, week two and week three.)
Last fall when we redid our master bedroom it was pretty straightforward. I painted, did a DIY headboard and replaced the curtains, rug, and bedding. The biggest project was replacing the marble around the fireplace. This month I have joined the One Room Challenge and I am doing a makeover of our boy’s bedroom. This…
I have spent this entire last week finalizing my plans for the Boys Room I am redesigning for the One Room Challenge. I can’t even to begin to tell you how excited I am. What I am trying to say is, I have got this. I know exactly what I am going to do with…
So what do you think? This photo is a rendering of the room I have selected for my latest remodeling project, The One Room Challenge. This what I am calling “The Boys Room”. It used to be my husband’s room when he grew up (we bought my inlaws home twenty years ago). Then it was…
I loved creating this DIY Spring Garden Party in our backyard. We had such a fun evening and I can’t wait to share how You Can Host a Dinner Like this too! Today I am thrilled to share a spring garden party that I hosted in our backyard. I made the chargers and placemats and…
The most common question I get on my Instagram and blog is “What is the paint color in that room?”. We all struggle to try to find the perfect paint color. I can’t tell you how many times I was convinced that the paint chips I had picked out were perfect for a room. Only…
On the blog yesterday I posted a lot of the finished rooms in our home. By finished, I am referring to the new neutral (white) themed rooms. I heard from a lot of you who wanted to see the before and after photos. I didn’t even think to include them in my post. But given…
One of my biggest goals this year is to organize my life. And within that goal, is to organize my social media life. I want to become more efficient so I can write better blog posts and somehow spend less time on Instagram. Somehow I am guessing there are a few of you out there who feel…
Whenever I want to “refresh a room”, I don’t head out and go shopping. Instead, I always shop my home first. Today I am sharing why you need to shop your own home for decor! I just finished restyling our living room for winter. I added ice-blue highlights in the room and you won’t believe…
As the seasons change every few months, so does the decor in my home. Of course, if you had told me a year ago that I would be changing my decor every few months, I would have said you were crazy. I am coming up on my one year anniversary of when I started @my100yearoldhome on…
As much as I struggled this year with decorating for Christmas, I do have to say I am very happy how it turned out… especially Christmas in my living room. This was the first time I have decorated our entire house and I learned a lot. Don’t overdo it. Stay true to the look and feel…
