For as long as I can remember, I have wanted leopard pillows. Now they wouldn't really go in our last place so you bet I couldn't wait to put them in our new house. I have lusted after pillows like these, which I see appear all over blogs; but I could never justify paying $75 for a pillow cover. Not in our house, nor with our budget. Telling E that I needed to spend $250 on pillows for one room--not going to happen. Luckily, I found a look ... Read More about DIY Leopard Pillows
DIY Pom Pom Curtains
  I recently reshot Bowie's room so the pictures above are the updated ones, and the ones below are the original. I am happy to say that I have learned a bit about photography in the past ten months!

Small Space Living: Media Console & Living Room
Finally, we got around to photographing our living room. As you can see in these shots, our house is tiny! We actually live in the top floor of a two-flat. We are just under 750 sq ft which is great for two people but definitely gets tight with two great danes and a toddler. But we have loved our time in our tiny home and it is filled with lots of memories! This is the heart of our house. Our living room is connected to our dining room (which is where E is ...
