FOR YOUR HOME
If you’ve missed Nate Berkus & Jeremiah Brent’s new L.A. home video tour, you can watch it below. The two interior designers opened the doors to their renovated 1920 Spanish colonial, a house that not only came with splendid architectural elements, but also with love and good energy, as they describe in this Architectural Digest story.… Continue Reading
Hello sweet friends! I don’t mean to be indiscreet, but I have a question for you and hopefully your answers will somehow be similar to mine … I’m on the bed linens subject today and I would like to know how often you guys, launder your bed sheets. A long long time ago, I had a… Continue Reading
My kids gave me a cake stand for Christmas this year and even though I already have a few, I was overly joyful for getting one more! My children know me well (or apparently they listen when I talk – ha, I didn’t think so!) as it’s true that I believe that you can never have… Continue Reading
Hi everyone! What are your thoughts on bamboo blinds? I’m only asking because I wanted to make sure that I’m not the only one who absolutely loves them… We had bamboo blinds in one of our first Athens, Greece apartment many many years ago {I remember spending a little fortune to cover just two kitchen windows} and that… Continue Reading
It’s no secret that I am a thrifty shopper and this entryway with its classic console table and its plethora of decorative items proves it all. Over the years, I’ve shared many of the inexpensive treasures I’ve brought home, but I haven’t really shown how I tie them all together ~ this blog post today is… Continue Reading
Storage space in my daughter’s bathroom was limited to a very narrow drawer and a couple of narrow cabinet shelves. To solve this issue, a few months ago I brought into her bathroom this versatile little piece of furniture (her bedside table in our San Francisco home). It is about 3 feet long, so the top part gave… Continue Reading

I instantly fell in love with this tile and although I was originally planning on using it to cover the entire bathroom, or maybe the walls around the bathtub, I… Continue Reading
We have been traveling for almost four weeks now – first to Los Angeles for our daughter’s college graduation, and now in Greece. There’s been so much inspiration around me and I’ve been keeping notes with ideas, projects and recipes that I want to try, so hopefully there will plenty to share when I get back home. Before… Continue Reading
The school year is over here in Texas and it already feels like summer! As strange as this may sound, I usually don’t decorate the house for the summer ~ instead, I “un-decorate” to make it feel light and airy: I remove all heavy and darker decorative pieces from the coffee tables, consoles, shelves etc. and I put them away for the… Continue Reading
While taking the pictures for the “Wall Of Baskets” post last week, I realized that I haven’t shared any “before and after” photos of our kitchen in our Houston, Texas home. The very few “before” shots that I have are from the realtor’s listing and the furniture and décor belong to the house’s previous occupants. On the “before”… Continue Reading
