How to Style a Bar Cart


barcart01

There’s nothing like planning a shin-dig with all your favorite people. For me, it’s more about setting the stage to make sure that everyone has the best time ever, and then enjoying the evening myself. One trend that I love right now is the Bar Cart. Not only is a super space saver but it can serve as a central station for beverages and treats. See my full post over on Best Friends For Frosting on how to make the most of your trusty bar cart.

Get Organized


Before the holidays take over, take a few minutes to organize your workspace. I’m sharing a few of my favorite desk accessories and trinkets that help me on task and pretty up my space. See my original post over on Best Friends for Frosting !

Posh Tailgate Party


SMIRNOFF-ICE-684x1024

Now that football season is officially in full swing, we know that all of the guys are grabbing their beers and gearing up for the game. But it’s not just for them! Most of us gals get just as excited about football season as the next guy does. And who wouldn’t?? Great game, great food, great company, and great drinks! Add in great decor and a few fun activities, and you’re sure to have the best tailgating set up around.

We decided to take the party inside, but that doesn’t mean we need to miss out on any of the fun. First, we used Washi Tape to help us set the perfect stage for our football gathering. Go big with a Gold Washi Tape truck silhouette for a backdrop in the house. Toy with the idea of adding Washi tape to mason jars in the shape of footballs for an extra special touch.

Happy Design & Family Living


If there are any typos in this post, it’s simply because I am blinded by great design right now. We had the chance to catch up with Lauren Grant, a local New England interior designer to learn more about her latest project. There’s so much to love about this space: playful patterns, a happy color story and the fact that is was designed with family living in mind. I can’t really say that there’s one element I love more than another, but I do know I am now on the hunt for an oversized blue velvet couch.  – Denell
