Desk in the Bedroom

February 21, 2012

First of all let me say this, I love my husband very, very much and have no plans of ever leaving him but I have a confession to make sometimes I decorate my home if I were a single gal, no husband, no kids (I also love Sloan and don’t plan on getting rid of her either!)

I could easily live in a studio (I spend most of my time in my bedroom now). I love the idea of using a desk as a side table or putting a desk at the end of the bed.

Please tell me I’m not the only one who fake decorates her own single girl’s place???

This week I worked on my booth.  In case you missed it you can read it here or here. I also did a lot of sitting around because I was watching a lot of volleyball. As much as I love watching Sloan play volleyball it’s a little hard for me to sit for 2 days straight.  During the times Sloan … Continue reading …

Behind the Booth

February 16, 2012

I’ve received a few emails asking about specifics regarding having your own booth in a space so I thought I’d take the time to answer them. Q:  How did you decide where to rent a space? A:  I looked around at quite a few places before I decided.  Unfortunately my first choice is super booked but honestly finding my space … Continue reading …

The Booth

I went to the “booth” today and was able to take a few photos and I thought everyone would like to see them so without you teasing anymore… Here’s the before.   Here is the space empty.  (Almost.)   Here’s after I painted the space black with a little white trim.     And after a ton of work here … Continue reading …

Tips for Relieving Stress

February 14, 2012

Ok, so maybe today’s post isn’t completely design related but I thought I’d share with you a glimpse into “Laurie World.”  If I’m going to be real then I must confess lately I’ve been a bit stressed out. (Anyone else ever suffer from anxiety attacks?)  It’s hard to admit this because I’m the type of person who really tries to … Continue reading …

Recently I wrote about design trends for 2012.  I also have photos on my Pinterest board labeled design trends 2012 if you’d like to check that out.  I’ve obviously left one out and that is ombre.  It’s been around since last year but it seriously is everywhere this year.  Truth be told I recently had my hair dyed from dark … Continue reading …

Another week has flown by hasn’t it?  Here’s a little of what I’ve been up to this week. I attended this very important volleyball game. This is a yearly tradition at my daughter’s school.  The 8th grade competes against the teachers in a volleyball game at the end of Catholic Schools week.  I’m happy to announce the 8th grade finally … Continue reading …

Making Your Home Not Look Like A Catalog

February 9, 2012
Jennifer Boles

I’ve mentioned this before but looking through catalogs are always a great place to get design inspiration from and if you think outside of the box you can learn that even if you don’t like the design aesthetic of a certain store or their catalog or if you want to break free from having your house look like what people … Continue reading …

Design Faux Pas

Ok…first I need to say these are my opinions, it’s my blog my opinion, you’re free to tell me you don’t agree and I’ll be all…to each their own and with that being said you won’t change my mind on how I believe some things just shouldn’t happen in the home when it comes to design. I feel like the … Continue reading …
