Modern sleeper sofa review

Pumpkin decorating has come a long way from the traditional carved Jack-o’-lanterns. Painted pumpkins offer a fun, versatile, and mess-free alternative that anyone can enjoy. Whether you want to add a splash of color to your porch, create whimsical cartoon pumpkins, or help your kids get crafty, there are countless ways to decorate with paint. In this post, we’ll explore different techniques for painting pumpkins, including pour-over pumpkin painting, Disney-inspired pumpkins, and painted pumpkins for kids. We’ll also discuss supplies and tips to get the best results with your painted pumpkin ideas.

To be honest, most of my home decor has been acquired out of necessity, not with as much thought as I would like. A lot of it is disposable — stuff I bought in my early-mid twenties to fill space.

When we moved to Phoenix, we bought a new couch that came with two retro-70’s print throw pillows. Not my favorite, but we’ve used them for the last several months since we had them.

Our living room was in desperate need of a redo. When Minted contacted me to see if I wanted to select some of their original artwork, I was pretty excited to see what they had to offer. I also immediately thought it seemed like the perfect time to create a DIY gallery wall tutorial.

Now that my kids are a little older, they are really starting to get into the holidays. With Christmas right around the corner, I wanted to create a cute, inexpensive and kid-friendly craft. I created this DIY Christmas garland using paint sample cards from the local hardware store.

For my day job, I get to educate museums about sustainability. If that term is confusing, my favorite definition is ‘to live on the earth like we intend to stay’. Basically, sustainability is about finding ways to promote economic prosperity and social justice while also ensuring environmental resilience.

We just moved to a newly remodeled 1950s home in Boston. One of the best parts about our new home is that we have a dedicated entry room that can function as a mudroom.

What are your plans for Thanksgiving this year? This is the first time in many years that we’ll actually have family in town for the holidays.

When we finally had all the details in place to move to California from Boston, one thing we knew was that we weren’t going to take our old beds with us. Although they were still in good shape, shipping several mattresses for my entire family, across the country, just wasn’t a smart, or cost-effective idea.

Choosing a sofa for your home is not an easy task. There are so many options that it can feel very overwhelming.

When we left Boston, one of the first things I decided right away was that it was time to redesign my kids’ bedroom. My daughter was still sleeping in her crib that converted to a day bed and my son was sleeping in a hand-me-down twin that was really a girl’s bed (white with scalloped details).

Full disclosure, I am not an interior designer. I do not claim to know everything (or much at all) about home design.

When I first started looking for places in LA, none of the spaces really excited me. Most of them felt closed off, outdated, lacked good light, or were just rather blah.

When I moved to California earlier this year, I decided not to move most of our furniture. It was mostly all from the early 2000s, and not in the best shape after a couple cross-country moves. It was a great decision. It’s a fresh start in my new home.

We moved to California in 2018. When we chose our place, one of the things I loved about the house was the two large sliding patio doors that stretch the entire length of my open floor plan living room and dining room.

It’s that spring cleaning time of year. Earlier this spring, I did a segment on KTLA where I talked about some of the products of the year for 2022.

As kids grow, so do their interests, personalities, and needs. What once was a room filled with furniture that had been around since babyhood—some pieces even dating back to infancy—was no longer working for my son.

This summer, I partnered with Pottery Barn Teen to transform Gigi’s bedroom into a dreamy, beach themed room—and I couldn’t be happier with the result.
