video: danny seo upcycling projects

by fh_rachel on AUGUST 31, 2011
I'm not the only one who gets lost in Michael's right? And by lost, I don't mean I can't find the exit; I mean I get lost thinking about all the things I could make in nearly every single aisle. Aisle one: jewelry. Aisle two: custom shelving. Aisle three: framed art. Sigh. Friend of Fresh... Read more »

cozy fall blankets by crispina ffrench

by fh_rachael on AUGUST 30, 2011
The morning air is crisp and cool, the corn is tasseling and I’m itching for a new pair of wedge ankle boots. In my neck of the woods, southeastern Wisconsin, these are sure signs that fall is on the way. The changing of the season also means football games (go Pack!), apple picking (Elegant Farmer...

summer favorites

by fh_heather on AUGUST 25, 2011
I've been averting my eyes from the back-to-school sale signs, and avoiding glances at the calendar, but there's no denying it — summer is almost over. While my kids excitedly count down the days until school starts, I find myself clinging desperately, selfishly, longingly to summer. I'm not ready to let go. There's an ease... Read more »

7 days, 7 blogs, 7 moodboards challenge: wrap-up

by fh_rachel on AUGUST 24, 2011
Being part of Olioboard's 7 Days, 7 Blogs, 7 Moodboards Challenge this week was so much fun. I met six wonderful new-to-me bloggers, whose sites have been dutifully Google Reader-ed and followed on Facebook and Twitter. I loved seeing how we all interpreted “Coastal Cottage” in our own ways, and how we put together our... Read more »

I'll admit that when it's back-to-school time, I get a little jealous of all the kids and their freshly-sharpened pencils and brand-new notebooks.

Target may have Missoni, but Bed Bath & Beyond has Diane Keaton. Yup, that's right — Keaton has launched a housewares line called K by Keaton, sold exclusively at BB&B.   The New York Times calls Keaton a “serial [house] flipper,” and considering some of my favorite on-screen homes have starred the actress (Something's Gotta...

7 days, 7 blogs, 7 moodboards: coastal cottage porch

by fh_rachel on AUGUST 22, 2011
I'm excited to finally post my Coastal Cottage porch for Olioboard‘s 7 Days, 7 Blogs, 7 Moodboards challenge! I played with a few ideas — modern vs. vintage, sparse vs. crowded — but in the end, I was inspired mostly by the porches I'd pinned over on Pinterest, here, here and here. Above all, these...
