We let out a silent cheer when we came across this sign at Nordstrom yesterday. As the holidays seem to become closer and closer to Halloween every year, it seems Thanksgiving feels a little left behind.
Although we understand the benefit of decking the halls early, we're not sure if we're ok with the idea. Share your thoughts after the jump!
We have to admit up front that we're serious suckers for ugly dogs. We have a Boston Terrier named Wilbur and have eyes glued to the screen when Wes & Kayla's French Bulldog, Bacon makes an appearance. So we fell hook, line and sinker, for these prints of Boogie the Boston on Classic furniture pieces.
We love repurposing items more than anything when it comes to our own personal decor stylings. It not only makes financial sense, but is earth friendly and you know how much we love that. Check out our roundup of our favorite repurposed items and ways to make them pull double duty, after the jump.
Are you still looking for something to spark your interest when it comes to table decor this holiday season? It's easy to become inundated with all the festive table-decor, so we've broken it down into 5 color combos to coordinate with most any color palette.
We love a good DIY project, especially when they require very little work on our part. In this case, all that's needed is a trip to your local Fed Ex Kinko's and a simple download. The best part is, they'll wipe clean when company's gone and take up little to no room to store. Details after the jump.
Tiling any surface in your home is a test in patience. There's time spent spacing, and waiting for things to cure before moving on, but a new product called Simplemat is making it as easy as press, peel and stick. Seriously, check out the video after the jump!
Studio 1a.m. is comprised of the combined talents and designs of Donna Piacenza and Jody Work. You might remember their, This Table Will Self Destruct featured previously over at Re-Nest. They're back again with this printed cork headboard that can be used in more places than just the bedroom.
An umbrella stand isn't one of those things that's at the top of most people's to-buy list. But they're super handy to have around and can make the rainy months on either side of old man Winter a little easier. We ran across this fabulous project that turns claw foot bathtub feet into a fabulous entryway umbrella holder.
We love a good DIY project as much as the next person, but what we love more than simply doing it yourself, is when those results look like super professional. We ran across this easy DIY placemat made from a few yards of burlap and a little help from some freezer paper. Dress up your table for the holidays with these simple steps.
We have a small confession to make, and although this will be a huge shocker to most, we just want to lay all our cards on the table—we love using items in ways that they aren't traditionally used. That being said, we literally squealed out loud when we came across these kitchen cabinet faucet handles...

The vintage stylings of Heather Spriggs Thompson feel like a beautiful echo heard around the internet. She has set the bar high in the mainstream media, when it comes to making vintage pieces not only feel beautiful, but modern and comforting. Although she's only recently moved into her current home, it's already filled with picture-perfect places where you can easily see yourself...
Have you ever fallen in love with a piggy bank? We have. Although there's no sign of swine in this model, it's oh so pretty and holds your keys as well. Even those who claim such things belong in the bedroom, we think this version is fetching enough to sit out in the open.
It can be easy to fret over work that goes into entertaining guests in your home, but why worry, when you can simply throw a 1-2-3-4-5 party. Your guests bring food, fun and hours of entertainment — all you have to do is clean! Here's how...
Some have been lucky to find a fabulous sideboard or credenza from a sale or off Craigslist, but for those who have come up empty handed, no despair, just make on yourself. This Old House walks us through a relatively simple process using stock cabinets (which can be found for super cheap at your local Re-Store).
The 21c Museum Hotel calls Louisville, Kentucky home. Normally when you think high end hotels decked out with amazing artwork, we aren't usually thinking Kentucky—but maybe we should be. The best part is, there's several great ideas you can borrow to use in your own home. Click through to see more...
