I’ve been spinning the wheels about redoing our master bath. After giving our kitchen a makeover a la Julia Child, I’m inspired to do the same for the bathroom, although I know this one’s going to take a whole lot more than a coat of paint. First up, the actual bath….
This Sunday is the 2012 Summit Hill House Tour, a self-guided event that lets you peek into historic homes and gardens. This year there are 15 spaces, full of grandeur, including 977 Summit, a historic duplex that was remodeled by David Heide Design Studio and which won a RAVE award this year. Tickets…
Yep, I’m one of those obsessed-with-Paris kind of people and when I started collecting latte bowls, I actually used them with a purpose. I bought about a dozen from Anthropologie and stacked them in the cupboard, intending them to be in constant motion from morning Grape Nuts to evening fro-yo. But when I first poured…

Coming this weekend is an ambush style furniture exhibition presented by Guerilla By Design’s 16 furniture designers. It sounds like a flash mob furniture invasion, aimed to show viewers what would happen if typical belongings were replaced, repurposed, and re-imagined with furniture made for a specific scale and site.
After thinking and rethinking, I’m tackling yet another chalkboard wall at home. When we first moved into our South Minneapolis house, we painted a large, very beige basement wall in what is aptly named “Safety Orange” by Hudson Paint, a company that offers every shade you’d ever want in chalkboard paint. That wall is…
It seems everyone is buzzing about hammocks lately. Call it a trend (that’s been around forever) or maybe it just happens to come up with this blazing hot, endless summer thing we have going on. Whatever it is, nothing says vacation at home more than a hammock in the backyard. L.L. Bean’s cotton hammock (above,…
I’ve long been a fan of Bob and Cortney Novogratz, who live in New York City with their seven kids and collaborate on eclectic design projects around the world. I had the opportunity to interview them twice, once for Delta Sky magazine on how to travel with that many kids and another…
