This weekend I decided to do something about the chaos inside my jewelry box because all my necklaces were somehow tangled together into one giant ball. (Perhaps it’s a good thing they come from Target, not Tiffany’s!) Anyway, after I spent a sweet forever unraveling them, I decided there had to be a better way. […]

So, I haven’t been this relaxed in a LONG time! We just returned from Los Cabos, Mexico, where we spent the last few days on the beach living the good life. This was our first visit to Mexico’s Baja Peninsula and we chose to stay in the quaint town of San Jose del Cabo at the […]

We bought our first home on June 9, 2006, two days shy of our 1-year wedding anniversary. The cozy 1,534 square foot house, which we loving called “Chaz Schraz” (because it’s on Charles Schreiner Trail), was located in the Legend Oaks neighborhood in southwest Austin, about 15 minutes from downtown. Last month we sold our […]

In preparation for our upcoming move to Tulsa, we’ve spent the last couple of months getting our house ready to sell. If you’ve watched HGTV shows like Designed to Sell, you’ve probably heard the term “staging” thrown around. Staging is all about making your home appear larger, cleaner, more inviting, and ultimately more appealing to […]

In the spring and summer we basically live outside on our back deck. The backyard is what originally sold us on our house and it’s become one of my very favorite places to unwind. On the rare occasions I actually have a leisurely morning to enjoy, I love lounging on the deck with a cup […]

It happens every spring! The fresh air and sunshine inspire me to shake up the decor in our house. Fortunately, you don’t have to spend alotta moolah to breathe new life into a space. Sometimes it’s as simple as rearranging the furniture or rethinking the accessories. This explains why lately I’ve been on a mission […]

Meet one of the most versatile objects I own….the trusty garden urn. It made its debut as decor in my wedding almost 5 years ago and has served multiple uses around the house ever since. In the spring and summer it greets guests with colorful flowers on the front porch. When the weather turns cold, the […]

Welcome to the international headquarters of design finch, Inc! I thought I’d show you were all the magic happens, but in order to truly appreciate the space you need to see the complete transformation. While I enjoy sharing an office with my hubby, our previous workspace was really cramped, inefficient and lacked storage for books […]

Let me begin by saying I have nothing against gray. It’s quite a lovely color. I’m a big fan, in fact. But the gray tile in our entry area was just not working for me. It was as if you were greeted by 1989 upon entering the front door. We’ve actually intended to replace it […]

Bold geometric patterns seem to be popping up everywhere from textiles and fashion to decor and product packaging. I think they bring such a timeless quality to design and somehow look vintage and preppy at the same time. You can easily and inexpensively bring this trend into your own home with some framed prints or […]
