It may be surprising to hear, but the drama (and, therefore, the stress level) is relatively low where our home renovation project is concerned (follow this link to read earlier posts!). Don’t get me wrong – things are moving along at a breakneck pace at this point. But, at this moment, just about everything seems…

The Junior League of Boston Show House is back again this year, after a successful event last spring, for which I was honored to transform a blank, crumbling space into a warm and vibrant mother-in-law bedroom.

This is the second of a series of posts on the Junior League of Boston 2012 Show House. The first can be viewed here. As I made my way around the Junior League of Boston Show House last week, praying that my dying camera battery would survive “just one more room” (thankfully, it did!), I…

I had the great pleasure of visiting the Junior League of Boston Show House yesterday (thank goodness for babysitters!), on the day it opened to the public. I have way too much to share for just one post, so I’ll be breaking it down into somewhat logical topics over the course of the next week…
