Interested in designing your own Christmas cards (or wedding invitations, or thank-you cards, etcetera! etcetera!…sorry…I watched The King and I over the weekend…) this year?
It’s not difficult, seriously. As long as you’ve got some software (I use Photoshop elements) and know how to surf the net, you can create snazzy designs. This is [...]

Yes, that is the persistently elegant capiz chandelier that both K and I have in our homes. The only difference is that mine is a beautiful muted green color and hers is a lucious white. Oh, and there’s the whole giant bulldozer thing in my yard. Putting in apartment buildings. Right. Behind. My. Home.
Anyway. Just [...]

Is it sacrilegious to post about wine on Sunday? I think not…..
So, I’m starting to think this arrangement on my dresser is pretty tired.
I received these purple allium stems for our wedding (I registered for a lot of home decor items……nevermind that we had no towels, these flowers were a MUST!). I still think it [...]

Actually, that’s not true. I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be in the 50’s today and snow is nowhere to be found (which is fine. by. me.) And we all know my views on Christmas usurping Thanksgiving.
However, I am already excited about our Christmas tree. We’ve had two Christmases in this house, and each year [...]

It is my personal belief that Thanksgiving deserves its day, therefore no Christmas decor will be displayed in our house until the day after Thanksgiving. However, I may or may not have already purchased some new ornaments [...]

This is my home office…
… in my head, anyway. (It’s actually from here.)
I’m not going to show you what our actual office looks like – it’s just a small step away from embarrassing, and I wouldn’t want you to feel bad about judging me.
One wall is the fabulous Sherwin-Williams Baked Clay color that we used [...]

Yes, you read that right. I know what you’re thinking – what is going on at Homage? Do they have some kind of bedroom furniture fixation? Are there drugs for that?
We do and there isn’t. So we will all just have to suffer through.
While J is searching for the perfect nightstand, I am on the [...]

Hello, lovelies! How is it Monday already? My weekend was a blur of home projects (none of them fun and blog-worthy, sadly. Unless you want to see before and after pics of our gutter clean-out…) and went by WAY too quickly.
I can’t think of a better way to cure a case of the Mondays than [...]

Remember my frumpy bedroom from this post? Its looks could be summed up in this photo:
Well, after weeks and weeks of hard work, it now has transformed into this! :
I’ve been busy, okay?
BUT, I have been going crazy over some cute accent tables/nightstands from Target.com, and I think I may be close to honing in [...]
