Hi I am Sarah! I'm an Interior Designer, DIYer, Graphic Designer, wife to the most amazing husband, and puppy mom to our happy, spirited Annabelle!

We are both originally from Frederick, MD - where we were married in 2009. Last year we relocated to central coast California for his work and are now loving the sand and sun!
This blog is a place for us to share our home and DIY adventures in trying to make our rental our own by getting our hands dirty and creating spaces that make us smile :) Together
with my crazy/grand ideas and David's creativity and ability to figure
them out, we spend a lot of our weekends (and some week days) adding personalization to our home. I believe that with a little creativity, time and effort, you don't need a lot of money to make your home look fabulous!
Thanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by!! :)
DeleteI'm from Frederick, MD! Small world!
ReplyDeleteHow neat! A lot of our family lives there, so we may be back soon!!
DeleteHi Sarah! Your blog is very inspiring! I am in love with the yellow and white lamp shades you have in the master bedroom on the dressers. I was hoping you could help me figure out the name of that pattern, or something similar. I'm looking for a fabric similar to that in the same yellow/mustard and ivory color to make pillow covers for the couch. Thanks!
ReplyDelete-Heather
Hi Heather! Thank you so much! The lampshades are from Target. I believe the print is Target exclusive, but they do have it in draperies, table clothes, and shower curtains (I don't think in the yellow though) You may want to check out spoonflower.com, they have a great selection!
DeleteWhat kind of dog do you have? Where did you get your couch from?
ReplyDeleteHi Mackenzie! Annabelle is a Beagle/Jack Russell Mix and the sofa is the Karlstad from Ikea :)
DeleteHey Sarah. Just came over to your blog from Brooklyn Limestone! I've actually been on before because someone in your family told my father-in-law you were blogging when he mantioned that I was. We live in Frederick!
ReplyDeleteWhat a small world! Nice to "meet" you! We hope to move back to the Frederick area in the future!
DeleteHey Sarah!
ReplyDeleteI love your style and have been reading your blog for a while! I guess i never really read your about section or noticed the detail until your post today. I actually work at the GWU in DC and grew up in Hagerstown, MD. My husband and I currently live in Arlington, va but are actually looking to move to Frederick to be closer to family and to have a place we can actually afford...the city is expensive! Small world!
Hi Maggie! What a small world! Also, I went to High School in Hagerstown ha! Frederick is nice because it is close to DC, but affordable!
DeleteYour blog is exactly what I was looking for. I love DIY projects and would like to do more with furniture. Thanks for sharing your great ideas.
ReplyDeleteJust emailed you, hope I got all of the "dots" out correctly;)
ReplyDeleteCame across your blog on Pinterest (tufted headboard), and saw a few posts with Frederick, MD in them. I'm from Hagerstown. Beautiful blog and love your designs!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! :) I grew up going to Hagerstown often!
DeleteHi Sarah!
ReplyDeleteI am from Ottawa, ON - Canada. I came across your blog on Pinterest and I am absolutely IN LOVE with all of your projects. Your sense of style is very inspiring - so much so that my boyfriend and I are attempting our first DIY together this weekend by making our own headboard.... wish us luck!! I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to post all the detailed pictures and instructions, you make it easy to follow along and you've inspired me to do some DIY's I never would have otherwise attempted. Thank you, you're awesome!! :)
Hi Melanie! Thanks so much, you are so sweet! I love hearing that my instructions are easy to follow! (it keeps me encouraged to keep doing it!)
DeleteCame across your page through Pinterest! Totally inspired me to save money and personalize my apartment by fixing thing up instead of going out and buying the new expensive stuff. Have you ever made/created a full length mirror with like stained, thick wood around it? I saw something like that on the internet and really want to try it.
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle, Thanks so much for stopping by! I haven't tried framing out a mirror yet, but I'm sure there is lots of inspiration on Pinterest ;)
