Change is in the Air…More than Ever
It's one of those days when I cannot focus on one thing at a time for anticipation of the next thing entering my brain. Behind the scenes today, we're getting ready for a major blog/site update (more on that below). But every single day the last few months, I'm...
Julie’s Feminine Glam Bedroom Inspiration
I'm trying to take it easy this weekend, but I wanted to pop in to share some inspiration for a makeover I'm about to tackle next week….exciting! Remember Julie? Well, we're gearing up to work on her bedroom to make it a bit more of a retreat for her. We're going...
Simple Spring Tablescape for the Real-Life Hostess (& a Free Printable for you)
Well, this post probably would have gone a little differently, but I've been down with a kidney stone this week (yay!), so I all but left it with Julie & Kaitlyn to shoot our fun spring tablescape. We started our day with a business meeting and I began setting up...
Live in The Light
There's something about a hauntingly sad story that gets me thinking. I watched a self-indulgent episode of Nashville this morning (I'm a sucker for cowboy boots and Connie Britton), and the scenes of Scarlett & her good-for-nothing mama got me thinking. It made...
It’s the PI Girls Today!!
Hey Everyone!! Shaunna is out today; we think with a kidney stone! 🙁 (say some prayers for her, please!!) So we are taking OVER her blog!! 🙂 Don't forget to head over to Joss and Main, it's the last day of the sale!! SOOOO since Shaunna always does 25 things, we...
Dressmaker’s Form
We had a much needed lazy weekend. Emphasis on the much. I've been working slowly on a few updates to my office/writing room. I've been taking my time on it, not in a particular hurry. It just needed to work a little smarter for me, so I set out to make it even...
A Letter from Lance (the photographer)
Yes it is me again... The Little Brother. You know the guy you met a few years back, the one who suffers from an unhealthy addiction to Disney World and the movie Midnight in Paris? While I tend to think of myself as a modern day romantic seeking out an unrealistic...
Collaborations and Joss & Main Picks
These last two weeks have been CRAZY. If I were still long enough, you might find me rocking myself to sleep in the corner whilst sucking my adult-size thumb. Life moves forward too quickly, though, for me to spend my days in the fetal position. On with the fray....
Perfectly Imperfect Joss & Main Sale Tonight!
Good morning, lovely friends! I have some fun news to share today... The lovely people over at Joss & Main asked if we wanted to curate a sale with them, and of course, we were thrilled at the opportunity. I've been a member of Joss & Main for a few years and...
Fun Newsletter News (1st Edition Launches Tomorrow!)
Julie and Kaitlyn have been working away at the newly re-lauched PI Newsletter and the first edition goes out in the morning. The newsletter will include blog recaps from the week, a fun tutorial or craft not seen on the blog (tomorrow's is so fun!), the creative...
PI Creative Leadership Retreat
Like I said when we chatted about creativity, last weekend with my team was incredible. I always have a ton of fun with those girls, but it's just good to get away and have dedicated time to work and focus--and have multiple side stitches from all the laughing. Julie...
The Truth About Creativity
This weekend was pretty amazing. We, and by we, I mean my team and I, headed down to the beach condo in Florida for the first ever PI Creative Leadership Retreat. It was heavenly: by day, we met and did creative work and brainstormed and planned and by evening we...
Old Green Paint Basket
You know how I love the beauty of something old, something worn with time and age and sunlight. I do, really, wish I could find all the exact pieces I needed from antique malls and flea markets, and many times, I do. When we opened the shop, it was half/half vintage...
The Perfectly Imperfect Newsletter
Like i mentioned on Tuesday, we're constantly dreaming and scheming and planning. Lately, my focus has shifted more towards our community online. I've written out some goals and made project lists, but we're also revamping the online store, and are getting ready to...
Old Books & the truth about friendship
I've learned a lot about my creative process the last couple of years. For instance, if I try to write mid-day, it's useless, hopeless even. But if I begin at the first light of day when the world is quiet and my soul is still…magic. If even I wait until the place...
What It Takes: Dream Makers
Let's start with this. I am not magical or have the world of business figured out. I am not a Wall Street tycoon nor will I be on the cover of Forbes magazine as "businesswoman of the year." I will tell you, though, that this topic has been on my mind for some time...
Worthy Reading
Happy Saturday, friends. It's been a while since I popped in to share some weekend links, but I love these posts so much I had to share! Fishing With Daddy at Life in Grace That Nester. Gotta love her. Where to Start When You're Sure a Space is Hopeless Fun post for...
Pretty Office Supplies & A New Direction for The Online Store
This morning I'm in a total funk. Don't know what to write about, have so much to do I can't think straight. Flaw of mine? Sometimes when my lists are 3 pages long, I tend to stare off into space until I can get my head wrapped around which task to tackle first. I...
Serene Bedroom Decorating Ideas
Normally when I want to plan a design board for a space, I need specific products and I used photos from my house. I typically work in photoshop and while it's awesome, it does take quite some time to pull together a design board. Serene Guest Bedroom by shaunna-1...
A Loft Fort Bed
Right before Christmas, Matt decided we should rip out Gray's floor and build him a bed. One week out until the big day. What the what? But I got out of the way, and let him love his boy, and well, he built the bed and changed the flooring in enough time to slap a...
