Stylelist Home Feature

July 24, 2012/ Michelle Scheibe

A couple of weeks ago I received an e-mail from the editor of Stylelist Home. She wanted to know if they could feature our home and do a short interview.

I really didn’t know much about Stylelist Home before I received the e-mail. The site has great decorating and DIY tips. They have previously featured bloggers like Emily A. Clark and Hi Sugarplum.

After freaking out, I agreed to the interview. A phone interview from New York City, none the less. I’m so glad I did. Shana was really easy to talk with and she handled my awkwardness with ease. Come to find out, their readers love articles containing pets. Ike steals the show again!

The article was posted yesterday. You can read it here!

Look at the stylish fluffy dog. The fame has totally gone to his head. As you read this, he is wearing a silk robe and talking to agents.

This interview was a great experience for me. There was a lot of self doubt. A lot of “my house is not good enough”. My blog is “not good enough.” A lot of “this is way beyond my comfort zone.” I can’t do a phone interview. I’m too awkward and don’t think well on the spot. But I did it. And I enjoyed it. Who cares if I don’t have the best house or the best blog? I’m proud to call both of them mine!

This blog has brought me so many fun opportunities. Thanks to all of you that read and encourage my nonsense!!

Are you a Stylelist Home fan?

Arrow Obsession

July 23, 2012/ Michelle Scheibe

I have a mind blowing addition to our powder room to share with you today. Apartment Therapy is going to be all over this stuff.

I have a recent obsession with arrows. I don’t know why. It’s a weird Michelle thing. (Along with many others.)

I found this little wooden arrow at Michael’s. I grabbed my trusty red spray paint and got to work. I painted it with lots of cardboard underneath. Our driveway is still recovering from my red nutcracker painting. Oops. Sorry, driveway.

It might seem a little small now but there are plans for crown molding and a new window treatment. Someday.

Nate wanted to point the arrow down. Boys.

I think I will paint our mirror red….when I find the perfect one. The one we have now is too small. It was purchased pre-understanding of spatial arrangement. Not that I really get it now. But sort of.

Yes, the light plate still needs fixed. We don’t want to rush things around here.

Have you made any little but big changes lately? Anyone digging arrows?

Navy Rug Obsession

July 18, 2012/ Michelle Scheibe

My newest obsession is a new rug for our living room. I love obsessions. They keep me entertained during slow work days. You can send my Pharmacist of the Year award directly to my home. Thanks.

Do I need a new rug?

Hmm...define "need.” Nate says "no." But he's also a fun hater so take that for what it's worth. For the record, he really hates my obsessive personality. I told you. He’s a fun hater.

We are starting to think about putting in built-ins around the fireplace...which will lead to a room transformation. I'm digging navy lately. I think it will add a little color to a very neutral room. Plus our current rug is too small for the space. I think it's very pretty. Just small-ish. I also have decorating ADHD.

I know some of you like to day dream about rugs too so I'll share my current loves. Feel free to enable me all you want. I really am just day dreaming at this point. I’m trying to be less impulsive with my decorating purchases. It’s hard. Real hard. Super hard. Need medication hard.
Let’s drool together.

This rug is probably my favorite. Naturally it would be over $1000. Dream big, little pharmacist. Dream big.
