My mother in law is really creative. There is just no competing with her. I mean, we all remember the burger bite cookies right? Her real talent is in decorating though. She can take things she finds in the alley and whip them into a treasure in minutes. I am always talking to my friends about her great ideas so this past month I had the chance to snap some pictures of her super creative, mostly inexpensive ways to dress things up. Now, I have NO idea how she does most of this stuff but she is getting into social media so the good news is that if you have any questions at all about the how-to’s below you can leave a comment and she can try to help you out. You can, also, follow her on Pinterest. Today’s theme is all black and white decorating ideas but you will love future posts and pictures on bathrooms and chandeliers so stay tuned.

    Okay–I either want to live at your Moms house, or have her come decorate my house. Is she a professional? I love how she coordinated everything so perfectly, even down to the trim on the dresser!!

      I know, right? She isn’t too far from you Julie. She isn’t a professional decorator but she is amazingly talented and spends next to nothing on all her projects. If she would only blog she would be a bazillionaire 🙂 But, we have her going on Pinterest now so follow her.

A Bit About Me…


I truly love the wonderful chaos of motherhood, but as my kids grew, I started craving a different kind of pace and a sense of calm I couldn't quite find.

Moving to the coast, which is my happy place, really changed how I live the day to day. Now, I just try to bring more calm into our days, even though they're still pretty busy.

It's not about making life perfect. It's just finding some balance and little bits of peace in the middle of the happy hustle, letting the salt air work its magic on the chaos.

Knock, Knock! Anyone home?

I no longer participate in PR campaigns of any type. I consider this blog to be in retirement but here for anyone who would like to read. I started this journey in 1998 with a company I named “Chaotic Communications”. I am so happy to have lost that chaotic feeling. Today I have rebranded that life and work to simply “Indigo Ink“. You can click that link to find my latest projects.
