The History of Monkeys in Home Décor (and Why We Still Love Them)

April 10, 2026

If you’ve ever spotted a cheeky brass monkey lamp or wallpaper filled with little monkeys swinging through vines and thought, why is this a thing? -- you’re not alone.

Monkeys in home décor might feel like a quirky, slightly unexpected choice, but they actually have a long (and surprisingly sophisticated) history in interiors. Their presence isn’t random; it’s tied to art history, global trade, and a long-standing fascination with the playful, mischievous side of nature. And once you know the story, it makes their charm feel even more intentional.  

Let’s get into it—because this is one design motif that has truly stood the test of time.

How to Find Vintage Chandeliers on a Budget

April 5, 2026

Let’s be honest—finding a good vintage chandelier at a great price feels a little like winning the decor lottery.

We’ve all seen them: those perfectly aged brass beauties, the delicate crystal fixtures with just the right amount of patina, the charmingly quirky mid-century pieces that somehow make a room feel instantly elevated. But actually finding them without paying a small fortune? That’s where things get tricky.

Understated Easter Carrot Wreath

March 27, 2026

There's nothing wrong with going all out for Easter decorating, if that's your thing. It's easy to get caught up with bunnies and eggs and baskets. I did it for many years while our kids were growing up. (I have the bins in the basement to prove it.)

However, these days I'm more into a laid back vibe for most holidays. Yes, you can have laid back, understated, even (dare I say) elegant Easter decor.

How to Fill a Clear Vase with Cabbage Leaves

March 22, 2026

There’s something about early spring that makes us want to freshen up everything—and one of the simplest, most charming ways to do that is right on your tabletop. Enter: cabbage leaves in a vase. Yes, cabbage. It’s unexpectedly beautiful, wonderfully budget-friendly, and absolutely perfect for spring and Easter decorating.

Adding natural elements like cabbage leaves to your clear glass vase, in addition to your flowers, elevates your floral arrangement, making it especially perfect for spring and the Easter holiday (if you celebrate).
