Spring Cleaning Storage

Posted on May 22, 2013 by Sheila Salvitti

Lately I have an overwhelming need to purge the junk and organize my whole house, top to bottom. Feels like the end-of-pregnancy nesting gene gone into overdrive. Is it the Spring air? (Anyone else just want to get rid of everything!?)

Problem is, I have a 13 month old and so. much. stuff. These stripe bins from The Container Store are really helping though.

They look great in my house (I love striped anything), they hold a ton of toys, and at $9.99-$14.99 each, you can’t beat the price. I have two large ones – highly recommend. Super cute for a beach house.

Is there any other flower that screams “SUMMER!” like a blue hydrangea?

Before and After wow

Posted on May 16, 2013 by Sheila Salvitti

I’ve shared my love of before and afters over the years, but this one might be an all-time favorite. Came across it on Pinterest and couldn’t believe my eyes!

Makes you want to think twice about looking at a ho-hum house doesn’t it?

Room with a View

I would do dishes around the clock if this was my view.

Can you even imagine?! That view kills me!

Perfection.

Gentlemen: need a gift for the sun-worshipping mom in your life? Snag one of these too funny beach towels.

Who wouldn’t smile every time she uses it? (Get it here.)

I keep a running wish list of things I want in our forever house. (Does anybody else do that? Is it just an occupational hazard?)

I think I need to add an outdoor fireplace to it after seeing this one.

I love this house for its black and white striped awning.

Reminds me of the ones at two of my favorite local stores. Hatch in Ambler

New Listing Alert

Posted on April 24, 2013 by Sheila Salvitti

You know how people love the smell of a new car? I love a new house smell. Someone should make a candle of it. Or a dangly air freshener. (I would totally buy them.)

One of the reasons I love my new listing so much? Two years old and still smells brand new! Check out how gorgeous this 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath Philomeno & Salamone townhouse is:
