I’m sitting on the plane right now, on my way to High Point, NC, where three or four times a year I come to trade shows for home furnishings and textile markets. Highpoint shows are really big. People from every aspect of the design industry go there to conduct business. From celebrity to rookie designers,…

The Business of Being Boho: Getting Digitally Organized with Evernote
This Post Was Created In Partnership With Evernote. My business has evolved SO MUCH over the past couple of years. I went from being a one- woman-show that I ran out of my living room, to moving into a proper office, and this year, hiring my first salaried employees. It was a (very!) big leap….
The Business of Being Boho: Instagram Etiquette: Using Other Peoples’ Images
I hopped on the Instagram train pretty early, in 2011, back when vintage filters and scratchy ‘frames’ around the photos were still a thing. Now, five years later, I have three accounts (a personal account, a Jungalow account, and an account for the Face The Foliage project, curated by the Sister Golden Shop) and through a series of…

Bohotastic Biz Babez
Today’s bohemians seek to erase the distinctions between work and play, and our living and work spaces reflect that lack of boundaries. We chase free wi-fi, blog from laundromats, and check our email while barefoot on the beach. However, sometimes the carefree life isn’t all brunch and butterflies. Furthermore, having another boho babe to bounce…
Jungalow By The Mountain Pool Renovation
This is the story of a pool transformation. But, I want to start off by saying that the “before” photos of this pool are not some wretched hole-in-the-ground swampy “before” photos that make the “after” photos all the more enticing. The “before” photos of this pool are, in my opinion, really beautiful. In fact, the…
