Nugget(s) of the Week!
Coming out of a great holiday weekend can be tough. Luckily we had some fun nuggets this week to keep the weekend spirit going! First, Monday night we had a “Sprucette Bonding Night” seeing the new Sex and the City movie. We headed to Alamo Drafthouse, loaded up on fried pickles and some brewskies! We [...]

Fabric: All Things Floral
I know that it has been mentioned before that I adore flowers. As often as I spend my free time devouring design inspiration, I am also trying to soak up all that I can about flowers. If I could have fresh flowers in my home every week, I would die happy. I love their fragrance, [...]

Inspiration of the Week: Musicals!
So, I know that when I first introduced myself I mentioned that I like musicals. This is a bit of an understatement. When I used to travel to NYC quite a bit, I would pack in a show a night. I didn’t care if I had someone to go with, all I knew is that [...]

Nugget of the Week: Keegan

Inspiration of the Week: Chicago
This weekend, my girlfriends from college and I took our first annual “Great Escape.” We got the idea from an amazing article in Real Simple. The rules of the Great Escape are as follows: Once a per person budget has been settled on, one friend will plan the entire trip without telling the location to [...]

Nugget of the Week
So, lately we have been cracking up about how many funny little things happen here ALL THE TIME. I often see Amanda brought to tears over some ridiculous incident that has happened that week. I use the word “nugget” to describe these little hilarities. For me, a nugget refers to a tiny morsel of perfection. [...]

Fabric: All Things Ikat
I of course have a chair that needs to be reupholstered. Each of the Sprucettes have a hand full of our own projects that we can never seem to get to. And it doesn’t help the decision making process either when you are surrounded by the most beautiful fabrics on the planet. It’s like having [...]
