"They both slow you down. They’re both transportive. They both smell good. They can both be enjoyed at the same time" - Laurel's words, when I asked her what she likes about the connection of food and books. I've enjoyed sweet treats made by Laurel's hands for many years, but it took a wh
About This Product Once upon a time…the name Laurel came to be. Our personalized art print celebrates the singular story of Laurel’s remarkable journey through history, featuring a detailed account of the name’s origin, meaning and how it managed to survive the test of time. The descriptive words at the bottom of Laurel’s print reflect the spirit and energy of its “Destiny Number” according to numerology. Whether Laurel is a newborn, teen, or grown-up, a family member, friend, teacher, co-worker or any special someone, each story is an inspirational reminder of her core identity: Laurel, that one wonderful word by which she is known. As a gift or keepsake to honor and inspire the Laurel in your life, our art print makes for smart, engaging and distinctive décor.

Dear Laurel, Would you consider a blog article on bathroom storage for the small bathroom – where there is not room for a beautiful antique armoire for storage – but simply – double gasp – over the toilet storage? Can that ever look elegant? Thank you for considering, Anne You mean like this? […]

Read the full Affiliate Policy.I said last month that one of my favourites on TV is How to Get Away with Murder. It’s one of those shows that I really look forward to watching. While it’s over for another season, I can’t wait till later this year when Season 3 will be released. As well as the crazy plot lines and characters and twists and turns (ohmyword so good), I love the characters’ fashion. I think my favourite characters’ style is Laurel Castillo. I love how many different print tops she has, and how she can rock the black-and-white look as well as a multitude of colours. I also really like her necklaces, and how she actually wears the same ones on occasion. I hate it some shows have their characters in literally something different every single episode. I’m sorry, that’s not realistic. Laurel wears her necklaces and some of her tops more than once throughout the show. I especially like the top in the top-row middle image, and her blue dress right in the middle. A lot of these images were found on Worn On TV, and Shop Your TV. These are great sites you can go to and find out where you can buy clothes that TV characters wore. Check it out! You can also find outfits just by Googling the Season and Episode, or checking out sites like Celebrity Style Guide which also has movies and TV shows listed. Which of these outfits do you like? Maybe not your style?

Dear Laurel My laundry room is rather large, and evocative of a British tack room. Well, except it has the dreadful “boob” light, still. I looked all over your blog and couldn’t find anything on laundry rooms. So, maybe a future post re: laundry rooms that aren’t all country cutsie? I also need lighting inspiration. […]
