🗝️If you’re an old soul who’s into historic homes, vintage and antique finds, interiors that are cheerful, elegant, cozy and nostalgic, have or love someone who has ADHD, are a long-suffering Buffalo sports fan, and/or a 40-something mom - you’ll find all of those things here. Hi, I’m Kristen! Welcome🙋🏻‍♀️

  • ✏️At the beginning of every school year I have my students fill out an “All About Me” worksheet and one of the questions is, “What makes you special?” One day a a student asked me, “Mrs. Buscemi, what makes you special?” I thought for a moment and said the first thing that came to mind: “I’m special because I’m Matteo and Nico’s mom.” 
💐To my beautiful mom @mbcunningham2021 - I love you! Thank you for all you have done for me. Happy Mother’s Day 💕
💐To my beautiful MIL @phylbove - I love you and miss you! Thank you for your wonderful son. Happy Mother’s Day!

🎭Phantom of the Opera is my favorite musical and I truly felt immersed in the Phantom Ball masquerade theme. I’ve shared a few of my favorite moments here - and head to their page to see all of the details.
💃🏻The story behind my outfit: As I was deciding what to wear - I ran up to our attic to look through my costume box and came across a vintage Japanese kimono my grandmother had given me decades ago. Someone had gifted it to her and she’d never worn it, but told me she knew I would find something to wear it for someday. Thanks to my friend @kerrypieri for helping me style it - and Shannon from @laceandday for setting aside the perfect long black slip dress at a moment’s notice. The vintage purse was also my grandmother’s.

  • Part 35 - What’s Lost is Found 🗝️
👀I’d been staring at these modern black frames on our staircase for the past four years knowing I wanted to replace them. 
🖼️I thought about custom framing, but was hoping to find the perfect vintage frame/mat set while thrifting and antiquing.
🙏🏻Thanks to my incredibly talented artist friend Alexis @buffalobrushstrokes for suggesting I take inspiration from our century-old stained glass windows and search for vintage frames with green matting.
👩🏻‍🎨I’m going to - very carefully - try layering a thin coat of paint over the off-white/beige fabric matting (also a suggestion from Alexis). I love that the frames are slightly different, but I’d like the mats to match.
🌹As for the botanical prints, I full intend to reframe and display them in our home.
📷 Our boys’ newborn portraits taken by my talented husband, @andybuscemi 
🖼️Vintage frames: @heartsthriftstores & @ebay 
🎞️Poster-size photo prints: @walgreens
  • It’s been almost two years and I still highly recommend the “Henry” rug - kindly gifted by @loloirugs

  • How I transformed my bathroom without renovating - Part 1!
If you’re a busy mom who wants to look around at a pretty bathroom for the 5 minutes you have alone each morning - this post is for you 😂

Our bathroom is arguably one of the rooms most utilized in our home. It’s typically the first room we enter in the morning - and the last we exit before bed. 
It sets the tone for the day - and the mood for the evening. It should be anything but boring.

Swipe & save these valuable pro-paint tips from my friend, Kristine Teno of @tenointeriors - that helped transform my bathroom from dismal to designer on a budget. 

Next up in this series I’ll be sharing about mixing modern and vintage decor, choosing window treatments, lighting, and mixing metals!
  • Why renovate when you can paint and decorate?! 
✨You’re going to want to save this - 👩🏻‍🎨Today we’re sharing 3 PRO TIPS for choosing the perfect paint colors - bathroom edition!
My good friend Kristine @tenointeriors is an interior designer specializing in historic homes & professional paint color consultations. Her tips helped me COMPLETELY TRANSFORM the feel of my bathroom with paint alone - before I even added in decor & window treatments. 
✨Stay tuned for the complete transformation!

How I transformed my bathroom without renovating - Part 1!
If you’re a busy mom who wants to look around at a pretty bathroom for the 5 minutes you have alone each morning - this post is for you 😂

Our bathroom is arguably one of the rooms most utilized in our home. It’s typically the first room we enter in the morning - and the last we exit before bed. 
It sets the tone for the day - and the mood for the evening. It should be anything but boring.

Swipe & save these valuable pro-paint tips from my friend, Kristine Teno of @tenointeriors - that helped transform my bathroom from dismal to designer on a budget. 

Next up in this series I’ll be sharing about mixing modern and vintage decor, choosing window treatments, lighting, and mixing metals!

  • Discovered the ChatGPT “unhinged bio” trend and went down a rabbit hole…
🗝️If you’re an old soul who’s into historic homes, vintage and antique finds, interiors that are cheerful, elegant, cozy and nostalgic, have or love someone who has ADHD, are a long-suffering Buffalo sports fan, and/or a 40-something mom - you’ll find all of those things here. Hi, I’m Kristen! Welcome🙋🏻‍♀️

Thanks to my friend Amy @simplifybuffalo for this idea - head to her page, check out her unhinged bio - and give her a follow, too!
  • ✏️At the beginning of every school year I have my students fill out an “All About Me” worksheet and one of the questions is, “What makes you special?” One day a a student asked me, “Mrs. Buscemi, what makes you special?” I thought for a moment and said the first thing that came to mind: “I’m special because I’m Matteo and Nico’s mom.” 
💐To my beautiful mom @mbcunningham2021 - I love you! Thank you for all you have done for me. Happy Mother’s Day 💕
💐To my beautiful MIL @phylbove - I love you and miss you! Thank you for your wonderful son. Happy Mother’s Day!
💐To ALL moms (pet moms, god mothers, aunts and teachers who are like moms, grandmothers, moms who have experienced unthinkable loss, expecting moms, women praying to one day be a mom)…sending love to you on this day ♥️
  • Thank you to the talented team @avantimansion for another unforgettable night. 
🎭Phantom of the Opera is my favorite musical and I truly felt immersed in the Phantom Ball masquerade theme. I’ve shared a few of my favorite moments here - and head to their page to see all of the details.
💃🏻The story behind my outfit: As I was deciding what to wear - I ran up to our attic to look through my costume box and came across a vintage Japanese kimono my grandmother had given me decades ago. Someone had gifted it to her and she’d never worn it, but told me she knew I would find something to wear it for someday. Thanks to my friend @kerrypieri for helping me style it - and Shannon from @laceandday for setting aside the perfect long black slip dress at a moment’s notice. The vintage purse was also my grandmother’s.

  • Part 35 - What’s Lost is Found 🗝️
👀I’d been staring at these modern black frames on our staircase for the past four years knowing I wanted to replace them. 
🖼️I thought about custom framing, but was hoping to find the perfect vintage frame/mat set while thrifting and antiquing.
🙏🏻Thanks to my incredibly talented artist friend Alexis @buffalobrushstrokes for suggesting I take inspiration from our century-old stained glass windows and search for vintage frames with green matting.
👩🏻‍🎨I’m going to - very carefully - try layering a thin coat of paint over the off-white/beige fabric matting (also a suggestion from Alexis). I love that the frames are slightly different, but I’d like the mats to match.
🌹As for the botanical prints, I full intend to reframe and display them in our home.

🎭Phantom of the Opera is my favorite musical and I truly felt immersed in the Phantom Ball masquerade theme. I’ve shared a few of my favorite moments here - and head to their page to see all of the details.
💃🏻The story behind my outfit: As I was deciding what to wear - I ran up to our attic to look through my costume box and came across a vintage Japanese kimono my grandmother had given me decades ago. Someone had gifted it to her and she’d never worn it, but told me she knew I would find something to wear it for someday. Thanks to my friend @kerrypieri for helping me style it - and Shannon from @laceandday for setting aside the perfect long black slip dress at a moment’s notice. The vintage purse was also my grandmother’s.

Part 35 - What’s Lost is Found 🗝️ 👀I’d been staring at these modern black frames on our staircase for the past four years knowing I wanted to replace them. 🖼️I thought about custom framing, but was hoping to find the perfect vintage frame/mat set while thrifting and antiquing. 🙏🏻Thanks to my incredibly talented artist friend Alexis @buffalobrushstrokes for suggesting I take inspiration from our century-old stained glass windows and search for vintage frames with green matting. 👩🏻‍🎨I’m going to - very carefully - try layering a thin coat of paint over the off-white/beige fabric matting (also a suggestion from Alexis). I love that the frames are slightly different, but I’d like the mats to match. 🌹As for the botanical prints, I full intend to reframe and display them in our home. 📷 Our boys’ newborn portraits taken by my talented husband, @andybuscemi 🖼️Vintage frames: @heartsthriftstores & @ebay 🎞️Poster-size photo prints: @walgreens

How I transformed my bathroom without renovating - Part 1!
If you’re a busy mom who wants to look around at a pretty bathroom for the 5 minutes you have alone each morning - this post is for you 😂

Our bathroom is arguably one of the rooms most utilized in our home. It’s typically the first room we enter in the morning - and the last we exit before bed. 
It sets the tone for the day - and the mood for the evening. It should be anything but boring.

Swipe & save these valuable pro-paint tips from my friend, Kristine Teno of @tenointeriors - that helped transform my bathroom from dismal to designer on a budget. 

Next up in this series I’ll be sharing about mixing modern and vintage decor, choosing window treatments, lighting, and mixing metals!
