AllModern asked me to put together some virtual living room designs with their furniture that is currently on sale and share them on Instagram Stories, but how could I create killer virtual designs and not share them here? During the holidays, all of the furniture below is on sale - up to 40% off! Be sure to check out all of my living ro[...]
The latest upholstery project really pushed me out of my comfort zone, especially the bold rust fabric on the vintage Alky chair. Although all that color and pattern was nerve-racking, I was so happy with how the chairs transformed the room. Keeping that same frame of mind for the modern fireplace makeover, I've decided that since this is[...]
If there's one thing I've learned about designing a room, it's never one and done. There will be a second, third, and probably ninety-seventh iteration. Since publishing the living room makeover last week, I have been redesigning the redesign and wanted to share it here to get your thoughts. Modern Velvet Blue Sofa Rust Sw[...]
My living room is in need of a makeover. Wait, let me rephrase that; it doesn't NEED a makeover, rather, I'm itching for a change, so I've been playing with a mood board for a modern living room makeover.

Five weeks after we moved in, it was raining buckets of water from the ceiling. The existing carpet was ruined. Drywall was falling off the walls. Industr[...]
People ask time and time again to describe my style. Gaahhhhhhh, really? I have absolutely no idea where to begin. I mean when I see it I know it? Does that count? A little old. A little new. A little quirky. Sometimes pink. All things French. They look at me with a blank stare. Sorry, I got nothin' else for ya. Fast forward to a f[...]
Last week I chatted with you about finally decorating the kids' bedrooms. Since we always treat them fair, I've decided to get a bit nutty and tackle both bedroom makeovers at the same time — which are presently a random mish-mosh of chaos. Pretty much bare bones and literally zero personality. Shame on your momma. The storage doesn'[...]
My children have been neglected...well, I should clarify...their bedrooms have been neglected. What can I say, bedrooms for little kids kind of intimidated me. Colors and patterns can easily turn into a hot mess, and let's face it, I'm not the type of parent who will sign off on a Disney princess themed room...much to my daughter's disma[...]
