Seriously, how are we halfway through this challenge already? I'm exhausted and not even doing the heavy lifting. My poor contractor is dealing with my, "let's customize everything in the smallest amount of time mind frame"...oh, and hey Gerry, I also need you to fix a basement and yet another bathroom makeover. Can we all take a pause a[...]
Yep, I've been hearing that a lot lately...lots of folks asking me about the sofa I chose for the DesignOff. Today I'm going to break it down and talk a bit about the Chicago-based furniture company Interior Define, and why I chose the Caitlin sofa. Photo by Emilia Jane Photography I first heard about Interior Define a couple o[...]
Ooof! How has a week passed? Can you riddle me that? When you're knee-deep in the One Room Challenge time flies when your swinging sledgehammers. Gerry and his team are hard at work and so am I...finally picked a tile for the bathroom makeover, and lemme tell you, it wasn't an easy choice. Wanna get into it? Let's roll! First and[...]
Oh, One Room Challenge...you are the mistress I love to hate. Your pull is strong, my dear. When I don't participate, I feel left out...but when I do, I question my sanity.

She clued me in on the fact that we are all obsessed over '70s design trends, and we didn't even know it. ERMERGERD!!!!! Seriously, she's so right! Don't believe me, r[...]

In an op[...]
You wanna know who's dripping with talent? Ashley Redmond from Decorist, that's who. This interior design superhero crushed the 3D renderings of the living room project. Jojotastic, you're going down girl. BTDubs, check out my review on this 3D home design software. It's pretty cool, and you don't have to be a professional interior desig[...]
When you buy a new old house there are so many issues that can pop up. Ours is not old, old...like Victorian old. I mean, let's face it.
