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. Yes, I'm still a lover of all things neutral decor and layering texture into a room, but lately, color has crept its way into my home.[...]
ERMERGERD! Did you hear? I’m a featured designer in the Spring One Room Challenge and couldn’t be more excited about it. I’ve participated in the ORC twice as a guest participant…the first was my home office in the old house. When I look back five years ago, I srsly ask myself, what on earth were you thinking?[...]
This Covid Coop Up has mind dreaming of fun new spaces. The other day, I found myself wandering from room to room, contemplating, "Do I like you? Could you be better? How can I change you?" The dining room became my first victim...I suddenly had big and bold modern dining room design ideas! Yes, you read that right...THE DINING ROOM![...]
Rewind four years ago, I was on a train for my morning commute into the city. The Boy was calling, and he was slightly panicky, "don't be mad." He had accidentally flooded the basement. 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. Indust[...]
This week we are digging into one of my favorite styles, vintage decor. To up the ante on this whole Brand Ambassador title, I asked myself, "Kyla, can you recreate your living room with only Walmart home decor?" Now you know, I decorate with unique, eclectic, one-of-a-kind pieces. I took a deep breath and said, "challenge accepted!"[...]
It's easy to get caught up in Pinterest's home decor eye candy, but the ever-changing revolving door of pillows, vases, and seasonal items can pack a punch into the wallet. I've been there and could not keep up with the Jones'...nor did I want to. That, my friend, is why I signed on to be a Walmart Brand Ambassador. They challenged me, o[...]
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[...]
