This is a post where modern home decor meets my modern personal life. I've known the homeowners of this fabulous place for, wow, over 20 years now...girl, can you believe it's been that long? Carrie was my boss at a startup dot com back in 2000. Her style has evolved over time, and I can officially say, this home tour is hands down my fa[...]
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[...]
Today is a special day! Stephanie from Casa Watkins Living asked a bunch and me of amazing home decor bloggers to join in a holiday home tour blog hop. All week long, these talented people will be opening their doors to share how they deck the halls for the holidays. So put on some up some holiday music and settle in because we have a re[...]
Ever since we moved, the design in the master bedroom just seemed off. The navy blue headboard was too high, and there was a weird inset between two storage closets where there should have been something amazing, but no matter what I popped in there, nothing screamed shazam. There was a disconnect between the old design and the new[...]
The kitchen demo is almost complete, which means I better nail down my decor decisions, especially the Cambria quartz. So how am I going to dress up this former fast flip from the previous owners? Let's dig into glam kitchen decor with final stone selects and some glammed-up decor options. As previously mentioned, to keep this[...]
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[...]
Drew Barrymore just dropped a new home decor line at Walmart called Flower Home, and it couldn’t be any more perfect! It’s a little bit boho, with a touch of glam and whimsy. So Drew, and right up my alley. Oh, and did I mention it’s completely affordable? Ummm ya. As of late, I’m under a pretty strict budget, so I thought this c[...]
My bar cart plays a couple of different roles in my home. Most days it serves as a simple vignette, but when it comes to entertaining, it’s a hard-working party machine. If it’s happy hour, that sucka needs to be fully stocked. Boozy basics and fun mixers for guests to shake, stir and sip need to be on display. But how does one still[...]
