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[...]
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.[...]
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[...]
The front living room was the first space in the house I completed after we moved in. Since then it's had a few updates here and there, but the layout and large pieces have remained the same. The itch for change became a scratch and something had to move. I started playing with a mood board and of course a budget. Here we go again, chann[...]
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!"[...]
Today I have a before and after furniture reveal that is mind-blowing. A while back, I wrote about a quest for the perfect TV watching sofa. When we first moved into the house, I had purchased a vintage sofa with the thought process — it was preowned, it already has dents and dings, and I won't be sad when my kids wreck it. That though[...]
I'm saying goodbye to the vintage leather couch and hello to comfortable modern sofas for the living room. Apparently, we live like savages and have completely ruined that old couch. A living room makeover is in order because there are now 2 gigantic holes in the center cushion where my daughter likes to dig in her Barbie heels, it's unc[...]
Sometimes, I like to play if I had a million dollars, I might makeover my living room. Late at night, I start scrolling through Pinterest and get lost for hours. The other day, a funky green tufted sofa caught my eye, and it got me thinking. That beauty would look mighty fine combo'd up with a pretty pink somethin' somethin'. About 3 hou[...]
When Marianne Brown emailed me out of the blue and said, "Hey, my home is unique, cool, and eclectic, would you like to feature it on your blog?" I said, "Heck ya I would! Home tours are hella fun." Why do I like featuring homes that don't belong to me? If you guessed, "Kyla, you're that total weirdo that looks into homes o[...]
