Remember that walk-in closet renovation? Well, after publishing the before closet makeover tour, I came down with a case of covid. Everything came to a screeching halt for a week while I was quarantined in the bedroom. But as soon as my time was up, all systems were a go. We hauled out all the clothes, the old closet system including tha[...]
When we first looked at this house, I remember walking up the stairs, and my realtor said, "Wow, this house just keeps going...", followed by an audible gasp. She had found the primary closet. The addition that the previous owners built included one heck of a closet with his and hers sections, built-ins, and a washer and dryer. Ya, it's[...]
A few years ago, I shared my excitement for the arrival of our Samsung Frame TV, and since writing that review, I have invested in 2 more. One for our primary bedroom and another for the home gym. Yes, they are that special. If you're unfamiliar, The Frame is a TV that looks like art - an interior designer's dream come true. And although[...]
Back in the day, I used to publish a home to-do list. No matter how big or small the project, it was written down on the list to hopefully be checked off.

Well, it just so happens that the surround and stone for the modern fireplace makeover arrive at the same time as the One Room Challenge began. Do you know what that means? I'm jumping in, baby! The last time I participated, I was an ORC featured designer and had so much fun. Why not do it again? Am I right? RELATED: The bric[...]

You may have caught a few glimpses of this DIY on Instagram Stories, but if you missed it, here is the full tutorial on how to install a ceiling medallion in all its glory, including the final reveal, w[...]
The guest bedroom closet turned into a catchall for junk. While painting, I kept staring at those white sliding doors, wondering if I could purge all the boxes to create a cozy closet reading nook...minus the work of building a built-in bench. Girlfriend ain't got time for that kinda DIY right now. We're gonna keep this closet makeover q[...]
When I gave the primary bedroom a makeover, the ivory headboard didn't pop as I wanted. And that's sad because it's a damn good headboard that should shine. How did I want to proceed with the bedroom makeover? Yes, I could paint, but I wanted something more luxurious. Limewash? Venetian plaster? How about some black luxury wallpaper from[...]
