Remember a couple of years ago when I flew to Minneapolis and hung out with Cambria Quartz? It was three days of creativity that left me design dreaming. If you're a regular follower, you know I've hinted at a kitchen renovation ever since, but now it's finally happening! I'm giving my kitchen a modern glam makeover and taking you along[...]
Do you ever have one of those projects where you work sooooooooo hard planning, and then nothing seems to go right? I’m smack dab in the middle of planning the closet renovation, and instead of tackling each issue one by one, I’ve been sticking my head in the sand, hoping it’ll just work itself out. Worst plan ever. After watching[...]
Closets...they're boring, right? They don't have to be when you've taken How To Wallpaper 101. Miles Redd changed my mind when I heard him speak at the Design Influencers Conference last Spring. His argument, in a nutshell, imagine yourself as a guest, standing in a foyer. The homeowner says, "May I take your coat?" The closet door opens[...]
Confession — there's a wall in my home you never see. The dreaded tv wall. A big black box eyesore that every home decor enthusiast tries to hide. Regular folks say, just deal with it. I get it, that's exactly what I've done. It's a part of life. Almost everyone owns at least one television, and in my home, there's no living without it.[...]
When Sengled Lightbulbs asked if I wanted to try their wireless smart lightbulbs, I was like, ummmm, it's a lightbulb. *shrugs* What's to try, right? Before I agreed, I typed Sengled into google to do a little research and soon found out that these were not your ordinary lightbulbs. Wireless Smart Lightbulbs The Boy is all about c[...]
When we first moved into the new house, my phone was slow. My iPad was slow. My laptop...you guessed it, slow. The Boy was at his wit's end with 3 different WiFi networks in the house plus multiple repeaters. If you were upstairs, you got dropped from the stronger network. Sometimes you'd be on the slowest network, and no matter how many[...]
Meet the tiniest room in my house that has been my biggest design challenge to date. An update on our modern bathroom makeover has been long overdue. Like waaaaaaay long overdue. Here's a quick walk down memory lane. Remember when the basement flooded, and we decided since we were forced to renovate, why not gut the bathroom? Well, every[...]
We are going strong here in renovation land, and I gotta say, install day is quickly becoming the Kyla's really happy day. It's when everything comes together, and the vision that's resided inside my head transforms into reality. AHHHHH! Last Monday, I shared the tile install in the basement bathroom, and today I'm sharing the Karndean v[...]
At the end of December, I dropped a bomb post stating I was certifiably insane. Yup, I started another bathroom renovation, but it was necessary. That basement bathroom was so dingy and yucky; there was no excuse not to update it. As long as we're getting dusty and Gerry and his crew were at the house anyway, why not knock it all ou[...]
