I got 99 problems but a pillow ain't one...well, that is until I try mixing patterns. Then I have all sorts of issues, but that's a totally different blog post. My workaround is if you buy enough pillows eventually you find the perfect mix. Solves all problems, am I right? Most rooms in the new house are really starting to com[...]
A couple of years ago, I virtually met Ashley Redmond when we worked with Decorist to redesign my guest bedroom. I must admit, I had a tiny girl crush on her when I checked out her portfolio. She's this super cool interior design chick, who has killer style and practices yoga...and she was going to help me design my living room in m[...]
The other week you got to read the doozy of a story about how The Boy broke the basement. Many of you sent me sweet messages saying, I'm so sorry...oh that darn deductible. How much will that cost to fix? Can it be repaired? Chin up. This is just so awful. How on earth did a sink do this much damage? You guys, these are al[...]
The new house has posed many furniture challenges. Coming from an open concept to more of a traditional layout has proven to be difficult. One cannot take a living room from the old house and plop it into a new house. No sir-e-bob. Case in point, our beloved sectional. Well, both sectionals actually...fondly known as couchzilla. In an op[...]
To shake things up, my girl Erica Reitman is going to be a contributor, and this week she is talking small space design rules! When I asked her, I totes expected an, "Umm, no, I don't think so sweetie." I mean, she writes for Elle Decor, HGTV, and Domino. So imagine my surprise when she said, "Heck yeah! Sounds like fun!" Can you say jaw[...]
Do you remember my seriously sad patio? Bare, cold, and blah about sums it up. If you've been watching my Instagram, then you've already seen sneak peeks and some smack-talking to my Design Off challenger Jojotastic (aka Joanna). She and I are in this knockdown drag-out fight...errr, ya no, it's really more like a friendly little be[...]
While attending Alt Summit, I received an email from Decorist asking if I could join them in the reveal of the Seattle Showhouse furnished by The Mineand installation by Porch. I think I had a look of sheer panic on my face. I mean, I was in Salt Lake City all week for Alt, and now possibly Seattle the following week? The Boy might no[...]
While perusing outdoor furniture, I stumbled upon a fancy rattan chair. The Boy had just okayed purchasing patio furniture, so the search was on. I made an offer to the seller that was soon accepted, and I made an appointment to pick it up. I drove an hour and walked inside his home. My heart skipped a beat, and then I quickly sank. Here[...]
With both bedroom makeovers wrapping up, I have decided to keep being crazy with the old ball rolling on the home makeovers. This time I'm looking at you my home office. It's a hot mess of books, papers, magazines, vintage treasures, vases, lamps, random pretties I like to Instagram and then forget to put away, and possibl[...]
