It's no secret that the living room in my home has been a challenge to decorate. This awkward living room layout has frustrated me between the wall of sliding glass doors leading out to the patio, the French doors, and the fireplace. Yes, I can style it for photos, but it just feels off when you're standing in the space. If you want to l[...]
Unless you've been living under a rock, you've heard all the noise that is ChatGPT. I've been playing around with it since early December, right before it went crazy viral. In fact, one night, I was up until 3 AM asking it to do everything from outlining a website to writing a poem about Nicholas Cage designing a living room in the voice[...]

That deep saturated blue-gray Farrow & Ball DeNimes paint paired with the honed limestone fireplace reminded me of prison walls or better yet, a[...]
The latest upholstery project really pushed me out of my comfort zone, especially the bold rust fabric on the vintage Alky chair. Although all that color and pattern was nerve-racking, I was so happy with how the chairs transformed the room. Keeping that same frame of mind for the modern fireplace makeover, I've decided that since this is[...]

So if you want a change now, reupholstering chairs or a sofa could be your best option, but it can be an investment, so let’s chat about how to[...]
After I pressed publish on my Serena & Lily Home Decor Favorites post, I added this brass floor lamp and the Parisian side table I was coveting to cart.
