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.[...]
OMG, I'm a big selfish jerk. I only shared my new gold velvet curtains on Instagram and never shared them here. And let me tell you, beautiful, cheap curtains and drapes need to be shared, plus a full round up on affordable velvet curtains. I pinkie swear I wasn't trying to keep these a secret. I have no idea why this happened - let's cha[...]
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, channe[...]
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 front room with only Walmart home decor?"

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 unco[...]
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.[...]
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 hours[...]
Yep, I've been hearing that a lot lately...lots of folks asking me about the sofa I chose for the DesignOff. Today I'm going to break it down and talk a bit about the Chicago-based furniture company Interior Define, and why I chose the Caitlin sofa. Photo by Emilia Jane Photography I first heard about Interior Define a couple of yea[...]
