This Covid Coop Up has mind dreaming of fun new spaces. The other day I found myself wandering from room to room, contemplating, "Do I like you? Could you be better? How can I change you?" The dining room became my first victim...I suddenly had big and bold modern dining room design ideas! Yes, you read that right...THE DINING ROOM![...]
Rewind four years ago, I was on a train for my morning commute into the city. The Boy was calling, and he was slightly panicky, "don't be mad." He had accidentally flooded the basement. Five weeks after we moved in, it was raining buckets of water from the ceiling. The existing carpet was ruined. Drywall was falling off the walls. Industr[...]
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[...]
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[...]
Drew Barrymore just dropped a new home decor line at Walmart called Flower Home, and it couldn’t be any more perfect! It’s a little bit boho, with a touch of glam and whimsy. So Drew, and right up my alley. Oh, and did I mention it’s completely affordable? Ummm ya. As of late, I’m under a pretty strict budget, so I thought this co[...]
My children have been neglected...well, I should clarify...their bedrooms have been neglected. What can I say, bedrooms for little kids kind of intimidated me. Colors and patterns can easily turn into a hot mess, and let's face it, I'm not the type of parent who will sign off on a Disney princess themed room...much to my daughter's disma[...]
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[...]
When we bought the new house, the dining room was the first space I started decorating. In fact, the Girl in a Chemise Picasso painting (BTDubs...so not real...yes, I've been asked...I ain't that bougie) was the first piece of home decor we brought into the house on closing day, and she might just be the only thing that's never been moved[...]
Confession, ever since I visited Cambria, I've been dreaming of a kitchen makeover. Not that there's really anything wrong with mine, but...Pinterest, am I right? Some gals want diamonds, others tropical beach vacations...me...I long for a beautiful stone waterfall kitchen island, new countertops, a killer backsplash, and cabin[...]
