If there's one thing I've learned about designing a room, it's never one and done. There will be a second, third, and probably ninety-seventh iteration. Since publishing the living room makeover last week, I have been redesigning the redesign and wanted to share it here to get your thoughts. Modern Velvet Blue Sofa Rust Sw[...]
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. Indust[...]
For me, fall decorating is a tricky sitch. As you know I'm not a fan of bright colors... every time I try to incorporate anything more than navy blue the fruit bowl effect happens...but yes, I'm reading this book for color help. If I were to combine orange and red with pumpkin spice and everything nice, clutch the pearls honey, I'd brea[...]
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[...]
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 living room with only Walmart home decor?" Now you know, I decorate with unique, eclectic, one-of-a-kind pieces. I took a deep breath and said, "challenge accepted!"[...]
People ask time and time again to describe my style. Gaahhhhhhh, really? I have absolutely no idea where to begin. I mean when I see it I know it? Does that count? A little old. A little new. A little quirky. Sometimes pink. All things French. They look at me with a blank stare. Sorry, I got nothin' else for ya. Fast forward to a f[...]
Last week I chatted with you about finally decorating the kids' bedrooms. Since we always treat them fair, I've decided to get a bit nutty and tackle both bedroom makeovers at the same time — which are presently a random mish-mosh of chaos. Pretty much bare bones and literally zero personality. Shame on your momma. The storage doesn'[...]
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[...]
Last week I was invited to a design summit in Minneapolis sponsored by Cambria. (For which this post is not sponsored, but I really wanted to share because I returned fired up.) I walked in thinking inspiration for the kitchen and walked out thinking let's makeover the entire house. We toured the Cambria Processing Facility and got to se[...]
