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![...]
After posting the viral wallpapered closet, I received a few emails asking for recommendations for the best peel and stick wallpaper. Great question! I'd love to answer that, especially since removable wallpaper has come a long way. If you're living in a rental, apartment, or college dorm, a temporary option like peel and stick wallpaper[...]
The closet I wallpapered in the foyer was featured on Apartment Therapy and started trending again...the reviews were a mixed bag. After reading through the comments, I felt compelled to revisit How To Wallpaper 101 and the reasoning why I chose to wallpaper a closet and why it was the best idea ever!

Last week I was a #TRADspotter and toured The MART with Luxe Home Chicago and Traditional Home magazine. What a complete treat for the eyes!

Time capsule homes with wallpaper in the bathroom, master bedroom, living room, and even on the ceiling. I'd snap a picture, post it to Instagram Stories and the response was bonkers. From then to now, one thing's for s[...]
Meet the tiniest room in my house that has been my biggest design challenge to date. An update on our modern bathroom makeover has been long overdue. Like waaaaaaay long overdue. Here's a quick walk down memory lane. Remember when the basement flooded, and we decided since we were forced to renovate, why not gut the bathroom? Well, every[...]
Dear diary, it's been over a week since my last blog post...ahhh! I'm so sorry because I was smashing that post once a week New Year's Resolution. The job that pays the bills came down on me hard with a crazy deadline for a new client website. Everything needed to be designed and coded in a matter of days for a presentation. And darn it,[...]
At the end of December, I dropped a bomb post stating I was certifiably insane. Yup, I started another bathroom renovation, but it was necessary.
