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! If you missed my Instagram Stories, I saved them as a highlight in my profile. There was "one new to me" company that I was completely wowed by. Maya Romanoff's wallcoverings are out of this world. B[...]
Closets...they're boring, right? They don't have to be when you've taken How To Wallpaper 101. Miles Redd changed my mind when I heard him speak at the Design Influencers Conference last Spring. His argument, in a nutshell, imagine yourself as a guest, standing in a foyer. The homeowner says, "May I take your coat?" The closet door opens[...]
2018 is going to be the year wallpaper shines. I can't tell you how many estate sales I attended where it was the star. 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 su[...]
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, everyth[...]
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. That basement bathroom was so dingy and yucky; there was no excuse not to update it. As long as we're getting dusty and Gerry and his crew were at the house anyway, why not knock it all out, ri[...]
With all the Cubs hoopla, my Week 5 One Room Challenge post got a bit lost in the shuffle. But don't you worry that pretty little head of yours; we are on schedule and feeling fly y'all. Potty Paradise is almost complete, and Gerry and I are snoopy dancing on the Clé Tiles...okay, Gerry's technically not dancing like this, but I'm all...[...]
Ooof! How has a week passed? Can you riddle me that? When you're knee-deep in the One Room Challenge, time flies when your swinging sledgehammers. Gerry and his team are hard at work and so am I...finally picked a tile for the bathroom makeover, and lemme tell you, it wasn't an easy choice. Wanna get into it? Let's roll! First and for[...]
Patterns, patterns, patterns...there are so many to choose from! How do you narrow it down to just one? Or to make the decision more difficult, how do you pick more than one pattern that doesn't make your home look like a crazy fruit bowl? How do you make them mesh...be fluid? If I thought picking a paint pallet was tough, adding in patte[...]
