My New Prop Garage Reveal – Including IKEA Shelving (Non-Spon) And A Lot Of Vintage Collections
I am a new person. Transformed! The fact that there aren’t more before/after shows for the “chronically disorganized” (me!) is a real missed TV opportunity. Now, I do give myself grace because the amount of stuff one has to have to do this job, run this company, and create so much design content so frequently…

Hi everyone! It’s me, Jess. In case you’ve missed my dad, Les’, boomer dad gift guides, he’s quickly become a beloved contributor here at EHD. And while I couldn’t be more biased, I honestly wasn’t surprised. He’s my favorite person, and getting to share him with you is simply the best. (Plus, he feels like…

The Most Magical (And Rentable) Retreat That My Best Friends Created: The Carly Tour
As you know, I took my team to the new luxury estate property in Oregon Wine Country for our last retreat in May, and as the first guests, we were blown away. Now, what you might not know is that it’s owned by one of my best friends (of 25 years), so I write today’s…

BIG Landscaping Update – Phase 2 Is Done And Our “Mistake” Is Finally Fixed!
I can’t tell you how happy I was to fix our own HUGE mistake – 1/3 of the sports court is now gone in favor of a lot of greenery, flagstone, picnic tables, and trees. We hired Dennis’ 7Dees to design and execute, and it went SO WELL. Started in February and done by late…

Revisiting A 2013 Project, DesignLoveFest’s Apartment (+ What I Think About It Now)
In our grown-up pursuit of “timelessness” (which gets more intense as we get older), it sure is fun to see a time capsule of our youth. The year was clearly 2013, and two “internet famous” bloggers collabbed on what now feels like OG vintage influencer content. When I stumbled on Bri Emery’s apartment from 2013,…

My Friend’s Moody Dark Green Dining Room (You Should See The Before)

by
This is a real pleasure to introduce you to an eclectic cool dining room I helped design for one of my best friends. If you haven’t seen their living room, dining nook, or basement go check those out afterward, but what you’ll see is a continuation of this “traditional with a big edge” style, employing…

A Pink Breakfast Nook Of My Dreams (My Friend’s Makeover I’m Jealous Of…)
Apparently pink rooms are having a moment over here (my guest room, my brother’s guest room) and while technically this room was painted before I took over decorating I will happily take credit for how pretty it is. Nicole and Curtis, two of our best friends, chose Dead Salmon by Farrow & Ball for this…

My Friends Took Pattern Drenching To The Next Level With Spoonflower – And It’s Epic!
I love having creative friends and will brag about them endlessly – especially those who are braver than I am design-wise. I can be so safe and care so much about “timelessness” (especially with permanent finishes) so being friends with people who take risks so naturally, without second guessing is so fun for me. So…
