Getting Started With The Family Promise Playroom (It’s Going To Be FUN In Here)
If you’ve been following along closely, you’ll know that we’ve been connected with an incredible shelter called Family Promise for a while now. They’re a non-profit organization in Portland doing wonderful work for our community, providing housing and support for families experiencing homelessness. They took over an old motel, transformed it into a 70+ household…

My Kids Rooms Through The Years (Bring On The Nostalgia)
Dear god, that sweet boy is now 11, which is not what this post is about, but a reminder that you were all right. When I first had Charlie, all you moms before me said it would go by so fast, and while I knew you were right (it is the universal sentiment) I’m still…

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 One Day Makeover For My Friend – A Teen Basement With Colorful Gallery Wall Using What They Already Had
—
by
When I retire I’m going to do this once a week for fun (and a little extra spending dough) – pop into a home, edit, curate, and restyle, then “BYE”! Like a fairy god-Styler (??). It’s INSANELY satisfying. Nic and Curtis were stumped with how to hang all their art down in their new dark…

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…

I’ve Been Secretly Decorating My Best Friends House – Living Room Reveal Today!
—
by
People use the word “thrilled” far too often when it should be reserved for me in moments like this. When it comes to this house I’m like a proud grandpa shoving wallet photos of my grandkids into strangers faces. Expect pride + bragging, with a big dose of personal bias. This is one of my…

My Brother’s Kitchen Patio Reveal (Yes, With A Huge TV….Of Course:))
—
by
My brother has this side patio right off the kitchen that is covered year-round and the architecture is so pretty (thanks to architect Anne Usher) so I wanted my hands on it, mostly so I could convince him to have us over for summer kid outdoor movie nights while I swim in the river. It…

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…

A Quick River House Guest Bathroom Reveal
—
by
Welcome to a quick reveal of my brother’s guest bath which is small, cute, blue and right next to that new pink bedroom that we are obsessed with. Max Humphrey and I designed this together – starting almost 3 years ago when I was still in Arrowhead! He has the same tile in his bathroom,…

THE UPDATE WE’VE WANTED: Lea Downsized To An Apartment And This Is How She’s Turning Their Rental Into Their Urban Oasis
Hey friends, it’s been a while since I last updated you with our downsizing journey. If you missed it, no worries, you can catch up here. We are going on a year probably by the time this is published, and I have to say, it’s been less challenging than expected, and we are loving it…
