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…

Another Design Box Checked – The Kids’ Bath Wallpaper Reveal!
—
by
Well, well, well. A year and a half after the “reveal”, I finally did the update that this bathroom always wanted – wallpaper, and it looks so good that even my kids noticed and went out of their way to tell me! There is nothing sweeter than your 11-year-old son saying “Mama, I love the…

My Brother’s Beautiful Guest Bedroom – A Warm and Modern Retreat
—
by
I wouldn’t exactly say Ken asked for a pink and dare I say purple guest bedroom but here we are (and we all really love it). But the thing is, bedrooms are my favorite, and guest rooms (and kids’ rooms) are my most favorites – you can lean into an idea, a theme, or a…
