Design Ideas From KBIS
The first post was getting a little too long for my liking, but I still have SO MUCH to share about what I saw at KBIS. I was totally inspired by all of the saturated colors at the show. You might be thinking that a kitchen and bath show would be pretty boring, maybe a little too white – and you’d be wrong. There were shocking and bold colors in nearly every booth I visited…

Before and After: My Home Office
When we moved into our house, there was this awkward little room off of the dining room. The room had gross, red paper tile. Kitchen cabinets hung on the walls. It was a tight space, but there was potential for it to turn into valuable square footage. We envisioned it being the perfect place to keep a computer and the piles of paperwork that comes with being an adult…
Signature Style: Velvet Upholstery
The goal of my projects is to have them reflect my client’s personal style. I want the home to look like them, with my guiding hand. That said, there are a few themes I work into many of my designs. These themes are the what I like to think attract clients to me. They are part of my “signature style.” For this first round, let’s look at velvet upholstery…

We knew we were moving at the end of September, so we’ve had plenty of time to think through the design plan. It has gone through a few rounds of edits, but I think it’s finally in the place where I can share it with you all. If the plan seems intense, well, it is. We have A LOT of updating to do…
It’s Time To Talk About The New House
In November, we sold our first house (of 3.5 years) and moved into our forever home. We spent the entire time renovating it, room by room. We started by painting the entire place ourselves then moved onto meatier projects, like renovating our kitchen.

We fixed up everything we possibly could, while not pricing ourselves out of the neighborhood we were in…
