I have a slight obsession with thrifting books lately. Vintage books have actually become quite a popular design "go-to" these days. You can style them anywhere! They aren't just for bookshelves. Think mantels, coffee tables, and even under lamps to give them height. I did just that in my dining room makeover... These days, I've been on a crazy hunt for…read more

Hi, everyone! If you didn't see on Instagram (you can follow me HERE), I mentioned a magazine reaching out to showcase my oldest daughter's bedroom! Pretty exciting! She'll be 13 this summer, so while this proved to be an exciting opportunity, there was also a bit of panic on her end. You see, we designed this bedroom when she was 10. While…read more

  Hi there! Wanted to update you all on what I've accomplished in this One Room Challenge project, and fill you in on some holdups and hiccups... The wood for the reclaimed wood wall is on its way but still hasn't arrived. So I've painted the entire room except for the wall the wood is going on. Can't tell you how annoying…read more

As soon as my husband walks in the door, my younger kiddos beg to be chased around the house. It's the cutest thing ever, even though I (lovingly) tend to give my husband a look that says, "Why does it always get so LOUD when you come home?" It's squeals galore, and when they've finally settled, our foyer rug is always out…read more

Folks, I did a little underestimating over here. You'd think six weeks is a long time to redecorate one room, especially when there aren't a lot of (or any) renovations; no big demolitions. I was a little overly confident in the beginning. I knew what I wanted in my head and thought, heck, all I need to do is paint the…read more

Hi guys! If you're following me on Instagram, you know I threw out the idea of answering whatever questions you had for me: design questions, get-to-know-you questions, anything! I loved what you sent my way. Here's what I'm sending you back... Q) Have you always been a fan of color? How do you recommend starting to incorporate color into your home? A)…read more

 If you missed the dining room reveal, you can read about it (and see 30+ photos) HERE. Today I'm taking you behind the details of the gallery wall.    I've said it before and I'll say it again, art does not have to have significant meaning behind it in order for you to welcome it into your home. Sometimes it's simply the…read more
