How to Update Your Design Style

January 11, 2018

In case you missed it, I’m an interior designer. Designing spaces with different styles and colors comes pretty naturally to me. I love risk taking because I can visualize it in my head–so the outcome isn’t scary; I already know how it will look. It occurs to me though, that other people aren’t able to do this as easily. That’s why they update their space once a decade, and then *WHEW* they are done and don’t have to worry about it.

Vintage Inspired Kid Room with SO Much Whimsy!

January 8, 2018

Today, I’m showing you this really super awesome kid room. It’s so so lovely. This design makes me feel like it belongs in a Redwood tree in a fairy forest. It is dreamy and airy and precious and soft and warm and oh so much yes.

I love the opportunity to use color, texture, and pattern. Most people shy away from it, but if it’s done properly, it will look great every single time. What’s best about mixing patterns is that it automatically gives you a sense of nostalgia. Like, when you remember how your grandma’s house looked. There was pattern everywhere!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I am so thrilled it’s finally 2018. Wasn’t 2017 filled with a bunch of things you talk to your therapist about? Whew, glad that’s over.

Select Art for Your Home Like a Pro

January 4, 2018

This post is going to be a fun one. I obviously love all forms of art and I currently want to move because I am running out of wall space for MORE ART PLEASE. I would thrive in a space that would let me art to my max. Art is so fun and so personal and I feel like this is turning into a PSA. Putting art in your home is such a wonderful way to show off that personality of yours.

French Bistro Inspired Dining

This post makes me supremely happy. It is the second in my French inspired series. In my last post about my French inspired KITCHEN design, we talked about what makes it truly French inspired? What are the elements of classic French bistro design?

French Bistro Inspired Kitchen

December 18, 2017

I think one of my favorite design styles is taken from the French. I love love love those phenomenal black French iron windows and that black and white penny tile. When looking at apartments in NYC, which is something I do too often, it makes me so so happy when I find a bathroom with original black and white penny tile.

Traditional Bedroom with PLAID

December 9, 2017

Hey there! As I’m getting older (I just turned 32!), I find myself having more traditional leanings. OH GOOD GOD. Granted, now my version of traditional is different than most, but still, times they are a changin’.

Maybe it’s my obsession with master designer, Brian Patrick Flynn, who designs all the HGTV dream homes, but I have recent leanings towards plaid everything.

Blushy Neutral Kitchen that is SO Airy

December 7, 2017

I’ve been dreaming lately about kitchens. Maybe it’s because mine is so tiny that Derek Zoolander would exclaim, “WHAT IS THIS? A KITCHEN FOR ANTS?!”. Maybe it’s because I have 8 inches of counter space and frequently use the tile floor as a cooling rack for post oven foods and I use the bathroom sink as an auxiliary kitchen sink. In fact, your master bathroom is probably larger than my kitchen. I also can’t believe people have master bathrooms.

Farmhouse Bathroom Gone Modern

December 5, 2017

The farmhouse style is #trending, to say the least! But you can still have a successful nod to farm life without being all literal about it. Today, I am going to show you how to do just that.

Personally, I enjoy the farmhouse style. It makes me feel like there is always bacon and biscuits in the house. Most of my thoughts are food related, FYI. I love the airy-ness of this style and the predominance of natural materials like wood. SO much wood. And also, it is just so dang cozy!
