Simplify Gardening with The Gro Project
This post brought to you by Miracle-Gro. All opinions are 100% mine. I've been known to say once or twice that I've been dealt a black thumb {urban dictionary definition: A wannabe gardener who kills plants. Opposite of green thumb}. That kinda sounds like me. Sadly, my gardening prowess is far from A+. Yet, with each Spring that rolls around, I feel the drive and excitement to keep trying in hopes to one day have a gorgeous garden … [Read More...]

Powder Room Remodel: Repairing Wall and Hanging Wallpaper
Between baseball, a birthday party, and celebrating Mother's Day (shout out to all the moms out there - hope you had a great day), there was very little time to actually get anything major accomplished on the DIY homefront this weekend. BUT, somehow with 5 minutes here and 10 minutes there, I was able to squeeze in a few trips to Lowe's (for supplies) and a few moments to hang wallpaper. And thankfully with those spare moments, I actually got … [Read More...]

Playful, Modern, Vintage: The New Collection at CB2
This post brought to you by CB2. All opinions are 100% mine. My personal design aesthetic steers more towards transitional with a touch of modern and a touch of classic. So basically I call it Classic Eclectic. But I appreciate the look of most other styles and one reason I love my job of working with clients as an Interior Designer is that I can live vicariously through them to create spaces that are abit out of my realm. Recently, I've … [Read More...]
Summer Home Decor Trends
I can not be more happy that Spring is here and Summer is fastly approaching. As the seasons change, so is my decor. It's time to ditch the heavy wools and tweeds, and move towards lighter-weight cottons and linens. As I'm in the midst of preparing for the warmer months ahead, I was asked to join Heather, of Hometalk, in a Twitter chat about Summer Home Decor Trends. I am thrilled and excited to be able to share my design thoughts and … [Read More...]

Powder Room Remodel – Phase 1: Removing the Existing Toilet and Pedestal Sink
My feet are sore and my fingers have a few blisters, but it's well worth the pain for how much work around the house was accomplished this past weekend. It was the first days of really nice weather and aside from a baseball game and a birthday celebration, much of the weekend was spent cleaning out the garage, sprucing up the exterior, and starting the powder room remodel. I shared details of my plans for the powder room a few weeks ago and … [Read More...]
17 Stunning DIY Light Fixtures
Lighting fixtures are one of my favorite ways to personalize and change the look of a room. A dynamic and unique hanging pendant, wall sconce, or lamp can give the awe-factor to any space.

I was thrilled when Miriam of Hometalk reached out to me to curate a collection of DIY lighting fixtures. I hurriedly scoured the site for some … [Read More...]
DIY: Vertical Pallet Garden
The warmer weather has got me movin' and groovin' outdoors. This past weekend I got my DIY mojo on for this months Lowe's challenge and created (what I think) is something pretty cool. Check out my newly created Vertical Pallet Garden using colorful pots... Though the flowers are finally starting to peak through around the yard, I was in need of color NOW to start decorating my front porch for Spring. I, of course, hit up my local … [Read More...]
Striking Spring Porches, Doors, and Entryways
Spring is finally peaking through. It's the perfect time of year to open up the windows, let the fresh air in, and rid the winter decor for some fresh, new, colorful accents. We can finally come out of hibernation, step outside the front door, and actually spend time looking at our homes instead of darting directly from the indoors to the car in 2.8 seconds to avoid the frigid cold (well maybe that's just me - hehe). The entry to a home sets … [Read More...]
