Simplify Gardening with The Gro Project

May 16, 2013

Miracle Gro's The Gro Project: Simplifying gardening for a whole new class of gardeners.  Gardening can actually be fun and enjoyable!

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 + a bright green gleaming thumb.  At the moment, with each sprouting bud, a thought of accomplishment passes through with a little mental, … [Read more...]

Powder Room Remodel: Repairing Wall and Hanging Wallpaper

May 14, 2013

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 alot done and I feel like I'm making progress - even though it's slow. Since announcing the plans for the powder room and sharing details on … [Read more...]

Today's guest post for the Creating a Meaningful Home Blog Series is Brittany of Pretty Handy Girl. Welcome Brittany... ******************* Creating a meaningful home isn't an overnight process. I think many people are discouraged with their home if it isn't the dwelling of their dreams. I look at creating a meaningful home in three stages. Each stage is important to loving the home that you have now, even with its faults. 1. Grateful for What You Have. Living in a home with a roof over your head that keeps nature's elements out is a luxury. {Read it again.} Living in a home with a … [Read more...]

Playful, Modern, Vintage: The New Collection at CB2

Playful, Modern, Vintage: The New Collection at CB2 by the Novogratz Family

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 been working with a local client that has an internet startup company that wants to emulate the aesthetic of an office similar to google with a … [Read more...]

Craft Room: Progress of Client Project _ Designed by @Jenna_Burger

This morning, I mentioned that I was headed out early for a site visit to check on the progress of the mega craft room /office space that I've been working on for the last few months.  It's a local project which I shared details about a few weeks ago and the transformation has been amazing. In the last post about this project, the construction hadn't even begun, but since then alot has happened, including: Removal of the popcorn ceiling Removal of old carpet and installation of new hardwood floor (in this room and throughout the entire house) Removal of old window treatments New … [Read more...]
