Less or more? I generally fall into the more is more category. It just feels lived in and comfortable and that’s what I think home should feel like. Though, make no mistake, each addition was placed there thoughtfully, with a purpose. Candles for mood lighting during a bath. An extra plant because I am constantly shifting them around for the best light. This ivy needed a little extra sunshine.

What do you think? Less or more?

Instagram told me it was 🌸National Pink Day.🌸 Did you know? Sharing my studio/office space seemed appropriate once I knew. I repainted the room last year and I have no regrets going pink! It definitely feels like a neutral to me.

Still need to do something about those curtains. 🤔Better make a list and put replacing them at the top.

Peeking through. I used to try and keep the door to the closet closed at all times, not anymore. I love seeing view to the closet from the entry. Keeping the door open means everything has to be picked up so that Freddie doesn’t run off with items tossed on the floor. But that’s really okay by me.

Honestly, I just wanted those wire shelves gone. And proper storage that looked neat and tidy. So, designed the closet to suit our needs, had it built and then I just kept adding on the layers. That’s just what I do. Swipe to see the before of the closet and the glass cabinet I up-cycled as a shoe cabinet. What’s your favorite part?

Thanks to Susan @houseofbrinson for the genius idea to use fabric to hide the necessary, but unsightly storage.

Thanks to these @oneroomchallenge sponsors for their contributions. @apartmenttherapy

Can you tell from these photos that our patio is k

Can you tell from these photos that our patio is kind of small? It's true! The existing patio is only 10 feet deep. Once we added our furniture, we didn't have much room to walk around the space. It felt cozy to us, but the furniture regularly got rained on and wasn't as welcoming to guests as we would like it to be. ⁠
⁠
I had kind of just accepted it as it was. We had downsized. Smaller house, smaller patio. But then we started to consider what it would take to make it bigger and decided to go for it! This is supposed to be our forever home. So why not?⁠
⁠
You can check out the progress in my Stories today. I will also add a Highlight going back through the process until now. ⁠
⁠
See more of what this space looks like in this blog post about last summer's cure for close yards. ⁠

It’s official, the mess, dust and clutter result

It’s official, the mess, dust and clutter resulting from our @OneRoomChallenge bathroom and closet renovation is gone! I thought it was cause for a celebratory spot on the feed with a vase full of white peonies. Oh, how I wish these blooms had a longer season. But I guess that’s why we all love them so much.

What are your weekend plans? Mine are to completely reshoot the bathroom photos. I very sweet follower emailed me to let me know I had tape on the top of my mirrors. I thought that was so kind of her to do so privately. And now I share it here publicly. 🙄Yes, I am embarrassed, but I’m human. Missing a detail like this is likely proof of my complete exhaustion at the end. Did you notice?

Elevate the ordinary. Dare to dream big. Create ro

Elevate the ordinary. Dare to dream big. Create rooms that makes your heart leap inside each time you walk in. When it comes to designing rooms for my own home these are principals I innately follow. For clients, the goals are the same but with their vision and how they want to love and feel are paramount.

This bathroom started out basic and some would say perfectly fine. My first attempt was to improve it on a budget and it was better. But I still dreamed of something more elevated. I planned and worked and saved until I could make those dreams come true.

Sometimes design is an evolution. Sometimes you create a vision that comes to life in 8 weeks. Sometimes it is both. Keeping the same footprint definitely helped make that happen.

Thank you to my sponsors for their contributions to this makeover. @vintagetub @novobp @love_the_room @calicocorners @custompictureframes @bemistoiletseats

Closet Reveal for the One Room Challenge is on the blog. While the full reveal of the bathroom is coming shortly, I hope you take a moment to see the transformation of our shared closet. We couldn’t be happier with the results. ⁠
⁠
So much went into this little room that it’s no wonder I haven’t fully finished the bathroom.🤭 In my defense though, I am waiting for a couple key items to arrive for the bathroom and will share as soon as I am able. ⁠

“Family isn’t an important thing. It’s everything.” Michael J. Fox⁠
⁠
I knew this week’s update would be minimal for the One Room Challenge. Our daughter graduated from college this weekend and we were thrilled to share our pride with visiting family. ⁠
⁠
At the same time, my mother became ill and was hospitalized. She is improving, but it will be a long recovery. Your prayers for her complete healing and restoration would be greatly appreciated. ⁠
⁠
I hope to return home soon and get back to work. I couldn’t be more excited with how the bathroom and the closet are shaping up. I hope you will follow along. ⁠

When I acquire a new plant, I should do a better job of onboarding them. I should warn them if you need water more than once a week, you should learn to adapt or be prepared for a slow death. ⁠
⁠
As much as I love my plants, I have realized that is my capacity for care. Once a week. That’s all you get. ⁠
⁠
Anyone else?⁠

It’s week 4 of the @OneRoomChallenge! Things are just getting down and dirty and dusty, so I thought I’d share more about what I hope becomes my favorite little jewel box of a room-the primary closet.

Swipe and check out the blog for how I plan to go from this, this and that, to something more like the gorgeous inspiration from @suzannkletziendesign!

Link in the bio and in my Stories. I’ll also be sharing a look at the mess from yesterday’s demo.

What is one thing you wish you could add to your closet? I’d love to hear!!

Week 3 of the @OneRoomChallenge with @apartmenttherapy. ⁠
On the blog, I share my decision overload and the small progress.⁠
⁠
And a full look at the mirrors that arrived this week!! Come take a look at some of the decisions that have been made and the ones still up in the air. ⁠
⁠
I realize now I have been lucky the last few years. I had miraculous (or maybe well-planned) breaks in client work that allowed me to better focus on the Challenge. This year, I have 1 project currently in construction, 2 in various stages of planning and execution and 1 in deep limbo with delays out of my control.⁠
⁠
Link in the bio. Also, be sure to check out the other participants on the #oneroomchallenge blog or follow the hashtag. There are so many fabulous projects coming to life. ⁠

Happy Easter Saturday! It finally got around to styling spring branches in the foyer this week. Just in time for the arrival of last minute guests this weekend. (Which is my absolute favorite kind of surprise when we had nothing special planned!) The vases don’t match exactly but doesn’t mean they can’t be used as if they do. Break the rules!

Hoping to make a cheesecake and cut some panel moulding today. I realize that is an odd combo of goals for the day. Proof spring is also @OneRoomChallenge season!

Week 2 of the @OneRoomChallenge! Today, I am elaborating on my European Luxury Primary Bathroom & Closet design plans. On the blog, I share inspirational images and talk about the key elements to the design. I know I’ve participated in 10 seasons of the ORC, but I find myself as giddy as I have every been over this one.

I know it looks like the room is well on it’s way already. But I promise you that does not mean this will not be a dramatic makeover. Check out the blog and stay tuned!!

I could not be more thankful for my sponsors!! Bathrooms are expensive rooms to makeover and their support is greatly appreciated.

It’s almost porch sitting season! Not that it hasn’t been pleasant enough to sit outside recently, it has more to due with the dreaded yellow, dusting of pollen. But I think we are near the end. We have big plans for the patio in the coming month or two. Check out my Stories today for what we’ve done to prepare for the changes ahead.

As much as I love the black and white scheme I’ve had out here, I’m ready for a change. Do you have a favorite color palette for an outdoor room?

The One Room Challenge officially starts today! On the blog, I’m sharing why this room, our primary bathroom and closet is getting a makeover.

I’m sure you might swipe through these images and think, that room is nice. And it is. But if you look very closely you might see what is terribly small in this room.

If you still can’t see it check my Stories today or get all the details on the blog. I also share one more thing this room is lacking that we would rather not live without!

The title of this season’s room gives you a hint at the design direction. And I couldn’t be more excited with how it is all coming together. It’s going to be incredibly luxurious!!

Rooms should evolve, don't you think? Even after a sweeping makeover like this one from the Fall 2020 One Room Challenge, a room can still benefit from at least small tweaks. Swipe to see the changes. Small as they are.⁠
⁠
I wasn't home from my trip to Round Top, Tx for more than 24 hours before I swapped out the art and displayed the "new to me" vase and baskets in our laundry room.⁠
⁠
While you know I love a good digital vintage print and use them widely in my home, nothing beats a genuine piece of vintage art. The print I used as a placeholder was fine, but this antique piece has my heart. And while I didn't necessarily have this spot in mind for the vase, it perfectly compliments this room. ⁠

We are Round Top bound today. Can’t wait to discover treasures for my clients and maybe a few for myself, too? @roundtopantiquestexas

I forget to share this corner of our bedroom. One of my favorite things is the antique Louis chair. It’s had quite the life even since I’ve owned it. It lived in the attic of 3 houses before it finally got it’s makeover.

Of all the hints of color I’ve incorporated into

Of all the hints of color I’ve incorporated into our living room since it’s original design, I think this shade of pink is my favorite. I wanted the pink to be sprinkled around the room, but struggled to find the right way to bring it to this side. Without buying anything else new, I shopped my house and “stole” this plant and planter from my office.

Even though I bought this planter, which is a favorite of mine, several years ago, it’s still available. It’s linked in the blog post and I’ll share it in my Stories too. If you are like me, you are always on the lookout for great planters.

🎉And who is excited about the new options on Instagram? I can’t wait to see how this plays out and I need to add my favorite follows to my Favorites. (I can’t pass up this opportunity to ask you if you would like to add me to your favorites? I would greatly appreciate it.)
