A small part of a recent renovation that made a huge impact on function and style. (One of my favorite parts of design is when those two collide in the most beautiful way.)

The cabinets were recycled from the existing kitchen. The extra space above the cabinets were clad with breadboard, like the backsplash, but a concealed sliding door was installed so the space was available for extra storage.

The dilemma was do I cut the tulips and bring them in or enjoy their beauty outside.

I have more beautiful plans for this bed. Follow along for garden inspiration. I’m not an expert but I’m learning so much and love to share.

While we wait for the lighter slipcovers for our s

While we wait for the lighter slipcovers for our sofas to dry on this not so sunny day, let’s look back to last spring in the living room. I haven’t given the specifics of my spring styling much consideration this year. The dusty pinks will likely make a comeback. I have no qualms about it at all. I’m just ready for a lighter and brighter look.

If you want a full look back at this spring look and how to bring the feeling of spring into your living spaces, feel free to visit the link in the bio.

I can’t speak to where you live, but here, it is

I can’t speak to where you live, but here, it is spring. Here’s why I say so.
1. It was nearly in the 80’s for more than 3 days last week.
2. The corner nursery and farmers market near my house hung the giant OPEN sign on their building this week. They always start the season with a fern sale. It will be interesting to see if the price goes up again this year.
3. I cut one tulip bloom and brought it inside to admire. The other 137 are still “processing” in the new flower bed. Check out my stories for Tulip Watch 2023.
4. The giant pear tree near my house is blooming and I will go trim a few branches today for a large vase on my dining table.

All this to say, I am going to try and stay off my computer and prep the house for spring.

I’m ready for it! Are you?

Giveaway below! I never miss an opportunity to bring vintage finds or antiques into a space. The layers of patina and charm found in vintage items are rarely found in new pieces.

I also never miss an opportunity to attend the @vintagemarketdaysofbhammetro! I always come home with unique items. Finding them all in one convenient shopping experience is the best!

Make plans to attend next weekend. February 16th - 18th at the Finley Center which has convenient parking and easy access.

If you are local, comment “let’s go!” and tag a friend to enter. Because an event like this is better shared!

I will pick a winner for 2 tickets to the event by Sunday at 10am.

I always come home with great treasures and I know you will too!

Giveaway not sponsored or endorsed by Instagram, yadda yadda.

The smallest sneak peek of a a kitchen from whole

The smallest sneak peek of a a kitchen from whole house project very literally years in the making.

These homeowners have had the worst luck possible with just about every subcontractor they hired. (Bless their hearts. They had their own subcontractors hired before they brought me on board.)

Today, I was finally able to go and style a small part of the kitchen I designed for them. It was so nice to see them happy and getting settled in their house in the country. Hopefully, this is just the beginning of making it a warm and welcoming home.

The following photos are the markers I use to remind myself where to turn because the house isn’t on any kind of map. “The turn is right after the deer mailbox and then take right side of the fork in the road.”

Another look at a recent powder room project. I don’t know about you but I love a room with high contrast and drama balanced with pretty details. It is hard to truly capture the feeling of a small space but hopefully this moving picture 🎥brings you to another level.

The design agenda for this client's powder bath remodel was rooted in the cottage aesthetic, but make it bold. I love when a client wants to make statement in a powder room, to welcome guests into a little jewel box.⁠
⁠
On the blog today, I'm sharing all the details behind the design and how this powder room became the beneficiary of the primary bathroom remodel. Gaining inches make all the differenc in a small space. ⁠

Waiting on spring. Resisting the urge to rush to spring inside when the air is still cold and the light is brighter without the cover of the trees. While the landscape seems monochromatic this season embracing contrast feels nice. Soft branches, that don’t feel too spring-like and soft textiles make it feel cozy.

What are your favorite ways to overcome the blah’s of winter? Or do you just throw yourself directly into spring in your home?

Plants are part of the finishing touch in any room

Plants are part of the finishing touch in any room I style. It took me a while to find the right specimen for our glamorous bathroom update, but this ficus tree (Ficus Nitida) was worth the wait.

In here, I love how it softens the expanse of glass which felt cold and empty before.

The window to this room faces south to south east and is filled with bright light all day. I water it once a week most of the time, but the proper care is probably every 5 days especially in the warmer months. (This takes some effort on my part because I either buy or train my plants to except watering every Friday or Saturday.) The ficus does occasionally drop leaves and it makes me sad and worried, but soon new sprouts emerge and I know all is well.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not opposed to a faux tree when conditions aren’t right, but in this bathroom a living thing is infinitely better.

What a beautiful bathroom to wake up to! My client

What a beautiful bathroom to wake up to! My clients knew they wanted a luxurious bathroom with charm of cottage style. The floor plan was a challenge from the start, but I’d say the goal was achieved! All the details are on the blog. Link in the bio.

If you are in the Birmingham area, I would love the opportunity to help you achieve your home goals. Just fill out the project intake form under the “services” tab on the website.

Happy New Year! The tradition at our house is to t

Happy New Year! The tradition at our house is to take down Christmas during the day. For dinner, we always have my grandmother’s cabbage casserole and black eyed peas. Southern lore says black eyed peas will bring you luck and cabbage will bring wealth. Who am I to tempt fate? It’s just what we do.

Back in 2015, when the blog was just for family and friends, I added my version of my grandma’s recipe to the blog. I’ll add the link in the bio if you are interested. (Don’t expect much of the photography.) Even my cabbage averse family will eat this. Every year, I eat all the leftovers for lunch over the next few days and then get on the path to healthy eating.

What are your traditions for New Year’s Day? I’d love to hear. I always find family traditions fascinating.

Oh, and about this image. I loved seeing this little tree on the table I picked up from Roundtop Texas this year. I will miss this view.

The top stills of 2022. Thank you for “still” liking photos on the feed. 😉 So grateful to share these squares with you. Thank you. Here’s to another wonderful year!

Algorithm note: all of these photos are from much earlier in the year with one exception. The most recent reveal of the client bathroom. Could it mean Instagram is finally leaning into photos again? We can only hope!

One more remodel on the blog before the year is up

One more remodel on the blog before the year is up! A traditionally inspired cottage style bathroom was completely remodeled with elevated, luxurious finishes. The uninviting, chopped up floor plan needed to be reimagined in the existing footprint. The solutions and the full reveal are worth seeing, but the story behind the scenes takes this client’s bathroom from a successful project to a personal full circle.

It is about now that people start taking down thei

It is about now that people start taking down their Christmas decor or start talking about doing it. I prefer to keep it all up until January 1 for several reasons.
1. I am generally not ready to see it go.
2. I love keeping the house feeling festive for New Year’s Eve.
3. When our children were little, the week between Christmas and New Year always felt slower paced and I truly got to enjoy the season. So now it’s a tradition.
4. All of the above are good reasons to procrastinate. 😂

Whatever you choose, to do is right for you and your family. I understand that some people are ready for a clean slate and others keep their Christmas up to follow a religious calendar.

Who’s kitchen is ready for some holiday baking.

Who’s kitchen is ready for some holiday baking. I’m going to start tonight or tomorrow. I usually try to wait until closer to the big day. I like my treats to be fresh and if I make them too far in advance my people eat them before the holiday has come.

What are you baking this year? Anything new to your lineup?

In case you missed my Christmas in the kitchen home tour check out the link in the bio. I share tips for fuss free decor and a look back at our Christmas in the kitchen over the last four years.

The dreary days of December create the perfect scene for the twinkling lights and the glow of candles. May you see the blessings and beauty in these quieter moments of the season.

This reel was intentionally pulled back to give you a feel for how our living and dining spaces interact as one vaulted room, instead of the separate shots I generally share here.
