Closet Reveal for the One Room Challenge is on the

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. ⁠
⁠
Many thanks to my sponsors seen here @calicocorners @novbp @charlestonhardware @joliepaint⁠

“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 st

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 elabo

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?

Planning to spruce up your outdoor space this season? Check the link in the blog for my 9 Essentials for a Cozy Porch or Patio! It’s one of my favorite articles on the blog.

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.)

Spring has been making it’s way into the living

Spring has been making it’s way into the living room with touches of pink. See how I incorporated just the right shade and tone into my fairly neutral palette on the blog. Be sure to visit my talented blogging friends who opened up their spring rooms to inspire us all and are linked in the post.

I’ve also tagged them in the photo if you would like to visit them here as well. They are all worthy of a follow.

I made a promising discovery in the backyard yeste

I made a promising discovery in the backyard yesterday (when it felt more like spring than winter like it does today). I was pulling a few weeds and moving around mulch and found the tiny sprouts of my peony bushes emerging! I planted three last summer and hoped they would come back this year. I’m still a beginner when it comes to growing peonies, especially here in Alabama. I was successful in Missouri, but that is a whole different growing environment.

The variety I planted is called, “Shirley Temple” and is white with hints of blush pink. The garden center I purchased them from, @leafnpetal, said they are a great variety for warmer zones. I can’t wait to see them in full bloom!

Have you ever grown peonies? Of course, the peonies in these photos were not from my garden. They were from Trader Joe’s, but how thrilling it would be to have a vase full from my own yard!!

Now that spring has temporarily stepped back from

Now that spring has temporarily stepped back from us, it’s even more important to bring spring into your home to lift your mood. (Anyone else have freezing temps ahead of them this week?)

In comparison to last spring, I went in a new direction for an accent color and I embraced a few more of my favorite things. Plants and these lovely bust head planters. I just can’t get enough of them. ☺️

Check out the link in the bio for the rest of this look, more info and links to 20 more spring mantels from my creative friends is sure to inspire you.

Hope you are enjoying a bit of spring this week! Today was the day for the return of the lighter look for this room. The dark grey slipcovers are packed away until the Christmas season. This scene is from last year’s spring look for the living room. I will be sharing a fresh take on the spring mantel on Tuesday. I can’t wait to share it.

Link in the bio to last year’s round up of 20 more spring mantels in case you need some inspiration.

Creating a multi functional space in our laundry r

Creating a multi functional space in our laundry room was the goal. While I knew the room would likely be filled with plants, I can’t say imagined creating a seedling station. And yet, here we are. I think I can happily give up a shelf for one of our laundry baskets for the next couple weeks.

I think most laundry rooms become multifunctional spaces. The dog washing station often becomes a plant shower and water bowl or bucket filler. While I gave up laundry folding area of the original layout, this double sided use of space works the best for us.

It’s official. 🌸I have spring fever.🌸 The warm temps of last week were fleeting, but stuck around long enough for us to work in our front flower beds and now I’m ready to plant ALL the things. These peony blossoms I purchased from @afloral are lifting my spirits though.

Of course I prefer real over faux, but I often have bad luck with peonies I buy from the store. I find myself waiting expectantly for the buds to open and they just wilt and die. So sad. Link in my Stories to both types of blooms.

Have a beautiful weekend! About to bundle up and take Freddie for a walk before he drives me absolutely bonkers. (If you are new here, Freddie is our demanding Irishdoodle.)
