When shuffling our room around to accommodate our new sectional, I had to switch to a smaller scaled end table.  This led to the decision to opt for a floor lamp behind the table vs. a table lamp.  There would just not be enough space to accommodate a lamp and well, anything else on the table!  I went through dozens of options trying to find the perfect lamp for the space (as well as budget).  … Read More

You all have loved these single armed wall sconces!!! As well as those sexy gold dipped bulbs.  Unfortunately, the sconce source is no longer available, so I went through and found some great alternates at even better price points.  I have also included a chrome version which would look amazing with a chrome dipped bulb!!

And here is a tip for making sure your brass looks timeless and not nineties… choose an un-lacquered finish.  … Read More

Before deciding to do the art rail installation over the toilet, the blank wall seemed rather ominous.  While not a huge spans of wall, it was definitely large enough that a single piece of art may not have been quite enough.  Knowing how much the couple loves art, I played with the idea of a traditional gallery wall, but in the end the art rail/ledge idea felt right.  … Read More

I am so glad you all loved the Master Bathroom over at #ProjectFamJam as much as I do.  I wanted to share the accessories that were used in the space today, the only problem is most of them are either vintage, thrift store, eBay or finds from local shops…  So, I have tried to pull together a grouping of items that are either in the space or alternates that I would 100% put into the space.… Read More

I am partnering with Kohler to discuss some of the latest trends in bathroom and kitchen design.  The timing actually could not be better as I have recently completed the Master Bath over at #ProjectFamJam and the results land right into two of Kohler’s projected trends for 2018.  White and Pattern.

Now White is nothing new to Bathroom or Kitchen designs, it is classic and clean… two things typically desired in those spaces.  … Read More

I hope you all had a great holiday weekend.  We not only celebrated Easter/April Fools, but also my father’s birthday as well as a kickoff to Spring Break!  Even though we are staying in town, the girl and I are hitting up the amusement park a few times this week and in between roller coaster visits she is being my assistant on a few projects.  … Read More

Much like Christmas decor around our home, I tend to shy away from the traditional colors and shapes.  Same goes for Halloween and Fall decor… it is not really my thing.  We trick or treat with friends elsewhere, so I feel guilty decorating for Halloween and then not being home for the kids!  … Read More

When planning our addition, I had a pretty set plan in mind.  I knew we needed/wanted a master suite and a mudroom/laundry room.  And since we will be losing our top deck, the addition of a smaller top deck or porch would be ideal for a grill and a small sitting area.  My architect and I both agree that the best location to enter into the new addition from our existing home would be through our dining room, or the space which is now our library.  … Read More
