The Library is complete! Phew.  While this space came together fairly easy, there were a few more detailed projects that went into this space.  We kept our existing builtins and the “fireplace” mantel.  But everything else has been switched to transform this space from my daughter’s old makeshift bedroom into our new library.  … Read More

Today I am revealing the housewarming party I created with SunTrust Mortgage.  Not only through pictures, but through a video as well.  It is so nice to see the backstory of the couple, how important making a home is to them and the added bonus that I was able to help them introduce their new home to their friends and family was such an honor.… Read More

Chloe’s new room and loft bed are complete and we are all in love.  As I mentioned before, we transitioned her into my stepson’s old room as he has left for college.  My daughter, who is seven now, choose the initial design for her room from one of my design books and was adamant that her bed be identical to the inspiration.  … Read More

I hope you all had fun watching the eclipse yesterday!!  It was a little cloudy here, but we were still able to see it and celebrate the event with friends (& cocktails!).

While not all styled and perfected… I wanted to bring you all along on the entire journey of creating the little ladies space.  It is real life around here most off the time after all, sprinkled with photoshoots every now and then.  I will fully admit that the first thing I should have done was to paint the room.  But I am impatient.  … Read More

As I mentioned yesterday, we have gone through a few changes around our home this Summer.  And one of these changes might cause dramatic reaction.  The boy’s room… is no longer.  I know. I know.  It was a tough choice to make.  Believe me.  The boy has graduated High School, has bought his first car and is off to live the collegiate life.  … Read More

I spent a lot of time researching brackets, rods, methods, etc to create this drapery canopy for the bed.  I had seen a lot of inspiration images in the past, but upon looking more closely at the photos, I quickly realized how many ways this could be accomplished.  The main issue I was having was the corner brackets.  If corner brackets weren’t used, the corners got a little bulky/clunky not the look I was looking for.  … Read More
