Spotted Dresser // Ikea Rast

March 28, 2016 by Kristin Jackson No Comments

I was planning on taking new pictures… but between a busy Easter weekend and a dark rainy Monday Morning, we are just going to work with what I have already 🙂  Because the process was beyond simple.  
As I mentioned before, I fell & fell hard for the Kate Spade Downing Desk when it we debuted last year.  It basically epitomizes everything I love in one piece of furniture.… Read More

Hidden Roller Shades

March 23, 2016 by Kristin Jackson No Comments

One of the main issues we have always had with these doors/windows is the window treatments.  Especially now that it is used as a bedroom vs. a dining room, room darkening is necessary.  Curtains are out because the dresser sits against the windows.  I have used roman shades & natural fiber shades, but was not pleased with the aesthetics.  This time, as I was rebuilding this entire wall, I decided to get a little sneaky.… Read More

Painting the Builtins Green

March 17, 2016 by Kristin Jackson 1 Comment

The main catalyst in rearranging my daughter’s room all revolved around her “closet”  or lack thereof.  As this room was technically our dining room years ago, it does not have a proper closet.  So we have made do by incorporating garment rods into the bookcases we built about 4 years ago.  And they have been perfect, until school uniforms came around.… Read More

DIY Mirrored Cabinet Doors

September 18, 2015 by Kristin Jackson No Comments
Last month, I shared how our windows were greatly improved with the addition of professionally installed LLumar® Window Film.  This week I wanted to share their Gila® line of films & how you can think outside of the box when using them.  I decided to tackle another project that required a little privacy.

Our good friends have an amazing home.  We have virtually lived at their house (& pool) this summer.… Read More

DIY Sculptural Vase

June 9, 2015 by Kristin Jackson No Comments

After arriving home from vacation, the house always seems a little stale… I think.  I decided I need some fresh flowers to liven the place up a bit.  And rather than just using an old vase, I decided to run with an idea I have had for awhile to create a Kelly Wearstler inspired vase. This DIY vase was so easy to complete & I love how sculptural the bowl has become with just a few simple materials.… Read More

How To: Camouflaged Outlet Covers

April 29, 2015 by Kristin Jackson 1 Comment
When the electrician asked “What color switch plates I would like on our backsplash?” he said “White?”  And I of course said, “Yes.” And then they were installed… and then they left… and I was like, eh… They were perfectly fine, but after having this beautiful herringbone tile installed counter to ceiling they were like little white boxes jumping out at me every time I looked at them.… Read More

DIY Faux Transoms in the Kitchen

April 22, 2015 by Kristin Jackson 1 Comment

With only 5 days left until the Kitchen Reveal (omg) I am trying to complete a few of our diy projects so the space will be ready!  With our backsplash up (looks good, right?!) it was time to complete the transom detail above our windows.  I decided to add these for two reasons… 1.) I am addicted to traditional moulding details & 2.) I needed a way to stop the tile from running around the entire kitchen as I was going to the ceiling.… Read More

Garment Rack

January 13, 2015 by Kristin Jackson 10 Comments

What do you do when you have three weeks to create a room & no closets… you run to tried & true ideas that you know will work (i.e. the headboard reinterpretation of our table) as well as this simple solution for a garment rack.  I am not the first, nor will I be the last to recreate a Garment Rack made of Steel Pipe, but the look & more importantly the function was exactly what the room required.… Read More
