Well my loves this lady has almost officially gotten her high-heel foot in the door to the design world. Classes were taken, client projects have gotten started and finished and become a constant source of work and my professional site is live, but still needs a couple of tweaks so it’s only natural that this little blog of mine get a re-vamp as well.
We are hoping to launch the new look in October and with the new look comes a new name. Since this high-heeled foot of mine will officially be in the door we are switching everything over to Effortless Style!
Yes, I’m sad to see HHFITD go. It did me well, but after many talks with people that work in branding I was told I need to be consistent so Effortless Style it is.
Don’t worry it’s still going to have the same fun projects, advice, inspiration, etc that you are use to here, but I have some secrets up my sleeves that will step it up a notch as well.
Wanna a sneak peek of the new look?
It was designed by the amazingly talented, Carolynn of Two Brunettes. She is super sweet, a great cheerleader, totally understanding, and will hold your hand during the entire project.
Now I hope you all like the sneak peek, because it’s too late to change anything now. So if it’s not your cup of tea just smile and nod and pretend so I don’t burst into tears. Totally kidding….umm not really. I think the tears have flowed quite a bit during this process.
I love the new look! And, am so excited for you that you officially have your *foot in the door*! I love reading your blog and am excited to continue to follow this next chapter :).
It looks great Camila, and I think it's totally appropriate you change the name. Your foot is beyond in the door, and I think you've outgrown the name. Nice work! xo deb
It looks fantastic, Camila, you don't have to worry!! And don't worry, everyone will continue to follow and love you. Can't wait to see the official launch!
I for one will be sad to see my artwork go but seriously both high heeled feet have crossed on the other side of that door! Might I add, that you do seem to make everything look effortless and stylish! Wishing you all the happiness in your life, love and design! pve
Your talent absolutely amazes me and I really hope I am able to follow in your footsteps someday and make both the career switch and get an amazing design education.
I love the look – I, too, have been thinking lately of what I will do if I start a business and it's so hard to think of losing 'hello lover'!

ON THE BLOG
My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
In our new home, the basement was completely unfinished. It was literally one of those dark spaces that you see in horror movies and are terrified of getting locked into. However, with the square footage in this house, I knew I needed to make the basement another workable and liveable floor of the house instead […]
The time has come to finally share our new kitchen reveal. For those of you that have been with us from the beginning, we bought a house right before the pandemic hit. It was a total gut job from top to bottom. We started our demo and then the world shut down. Enter the delays […]
Picking out paint colors for a new home can be overwhelming. I find that many times when I meet with a new client the entire house is simply just painted white or a light gray. Now, I think there is a time and place for those colors, but with paint, there is just so much […]
What to look for when it comes to picking out kitchen appliances: Leave room in your budget for appliances. When it comes to kitchen renovations everyone knows that the cabinetry and the labor of demoing and installing cabinetry is going to eat a lot of your budget. However, the second most expensive part of a […]
I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that designing a kitchen is an overwhelming undertaking. I’m an interior designer and even I find it stressful to iron out all of those details. So, when it comes time to design a kitchen I always like to partner with a kitchen designer to make sure I’m remembering […]

Camila, When I first started reading your blog this summer, even though I loved the title "High- Heeled Foot in the Door" it didn't seem to fit!
I'd say both feet are way over the threshold! Great new look and I can't wait to see the full makeover!
