I have been a huge fan of Minted for many years now. I use them for stationary and prints all of the time! I was so excited when they launched a home division where they carry fabric, pillows, lampshades, curtains and table linens. I recently fell in love with Minted again when they wrapped up their, “Through the Lens” photography contest. They had over 5,000 submissions and selected 459 new photos that are now available for purchase.I went thru all of them and picked my top 5!
No. 1 Hood River Boards: I love the beach so this surfboard photo immediately spoke to me. I love how you can’t really tell what they are until you look closely. The photo has this beachy undertone, but it’s not cheesy at all. Perfect for your summer home or honestly anywhere.
No. 2 Bubbles Out of Blue: I always look for a touch of whimsey in a piece of art. What’s more whimsical then bubbles? Adults and kids a like enjoy them. I think it would work perfectly in a kids space. I adore how this piece is very kid friendly, but doesn’t look kid friendly. I think any little ones would enjoy it in their space.
No. 3 Rooftops of Paris:I work with a lot of couples and a lot of times artwork is where they tend to disagree the most. City scenes are something most couples can agree on. They tend to be very neutral yet interesting. This piece is a perfect example of that. It doesn’t lean to feminine or masculine and it’s colors work well in so many space.
No. 4 Leader of the Pack:For my 25th birthday Jon surprised me with a trip to Egypt. It was an amazing trip and I got to ride on a camel! This piece reminds me of a happy member and I just love that camels face. It looks like he totally knows what you are thinking with his little smirk.
No. 5 California Dreams:Palm tree photos tend to be very popular in the blog world. I enjoy them, but this one is a tad bit different with the amusement park accent as the focus and it’s orange! So, of course I fell for it.
I actually picked up a piece for a project I’m working on and it arrived this week! So excited! Can’t wait to share it with you.

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 […]
