HOW-TO-MAKE-AN-EASY-DIY-OUTDOOR-MOVIE-SCREEN-WITH-STAND

Fall is the perfect season to host an outdoor movie night in your backyard! It’s that time of year when outdoor furniture is still outside and it gets dark earlier than the summer which means your little kiddos can enjoy the movie night as well. It’s so nice to transform your backyard with cozy blankets, […]

round up of budget friendly bar carts

Can you believe it’s already November? Before we know it Thanks No. 1 Modern bar cart with patterned sides that looks great as is, but would also look amazing painted a pop of color! Plus it’s only $157. No. 2 This lucite bar cart is a personal favorite of mine. Look at those chic lines! […]

For the longest time our backyard was mainly just grass and a little small area where we laid down some pavers so that we could set out a little plastic table/chairs during the summer. Not exactly ideal for entertaining. For the past couple of years we have wanted to build a deck and enjoy the […]

colorful fabric pairing

I must say that working on my Pattern Play posts is one of my favorite things to do. As an interior decorator there is nothing better than starting with a blank slate and getting to pick everything from top to bottom. However these projects take lots and lots of time and I don’t see the […]

floral, pink, citron and taupe fabric

You all know that I adore color! One of the first things people say when they walk into my home is that they love how colorful it is. At first I can’t really tell if they are being polite and just think I’m daring aka nuts, because the norm with most people is that beige […]

I love designing nurseries! There is such excitement when a new baby is entering a family and a crucial piece of welcoming a new addition is where the new addition will reside. It’s also fun design wise because you tend to design them in so many different directions. My latest style plan for a nursery […]

Pattern Play: Grassy Green & Sky Blue

DIY Round Ottoman

Lately I’ve found myself drawn to global interiors. I’m loving hand-printed fabrics and natural textures yet I’m still drawn to all of my old favorites like Hollywood Regency aka anything with greek key as Jon likes to note. 🙂 This latest e-decorating client was a dream, because she was on the same page as me.

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.
