I doubt this post is going to be that exciting BUT I feel like it’s pretty informative IF you’re interested in shortening a rug so it fits your space better… so if you’re into that kinda thing, then keep reading 🙂 Rather than two small rugs, I wanted a long runner for my little bathroom …
The day I got the keys to my new place, I was chatting with the manager on the phone and she encouraged me to bring over a few little items ASAP to make it feel like my own. As I was running out the door to meet her, I grabbed three things; an antique copper …
This DIY should technically fall under Renter Hacks because if I owned this place I would have simply hired someone to remove this ceiling fan and install a pendant lamp and call it a day (I don’t mess with electrical). But sometimes having constraints forces you to get a little creative and that’s just what …
A few months ago… way back in summer, I had the urge to paint my drippy watercolor flowers that I had previously only done on paper, on a much larger scale and on a canvas. My first thought was to buy a pre-stretched canvas, but they are always so expensive and never in the larger …
Though I haven’t quite finished decorating my project room and still want to add a little fun exterior styling once the weather warms up, now that the bathroom is finished, I feel like my office renovation is complete! I’m so grateful I had Chad to help me with this entire makeover because it would have …
We finished my office bathroom a few weeks ago but I have yet to put the finishing touches on it because I just wasn’t quite ready… my vision wasn’t complete, but I’m closer now 🙂 Since I’m renting and paying for all the upgrades, I didn’t go all out on the bathroom but instead used …
Well, I must admit that I have not entirely finished decorating my office sitting area BUT I finally received my globe chandelier/pendant light fixture and was so excited to share I thought it wouldn’t really matter. And even though I really didn’t capture many angles of the space (oops), this is the sitting area you …
As I mentioned in my First Look at My New Office post a few days ago, I knew when I walked into this space that this is where my desk would go. The ceiling on this side is dropped with recessed boxed fluorescent lighting fixtures and flanked with a popcorn textured finish. The other side …
I’m finally in what I consider the most fun part of my office renovation and that is DECORATING! Chad has been working on my desk makeover, which just needed a (major planing and sanding) and paint refresh, but he gave it a really cool distressed top I can’t wait to show you and in the …
There is one thing about my house that I don’t particularly love… and it’s that I don’t have a formal entryway. My front door is next to my fireplace, right in my living room. You just walk right in. If I could extend the area and add on an entryway area, I would. And maybe …
My word for 2018 is BUTTERFLY Magic. Transformation. Beauty. Change. Mystery. Abundance. Prosperity. Freedom. Love. I don’t usually choose a word of the year but I’ve read a few books recently that recommend it and the word butterfly continues to reveal itself to me lately. Also, it encompasses all the words in bold above, and …
I’ve had this desk system from Ikea now for well over five years, and I have to say, for what I use it for, it’s still totally functional and amazing. I love all the shelves and the size of the desk is perfect for my needs. It has held up through a move and still …
Leather can be an intimidating material to work with, but if you have the right tools, it’s actually pretty simple and straightforward, and can totally enhance the look with simple design elements. I love how it can transform a completely modern kitchen and give it a bit of warmth and rustic character, with the littlest …
I must have come across this cute pink ombre heart branch wall art on Pinterest, I can’t remember, but it seems to be the place I randomly find the cutest things ever, and being that we’re now heading towards Valentine’s Day, I thought it was also cute to share… though I think you could create …
If you follow my Snaps, you may remember back in May when I was in LA for a day and a night with a film crew and may even recognize some of the photos below… I worked with Sabrina Soto and S Squared Productions and MODE Media on a “webisode/ad” for Ace Hardware / Paint …
