Undoubtedly, you’ve at least noticed a lot of kitchens and bathrooms (for the purpose of this post, I’m keeping my focus on these rooms) on Pinterest, in shelter magazines, and on Instagram sporting multiple metal finishes. Mixing metals is an interior design technique on the rise and one that is, I believe, here to stay.…

This week’s find isn’t new to me, as it is a piece of furniture I used in a client project a couple of years ago. I’m working with the same client again on a new project (their very cool pool house), and she keeps telling me how beloved it is, especially by her teenage boys,…

Where do I begin? The past week has been somewhat of a blur. So much so that I completely overlooked Friday as a blogging day, and didn’t even think of it until Saturday night. Thanks so much to those who sent so many nice comments my way here on the blog, on Facebook and IG…

How exciting – I’m at the point in this process where I can post renovation updates in consecutive weeks, and not have them be totally redundant! Last week, it was all about excavation and the footings being poured. After that, things continued to move quickly. The next day, the forms went up for the foundation…

Finding attractive tableware that is also shatterproof and easily handled by a child is no easy feat. I don’t know about you, but my cupboards are full of Paw Patrol and Thomas plates, mismatched ‘Take and Toss’ cups and tops, and a slew of other items I cannot wait to get rid of when we…

It’s been about a month or so since I’ve blogged about our renovation, mainly because I’ve been waiting until something ‘exciting’ happened. Day 1 was amazing – interior demo was swift and ruthless! Reminder… Days 2 through 50 or so seemed to drag on. Although progress was definitely happening, it was just not as visible…
