“Just Trust Me”: Thoughts on the Client-Designer Relationship
Fair warning – I’m about to dive into some controversial waters here. And they are shallow. I’m not in the deep end. [Note to self: Watch A Star is Born again on Netflix…]. I’m including some random, pretty pictures (detail shots from my portfolio) to keep your attention, and to hopefully keep you from getting…

Read MoreOne Room Challenge Week 6: Big Boy ‘American Evolution’ Bedroom REVEAL!
Welcome to the big reveal of the Fall 2018 One Room Challenge! The one I swore I wasn’t doing. No way, no how. Not a chance. And yet somehow, here I am unveiling to you what I think is a pretty great transformation. I was tardy to the party, starting right before the ‘Week 2’…
Read MoreBig Boy Bedroom Transition from the Archives!
My latest One Room Challenge project is now ‘in the can,’ so to speak. Eamon’s big boy bedroom is complete, and he is now sleeping in it! It is such a relief to have finished it. We photographed it on Friday of last week, and I revealed it to him that morning (he slept in the…

Read MoreOne Room Challenge Week 1: American Evolution
Surprise! I just decided to jump into the fall 2018 One Room Challenge as a guest participant. Like, literally about an hour and a half ago. This will be my sixth (!) rodeo, and I truly had no intention of doing this due to being short-staffed with a crazy workload. I believe I’m close to…
Read MoreRoom Reveal: Fresh Victorian Master Bedroom
I recently surveyed my followers on Instagram, and boy did I learn a lot! One of the major themes was that lots of you are still reading blogs. Well, maybe all of you since you are here – ha! Although it seems like people are spending more time on Instagram, I’m hearing that many still like the…
Read MoreProject Reveal: Happy Place (Part II)
As promised, I’m back for Part II of our Project Happy Place reveal. You know, the one that almost didn’t happen because my client (aka sister-in-law) and her family decided to move to a new home. It happened so fast, in fact, that they have already moved out. Like, a week ago. I have that…
