One Room Challenge Week 3: Bold Serene Bedroom
Happy week three! I am fresh off a long weekend at High Point market. Well, fresh may be overstating it a bit. I am tired, physically exhausted, and mentally drained. And I had to hit the ground running with a client meeting first thing yesterday morning, despite getting home after midnight on Monday. So let’s…

It’s Week 2 of the One Room Challenge – I am knee deep in transforming my client’s large, dated, and sort of empty master bedroom into the “Bold Serene Bedroom” of their dreams. See all of the befores, and our detailed plans in my Week 1 post. The arrival of Week 2 has come with…

Welcome to Week 1 of the One Room Challenge, where 20 featured designer bloggers (and hundreds of talented guest participants) embark upon a lightning-speed 6-week room transformation! I wanted to do a mini introduction before getting into it, as I suspect many of you are brand-new to me and this blog – thanks…

If you’ve been following along for awhile, you may recall that I have been a guest participant in the One Room Challenge in the past (four times, to be precise!).

Read MoreThe Plan: My Carriage Barn Design Studio
I started Kelly Rogers Interiors in 2012 in the third floor ‘bonus room’ of our then-condo, at a quaint little desk nestled into a dormer, a file drawer, and a small bookshelf. In 2013, when we moved into our current home, I upgraded to a real home office – a whole room to myself (heaven!),…

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past ~10 years, you’ve surely noticed the influence of Scandinavian modern design on the interiors of today. Clean lines, varied textures, warm materials, connection with nature, intentional coziness, and what I like to call the ‘bathed in white’ aesthetic, are its hallmarks. If I were to…
Read MoreBefore & After: Project Foxhollow Reveal!
Today I am sharing a *surprise* reveal of a project we completed earlier this year, and recently photographed. In many ways, this was not our ‘typical’ client – no children, no dogs, just a husband, wife and their bashful cat living together quite happily in a 70s-era colonial in Sudbury, Massachusetts. They found us, as…

As we approach ‘locked and loaded’ status for interior selections and orders for our home renovation, I am now turning my focus elsewhere – outside the house, to be specific. Even though I know and employ daily the elements and principles of design, when it comes to exterior design, my mind just shuts down. I…
Read MoreDay 133: Project 1896 (Our Home Renovation) – Special Powder Room Edition!
Since I missed Friday Family-Friendly Find last week (did you notice? I did 🙁 ), I wanted to share an extra-special update today to make up for it. Things are really heating up here with our renovation project, and I’m really excited to say that we’re inching ever-closer to weather-tight. All windows and exterior doors…

It’s been about a month since I last posted a construction update. A couple of weeks ago, I shared my plans for our mudroom. From the bottom of my heart, thanks to those who shared their feedback here on the blog and on Instagram! I think I now know which direction I’m heading in for…
