The 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!),…
Read MoreHow I Survived My Kitchen (& Home) Renovation
Well, hello there! I’m just emerging from an extended pause, which I’m going to blame on my home renovation. The last month or so, leading up to and of course including the holiday season, was memorable, and incredibly stressful. That being said, it was also mission accomplished. We began work on the project in April,…
Read MoreDay 231: Project 1896 (Our Home Renovation) – Christmas, Come Quickly
I hope everyone survived the Black Friday/Cyber Monday madness. You won’t find any gift guides on my blog – not this year, anyway. I’m just not that into shopping – unless we’re talking about shopping for home furnishings – my favorite sport! I did spend some time online last night buying new ‘everyday’ dinnerware, water…
Read MoreDay 196: Project 1896 (Our Home Renovation) – Major Progress & Minor Adjustments
It may be surprising to hear, but the drama (and, therefore, the stress level) is relatively low where our home renovation project is concerned (follow this link to read earlier posts!). Don’t get me wrong – things are moving along at a breakneck pace at this point. But, at this moment, just about everything seems…
Read MoreDay 168: Project 1896 (Our Home Renovation) – Cabs and Counters!
I feel like I shouldn’t even be writing this at this moment – but I promised it last Thursday on Instagram, and I’m a woman of my word! My show house design partner and I are dealing with a lot of drama and anxiety related to the kitchen we have designed, which is supposed to…
Read MoreDay 161: Project 1896 (Our Home Renovation) – Color and Crises of Confidence
Oops, I did it again. It’s kind of ironic that I sat down to write a post in part about color and that big blue ‘publish’ button did me in again. It somehow wooed me into sending my post live before I had typed a word. My apologies to email subscribers who received a blank…
Read MoreDay 154: Project 1896 (Our Home Renovation) – Let’s Go Outside
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 140: Project 1896 (Our Home Renovation)
At the risk of beating a horse that is no longer among the living, things are really starting to accelerate around here. Good golly, I can’t even walk out the door without someone pulling me back into the construction zone for ‘just a few quick questions.’ And it’s always when I’m about to walk out…
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…
Read MoreDay 126: Project 1896 (Our Home Renovation)
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…
