Hello and welcome to Centsational Style! I’m Kate Riley, design lover, artist, and globetrotter living in Northern California’s Wine Country.
Since 2009, I’ve been writing this blog about how to bring affordable style to your home. The focus here is inspiring interior design, smart home improvement, and creative DIY projects. I always share my tips and tricks whenever I transform a space or create something new. Catch up on the archives by browsing the Projects page, and don’t miss the Style Files for plenty of inspiring home improvement and interior decorating ideas.
A little about me: I’m a lawyer and design blogger who writes about design, interior decorating, textile designs, and do-it-yourself projects. I’ve tackled several remodels over the past decade, including my own home addition and a few flip houses. I’ve remodeled many spaces, see my designs on my portfolio website. On the blog, I share my DIY and decorating projects, as well as my life in California. In addition, I’m an avid traveler and I explore as much as possible! In my Travel articles, I feature the spots I’ve visited in the United States and all over the world, as well as travel tips. Read all about my globetrotting adventures on the Travel page.
