Hello and happy weekend! Summer is quickly approaching and the kids have only 3 weeks of school remaining. I spent yesterday drafting a makeshift yet flexible calendar for June through August and this year I allotted plenty of down time. I find as the years go by and the children grow almost as tall as…
Weekend hellos! Thanks so much for all the kind compliments on the recent kitchen remodel, it’s nice to have that project complete, the bathroom will be finished next week so I’ll share that soon! Do you have any special plans for Mother’s Day? I’m hoping for a lot of R&R, you too? :) This weekend…
Weekend hellos! We’re putting the finishing touches on grandma’s kitchen remodel this weekend, the gray and white medley with touches of wood is looking so good, I’ll take some photographs later this week and share the space with you soon! Today I’m sharing another round of inspiring projects and spaces in the ongoing Best of…
I ran into a long time friend this morning at the post office and we were talking about architecture and real estate and how nice it would be to build here (but way too expensive for our pocketbook) and how much we really love the modern farmhouse style and how it fits so nicely with…

Hellllooo friends and happy weekend to you! I’ve got a busy one ahead with a birthday party to attend and I’m also taking on another design project for our local Committee on the Shelterless, this time it’s an eleven room emergency shelter, and this is a BIG project with a late June date for the…
It feels a little braggy to talk about a pool makeover because not everyone can relate. Bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms, those kinds of spaces we all have so it feels completely natural to blog about them with all of you. But we happened to purchase a house last year in a desert climate and in Las…
Hello friends, welcome to another weekend! We’re celebrating my son’s birthday today (he is 9 already!) then I’m headed to Las Vegas for a few days to check on the pool remodel at the fixer house, coordinate with a countertop fabricator, and shop for tile for the kitchen backsplash, much to do! I’ll be visiting…
I was shopping for prints for a kid’s room art wall I’m working on and was introduced to some wonderful watercolor animal prints on Etsy, one of my go to sources for artwork. The popularity of watercolors is still going strong, surging in the past year as a big trend, but the medium has been…
I was asked by a reader recently about improvements to make to her home before they put it on the market for sale. This is a really common question, every homeowner wants to know what to do to increase the resale value of their home so it stands out, sells quickly, and you get the…
Yesterday we stopped by Grandma’s house to check on the progress of the bathroom remodel. I’ve mentioned we’re renovating the kitchen but haven’t show you the bathroom yet. (As a reminder, Matt’s grandmother passed away last year and we’re remodeling the bathroom and kitchen in her small home for the estate before putting it on…
In the past few years, my wardrobe has transitioned from play-it-safe to feminine edgy. I’ve accumulated a dozen moto jackets that I wear in winter with black pants or jeans but in spring with maxis or floral tops and so this bathroom speaks to me because if this powder room with its metal and bling…
My entire life I’ve loved decorating, from dollhouses as a child to the bedroom of my youth (redecorating it over and over again). Since then I’ve never tired of mixing patterns, furnishings, and accents in different styles, it’s just as fun as an adult! Today’s focus is on a medley of wallpapers and light fixtures,…
Weekend hellos everyone. I’m bracing myself for a the fact that a dozen ten year old girls are descending on my house tonight for a birthday party and sleepover. My daughter turns 11 today (that happened fast!). In truth, all those giggling girls are a delight. They’re entering the tween years and they are all…
