Separation Needed- The Entry Way Wall
In the design/renovation world, you always hear about “opening things up.” The design trend right now is tear down walls and create large great rooms as opposed to multiple small rooms. I live in a loft, so of course I love the idea of an open floor plan. However, I…
Art Elevated
Happy Friday Y’all! I’m the type of girl who will buy something I like while having no particular plan for it at the moment. Generally I justify grabbing a great deal or an especially interesting piece with the thought that I will eventually use them in a project down the…
Sourcing Chic
Hey Friends! I am working on three different designs at the moment and so I am scouring stores and the internet for interesting pieces at great prices. Unless you live in a bigger city, you may have trouble finding more modern/contemporary pieces to fit your chic style. It’s a problem…
Turning Target Cartwheels and A Sweepstakes

Marble Countertop Surprise
Today, I’m taking you back to the fall when I revealed Anthony’s Man Cave. You remember it, right? One of the major changes in this space was the bar area that I created for Anthony. Because what’s a man cave without a bar right? One of the features I wanted…
