Rebound Re-design
I never expected it to happen. The guy I love decides its over, suddenly, without notice. Drops the bomb, moves out and leaves me and my kids alone having to fall back into life without him. Familiar story to many of us-filled with days of tears, fears and ice cream. But just for a while…

A Good Time To Nag….
I try not to consider myself a “nagger” to my husband. Will I ask for help or try to nudge him to do the things I can’t? Sure… The key to success is to go after the big ticket items (painting, re-doing a room, hanging shelves, etc…) at the RIGHT TIME. Which is NOW!!!

Tricky Transitions
Always a difficult task, transition spaces in homes are tricky to design, decorate or color. Hallways, stairways, foyers, etc… are meant to transfer people from one space to the next. As such, they can be problematic to decorate since they “touch” other rooms in the home. The paint color and design colors schemes should work [...]

Scheming Color Schemes…
We all have tricky rooms that need a little “help” with color to manipulate its negatives into positives. Large, empty rooms that feel vacant and cold. Rooms with little natural light. Walls with cracks or damage to the sheetrock. Awkward shaped rooms or rooms with low ceilings. You know what I mean and probably have [...]

An easy way to determine a good color scheme for your room is to find what we designers refer to as our “central source”. That is the fabric, pillow, painting, quilt, rug, etc.. that exists in your room that has the greatest impact on you- what you love looking at. Use that to find [...]

The New Gray…Simply Soothing Paint Color
Color is on the move. The bold, saturated hues that have dominated palettes for the past few seasons are yielding to more complicated, toned-down shades. Our eyes are ready to relax and fall into dustier, more interest provoking undertones. Gray is the new MVP in the palette- it has an increasing role in cooling down [...]

Design Through The Eyes Of A Tween…
If I could redo my room I would put cork board and chalkboard paint behind my bed, covering the whole wall. I would put a corkboard behind my bed because I am a Disney Channel addict! I would hang up all my favorite stars, for example Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus. I would also hang up pictures [...]

Don’t Shop When You’re Hungry, Don’t Select Paint When You’re Moody…
Chips. Salsa. Cookies. Crackers. Donuts. Soda….Did you ever spend WAY too much money at the grocery store when you shopped while starving? Me, too. Uncontrollable urges to eat poorly trump the logic of healthy eating when you are famished in the misdst of snacks in aisle 7.

Hotel Chic At Home
Its the new bedroom trend- “Hotel Bedding”. The first thing I thought about when I heard of this new trend was of course that ugly, scratchy polyester Red Roof Inn bedding. Itchy comforters, rough white sheets, unattractive floral prints, etc… No, what I have learned is that Hotel Bedding is really recreating what hotel chains [...]
