Hello.
I have a problem. I start a blog post, but don’t finish it. I find 1 good inspiration image, then I get stuck. My draft list is getting longer and longer on here. I try to squeeze a post into the free moments that I have, but it’s not enough time. I have a ton of photos on my camera that never make it to my computer. And then I have 5 client projects I’m working...
Read MoreGo ahead, write on the walls
Cool product alert. Have you wondered how to actually install a look like this? Is it a big board? Is it on a roll (like wallpaper?)? Is it….hmmm… {Image via Young House Love} As you probably know, I’m working on a project that involves a local daycare playroom. How fun, right? Right. It’s been a great learning experience for me, and I am thankful for such...
Read MoreGot Water Spots? I’ve Got a Magic Powder
We have 2 large (8 feet wide by 4 feet tall) windows in our living room. Nice, but they’ve actually always been an eyesore since we moved in a year and a half ago because the previous owner apparently ran her sprinkler and let it hit the house. Here in Likely, this causes horrible water spots on the windows and you couldn’t even see through the bottom half of those windows! ...
Read MoreRugs in the Bathroom, Black Rooms and Baby Potties
Well, that about sums this post up! We had this striped brown and cream flatweave cotton rug from Target in our bedroom…but our dogs sleep on the floor in there and we have wwaaayyy too much traffic in that room for a flatweave cotton rug that you cannot vacuum. Yes, we could go shake it out, but we’d have to do that every day, twice a day. So we moved it. I had it in my...
Read MoreGoing Granny Chic
Hello out there, lovelies! I seem to be all-about-blogging for a week or two, then I drop off the face of the Earth for another week or two! But I’m not sitting around eating Bon-Bons…I’m trying to wrap my brain around all of the projects I’ve got going – AND spend time with my two favorite people in the world! I’m glad they love me so much and...
Read More{Color Therapy} Fieldstone by Benjamin Moore
Looking for a chic way to update your kitchen? How about painting your cabinets a COLOR? I’m really loving white walls in spaces, but with colored trim, moulding, cabinets, ceilings, etc. lately. If I had the guts to re-paint my house, that is what I’d do…but I need to add the architectural details first so it wouldn’t look so BORING in white! I saw these kitchen...
Read MoreI could live here – could you?
File this post under “Things That Catch My Eye So I’m Going To Share It/Save It Here.” As usual, I just couldn’t help myself. Because I could totally live here. Exactly how it is. Black paint, cement walls and floors (if they’re heated, of course), giant windows, an amazing patio space, giant beds, built in bunks, a view to die for. We even love that...
Read MoreKnock Off Wood
In case you’ve been living under a rock and don’t read Young House Love (or follow them on Twitter or Facebook) then you might have missed their post on the FABULOUS website/blog by the name of Knock Off Wood: How to Build Knock-Out Knock-Off Furniture. Hey…there might be one or two of you that are coming to my little ‘ol website and haven’t browsed theirs...
Read MoreKid-Sized Design
If you’ve been following my Tweets or the Likely Design page on Facebook, you might know that I have a fun new (real life) design project in the works — a daycare playroom! So in my search for some inspiration for this project, I clicked my way over to HGTV and saw that runner-up Design Star Dan Vickery’s new online show has debuted! It’s called “Kid-Sized...
Read MoreMy version of a growth chart
Last December, Glenn and I (ok, mostly Glenn) painted our kitchen cabinets white. It happened to be on the day that our daughter turned 4 months old, and so we decided to immortalize the day on our living room wall. We rolled a little of the low-VOC paint on her little foot and stamped it up on the wall by the front door. I love seeing it as I dash out of the door, and everyone likes to...
Read MoreAbout Me
I'm an interior designer, but I live in the country. I like it that way. I'm also a firefighter's wife, new mom and a new homeowner and I like that even better. A close second is a pretty and affordable space...and I mean a REALLY affordable space. Because I believe good design can be for EVERYONE!
