Last summer I was contacted by a sweet, young couple to help design the master suite in their newly purchased Dallas home. The Farahmand’s had a few requests for their new space, which included a nice big tub, great storage, and green hues included in the color scheme. After meeting with them a few times, I knew this would be such an enjoyable job! Nari and Freddy were in the midst of moving from their apartment to their new home when…
Last year my parents decided to update their home. They got all new hardwood floors and changed the stone on their fireplace. This, of course, called for new furniture and wall art! My mom suggested I take on their home as a project and help her pick all the new items they were planning on purchasing. I was ecstatic. You mean I get to pick out everything going into your home? I’m in! At this time I was beginning to…
I think it goes without saying that decorating for two is much harder than decorating for one. Specially when you have two pretty gals with very unique styles! I had the pleasure of working with Dani & Mary in their gorgeous Dallas apartment over the past few weeks. The two became roommates this summer and needed a little help decorating their apartment. They had a few pieces of furniture and an idea for the look they wanted to achieve: modern,…
I realize this reveal is long overdue.. but better late than never, right? The other day, in the middle of a shower, I realized I wasn’t all the way done with this bathroom. I mean it’s done, but there is just one teeny tiny thing missing.. the shower door. We originally planned on installing a cool shower door, but with all the expenses we made during the renovation, we put it off, and now, two years later we still haven’t…
Decorating your space can be tricky. No matter how big or small, you probably want it to showcase your personality, and finding the right things to do that can be quite the challenge. Today I wanted to share a little bit about how we have manged to decorate our home using art prints and posters. The difference? There’s actually a pretty big difference between a fine art print and a poster you can print yourself! Doing a little research can…
Spring is (pretty much) here so I hope that means all of your holiday decorations, Christmas tree, etc., are stored away in the garage. Not a fan of holiday decor? Good. Because I’m here to talk about Spring and how you can freshen up your home just in time for the much anticipated sunnier weather! Greenery (real or fake) I love using greenery and plants around the house, specially around Spring time. There’s just something so refreshing about having a…
Prints in the kitchen? Absolutely. And I’m not talking about the ones that say “HANGRY” or “Bon Appetit”, I’m talking actual art prints. I was always curious about using art in my kitchen.. I just didn’t know how. I saw a lot of amazing ideas on Pinterest but never really experimented despite having plenty of space in the open shelves. This has recently changed, however, and I’m really excited to share. Read on to learn a little bit more about…
Before renovating our house, I heard from several people that a house renovation was one of the most stressful things a marriage can go through.. and they were absolutely right. You have to deal with money, time management and PEOPLE. So, if you survive a house renovation together, you can pretty much survive anything. We dove into our home renovation project shortly after celebrating our first wedding anniversary. Even though we had been together as a couple for 7 years…
When we flipped our house, one of the top priorities we had was the kitchen. We wanted everything in the kitchen to be as perfect as we could possibly make it, and that included having a nice pantry. The first apartment we shared didn’t have an actual pantry, so the only space we had for food storage was the fridge and a few cabinets. Not the ideal situation. Our pantry now might not be the biggest, but it’s just what…
Wow. I just realized it’s about to be a year since we moved in to our house. At the time, the house was far from being done. We basically didn’t have a kitchen and were missing a few details like the barn door in our closet, the actual closet rods, and some light fixtures. We had been working tirelessly the last few weeks and even though we didn’t have a move-in ready home, we were ready to live there. If working…
