I have a fun, moody kitchen makeover to share with you today. My client, Lindsey’s favorite color is purple, and she and her husband are big University of Tennessee fans, so they wanted some orange in the mix. She told me to go wild! Here is the before picture:
Lindsey surprised me last week [...]
Brace yourself, this kitchen mood board is flea market CUTE. I can’t get over the adorable moss-covered birds.
Many of my clients have blank spaces or a few pieces of furniture they want to keep. Rarely do they have a bunch of accessories to work with. This client was different, she already had great accessories, [...]
I am proudly keeping produce on display in my kitchen! For over a year now the hubby and I have followed, or tried to follow, a slow-carb diet. This year we transitioned to the Paleo diet. It is also known as “caveman” or hunter/gatherer” diet. I don’t want to spend much time talking about the [...]
I have pined after raw wood cutting boards with dipped handles. First I saw these colorblocked cutting boards at Anthropologie. Then these raw wood boards in all sizes caught my eye at West Elm. They are not the kind of cutting boards you tuck away. These are the kind you [...]
I am so excited to share Missy’s kitchen transformation with you. Several of you have asked for after pictures from my mood board clients, but it takes people a while to pull their room together and take photos. Missy surprised me earlier this week with her {almost} after pictures. She still plans a few more [...]
I know, confusing title. But I found the perfect rug for my kitchen, which happens to be a bath rug. Don’t worry, it is not fluffy and rubber-backed. In fact, I think it hardly looks like a bath rug at all. You know me…I like to think outside the box when it comes to filling [...]
I made some big updates recently to the kitchen, more specifically our every day dining area. I have longed for a new rug, one that would actually fit this space, forever. I was also over our leather chairs. Don’t get me wrong, they were nice Room & Board chairs, but they were totally showing their [...]
With every mood board I give a bonus DIY ideas board. I roundup 3-5 DIY ideas to help clients achieve the look for less or personalize their space. My courtyard kitchen client was open to DIY, but requested no-sew projects. I was happy to oblige. Read on for links to all the sources of these wonderful [...]
Kitchens are always a gathering spot, especially during the holiday season. Imagine celebrating the holidays in a beautifully refreshed kitchen. I had the pleasure of working on a client’s kitchen redesign recently. The kitchen had good bones, but needed a facelift. My client describes her style as traditional, also saying she likes to create a [...]
Do you ever get to the point where you are so sick of something you can’t think of anything else until you fix it? I got to that point recently with our kitchen utensil drawer after bringing home a set of new turquoise cooking utensils. I made it a top priority to fix the sloppy [...]
My family eats 6-9lbs of bananas per week. That is about 18-24 medium bananas. Yes, I live with a bunch of monkeys (aka my husband and two boys).
The small blue metal colander I had on the counter to hold fruit, has become overwhelmed with the volume and no longer looks cute. It is filled [...]
I never thought I would do so many changes to a brand-new kitchen. The bones of the room are great and new. There are maple cabinets, hardwood floors, granite countertops, and stainless appliances. However, the kitchen was builder basic when it came to style. It had absolutely no personality.
Working with the good bones, I [...]
