Less is more…it’s really true! Today we are going to take a good look at the minimalist design style. This is a style that I really enjoy, but until now, haven’t found that it’s attainable—I’ve already changed my own mind on that, and hopefully you’ll read on and change yours too! So here it is: minimalist interior design!
“I’m not sure what my style is. I like a little bit of everything…so I guess I’m eclectic!” Stop right there! Just because you like a lot of stuff doesn’t mean that you’re automatically part of the eclectic club! Though it seems like just a bunch of “stuff,” true eclecticism is a careful curation of that “stuff.” Let me tell you how: eclecticism takes different pieces from different styles and time periods and combines them harmoniously. It’s not knick-knacks or what you call a room that feels weird; it’s just a combination of styles into a cohesive space. How do we achieve this cohesive look? I thought you’d never ask!
Welcome to week #2 of our series on interior design styles. Don’t worry: it’s not too late to catch up! Hop on over to last week’s post about traditional styled interiors! If you’re all caught up, get ready for a fun post. Art Deco is one of my favorite styles. I can’t think of anything that is more quirky and fun than an Art Deco interior.
I’m excited to introduce my series for the next few weeks! We are going to decipher some of the most common interior design styles and help you figure out what your interior design style is! We’ll work our way from the traditional style to (my favorite) the transitional and everything in between. Some of you may work in a few different styles in your own homes. But knowing what your tendencies are is a great way to communicate with designers and other design/tradespeople.

We’ve all seen the Asian-rice-paper-room screens (who knows what they are really called?). It’s starting to get a bit cliche and I’m in the mood for a new idea or two on how to divide space with something other than paper and bamboo…so I’m sharing a few of my favorites with you! (I thought that rhymed for a second- but I don’t think it does).
Ah, the joys of first-time home buying…it takes about 5 seconds into the process to figure out that men and women are different. Let’s be clear, men and women are looking for different things when it comes to a home. So, how do we take both into account in the same environment?
Well, I think it’s just about time for an update! I have a master bedroom project nearing completion, and I’m so excited to share it with you! I actually have a few projects that I’m finishing up, but I’m especially excited about this one.
Welcome back to week 2 on counter tops! Last week we went over the 7 Most Popular Countertop Surfaces: pros, cons, and costs! This week, we’re coming back down to earth and learning about counter tops for those who might not want to invest quite so much. These materials might just surprise and delight you!
Ah, the wonderful world of counter tops … solid surface, porous, natural stone, engineered stone, recycled, concrete—slow down! The options for counter surfaces seem overwhelming, but fear not! I’m here to simplify and give you all the pros, cons, and details in one place, so let’s get started, shall we?
Welcome to the mid-week special on 2014 nursery trends for your baby boy! This is a follow-up to Pretty in Pink: 2014 Nursery Trends for Your Baby Girl. My title was inspired by the recent gender reveal of my soon-to-be niece. I was wrong and 100% on team blue (boy), and, as much as I like being right, I’m just glad that my little niece is on her way!
Hear that? It’s the baby train, and it has officially arrived! We are anxiously waiting for a niece to join our family this summer! Besides that, Kelly Clarkson is expecting a girl and rumor has it that Kate Middleton expecting another (I sure hope so!). So here it is: a post just for your little sweet pea and what the 2014 nursery trends hold for her!
