I'm jealous of those with green thumbs because mine are most definitely black! Even with drip lines and automatic timers that water my potted flowers outside, I can still hardly keep anything alive. So when it comes to the indoors, I love having a vase of fresh blooms on the counter, but other than that, faux is how I roll! I wanted to add some more color to the kitchen for spring and summer, and I envisioned some bright pink blooms {fake of course}, but unlike the tall bottles of cherry ... View the Post
Graphic Glam Master Bathroom Makeover
I recently read a quote from interior designer Ken Fulk that said, "Design should inspire and make you smile, and should never be a bore." Just six short weeks ago our master bathroom was definitely a bore, but now it's so graphic, and glam, and just plain pretty, that I can't stop smiling from ear to ear. During the course of the One Room Challenge, our bathroom has gone from the most ignored room in the house, to my very favorite room! I'm so excited to finally be able to share it with ...

We're in the home stretch of the One Room Challenge now! One week from today you will no doubt find me soaking in a hot bubble bath while watching TV reruns in my gorgeous new graphic glam master bathroom, but today the scene is much less relaxing.

Kate Spade Inspired Bar Cart Accessories
Last month I turned an old printer stand into a trendy bar cart as part of the Drab to Fab furniture makeover series that I worked on in partnership with Rust-Oleum to be displayed at the Denver Home Show. But I quickly realized the bar cart just didn't look as cool as I envisioned when it was empty - it really needed to be staged with bottles are bar accessories at the Home Show in order for people to get the full picture. That meant I needed to come up with a few quick items to stage the cart ... View the Post

Right now, we are elbow deep in our master bathroom makeover - very much in the it get's worse before it gets better phase.

This week it's all about all about the tile - and I'm really curious to hear your opinions! I don't know if I was living under a rock, or what, but two months ago I didn't know about cement tile.

How to Paint Cabinets with a Paint Sprayer
The One Room Challenge always pushes me to go big with my designs and to take on DIY projects that I've never attempted before. Right now, I'm working on our master bathroom makeover for the ORC, but last fall I redesigned our laundry closet and tried my hand at painting cabinets with a paint sprayer for the first time.
