{decorating with style} Touring the Denver Life Magazine Designer Showhouse
Yesterday I had an opportunity to tour the Denver Life Magazine Designer Showhouse, a brand new, 4,700 square foot modern home featuring 15 fully decorated spaces designed by 13 of Denver's top interior design firms. I shared a some photos from the house on Instagram this afternoon, so if you follow me there you already got a few sneak peeks. If you live in Denver, you can tour the house yourself through the weekend for a $15 donation that benefits Habitat for Humanity of Metro ... View the Post
Apartment Style Three Ways, Without Buying Furniture
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of CORT. All opinions are 100% mine. My husband is a real estate appraiser specializing in commercial properties, so he spends a lot of time touring and inspecting apartment communities. When he visits new, or newly renovated, properties, he often snaps pictures of unique design and decorating ideas that he thinks I'll like {yep, he's a keeper}. Recently he picked up a CORT Furniture Rental catalog in the lobby an apartment and ... View the Post
Door Knobs are a Girl’s Best Friend
You know how once you become familiar with something, you suddenly start seeing it or hearing about it everywhere you go? It's just that phenomenon that has had me be a bit obsessed with door knobs and door levers lately. The folks over at Schlage® are equally obsessed with door hardware, and I'm so grateful to them for sponsoring this post, but as always, all ideas and opinions are my own. Last month, we replaced our old front door lock and handle with a smarter and more stylish, keyless ... View the Post
The No-Sew Way to Reupholster Outdoor Cushions
'Out of sight, out of mind' is a real thing! Last fall, I had good intentions to get our outdoor cushions reupholstered so they'd be ready for this spring. But then we packed everything away, covered the furniture for the winter. I totally forgot about the cushions right up to the moment we uncovered them last month and I remembered that we couldn't use them in their current condition. I made a few phone calls and quickly learned that getting the cushions professionally reupholstered would ... View the Post
{one room challenge} Week 1 – Planning a Play Room Under the Stairs
Today marks the start of another One Room Challenge. Just one year ago, I heard about this event for the first time and about two hours later I threw my hat into the ring, committing to get Beckett's "big boy" bedroom completed in a mere six {really it's five} weeks time. It was CRAZY, but it got done and that made it all worth while! So worth while that I subjected myself to the craziness again in the fall when I redid our master bedroom for my second One Room Challenge. And just like that {a ... View the Post
{decorating with style} A Temporary Exercise Room
Five years ago when we moved out of our downtown loft and into a bigger house, we had more rooms than we knew what to do with. One bedroom became an office, one a guest room, I set up my easel for painting in one room, and still another bedroom we set up as an exercise room. But we knew that sooner or later we'd start a family and that some of these rooms would become bedrooms for our children. The room where I used to paint was the first to be converted - it ...

How to Weatherproof Art for the Outdoors
When I shared some photos of our backyard in the spring, you may have noticed that I hung a large, canvas photo on the exterior wall of our white stucco garage. For years, I had been wanting something decorative for this space to break up the sea of stucco, but I had never been able to find any outdoor art that I really liked. So this year, I created my own weatherproof, outdoor art, and today I've got the super easy, five minute tutorial for you. Watch this quick video tutorial, and ... View the Post
{decorating with style} Zebra Cornice Boards – Part 1
Our nursery has been ALMOST complete since Beckett was born nearly 17 months ago. But the one project we never got around to finishing were the window coverings for the room. Now that Baby Number 2 is set to arrive in a matter of weeks, I decided it was time was finally get this project done! We love how modern the architecture of our home is, but one element that poses a big challenge is the abundance of long, thin horizontal windows throughout the house. On the main floor of our house ... View the Post
How to Make Faux Marble Shelves for $20: An IKEA EKBY Hack
Thank you guys so much for all of the love and sweet comments on our graphic glam master bathroom makeover last week! Everyone seemed to especially love my faux marble shelves, so today I'm excited to show you how simple and inexpensive they are to make! Each of the marble shelves in my water closet cost me just about $20 to create, but they look so high end! Even our friends and family who have seen them in person thought they were the real thing until I spilled my DIY secret. Everyone ... View the Post
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
