Besides Thanksgiving, Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays. I used to look forward to the 31 nights of Halloween on ABC Family every single year. Hardcore. It’s partly that I love the coziness of fall and partly that I love the decorations and costumes. Now that I’ve gotten older, though, some of …
As many of you might know, I just finished up my program with the Interior Design Institute. And a huge part of the course was a mock renovation of a single family home. The initial brief was to make it more of a modern, open floor plan for a family of 3. I decided to …
There really is such thing as good clutter. Although I definitely binge-watched (the whole thing in one night) Get Organized with The Home Edit, and I’m super on my organization shit now — that doesn’t necessarily have to clash with a lil clutter. There are minimalists who advocate for scaling down the number of items …

We’re gonna get a little emotional today. Not sappy or anything, but just a lil bit sentimental. As I’ve said from the beginning of this blog, I had my hands in interior design for as long as I can remember. At one point, yes, those freehand black and red circles I painted on my wall …
Let me start this out by saying I’m not a huge nature person. I’m not someone who craves being in the great outdoors all the time. Most of the time, I’m very content in a concrete jungle. But I will say, even as a hesitant partaker in nature, I can absolutely acknowledge the psychological benefits. …
If you’ve been here a while, you know that my office has been a work in progress. It was a room that I put off for a while because it intimidated me. And then I just kind of threw it all together in a night and shared my previous, rushed office update with you. Needless …
The couch is one of the most important features in a home. Not just because it’s one of the biggest pieces, but also because it’s a place that you usually gather with people when they come over. So having a good ass couch is important — both in terms of look and comfort. But how …
