Many design-loving people suffer from a bit of decorating ADD — I know I do. I tire easily of something I’ve recently been obsessing over, and the walls in my apartment have four layers of paint just from my tenancy alone. But one room I will alway... 0 Published 100+ days ago in

Maybe it’s the influence of the wintery weather, but I can’t get enough gray in my life right now. I’ve purchased a new sweater, a pair of throw pillows and some fabric for an upholstery project recently, all in shades of gray. I can... 0 Published 100+ days ago in

It always seems like the very moment I get stuck in a redecorating rut, a clever new project falls in my lap to provide a jolt of inspiration. I have a built-in cabinet with these truly hideous doors, and thanks to Jennifer, I think I now know what to do... 0 Published 100+ days ago in

I love it when Before & After projects combine several old items into one shiny new design. These two pieces from Elle are both great examples of this; I’m particularly impressed with the transformation of an old fan faceplate into the base for... 0 Published 100+ days ago in

I don’t have kids yet, but I can still appreciate a great nursery when I see one. Such is the case with this lovely owl-themed nursery from Brian and Kristy Hoffman. Brian and Kristy decided to keep the gender of their baby a mystery, which require... 0 Published 100+ days ago in

Like Grace, I have a weakness for a crisp, clean stripe, so when I saw the fabric Laura chose for her seating makeover, I was instantly won over. The blue chevron looks wonderful against the sage green wall, and I very much appreciate Laura’s decis... 0 Published 100+ days ago in

Yellow is not my favorite color. It’s not even close — well that’s a lie, actually. My favorite color is green, so in fact, it’s quite close. But I rarely use yellow in my design decisions, and I never choose it over something else. Whe... 0 Published 100+ days ago in
