One of the very first things I generally tell design clients is “add some curtains!” (Right after I say, you need a rug… but that’s a post for another day!) Curtains add so much softness to a space and even if you don’t NEED curtains for privacy or function, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have…
Full breakdown of how much it cost us to DIY a kitchen, as well as some useful tips for planning your own kitchen budget!
With the exception of very linear kitchens, a lot of kitchens have a corner in them which makes kitchen cabinet design a little tricky. I had this issue in my own kitchen and opted for blind base corner cabinets and a hidden magic corner for easy access to my coffee maker with a slide-out shelf….
When I designed my kitchen cabinets, I had a dream of installing gorgeous furniture-style flush cabinet toe kicks, but I didn’t know exactly how to do that ourselves. I was also a little worried about whether or not a flush mount toe kick would be awkward to stand at. There was also the issue of our built-in…

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how easy it is to hang a rug on the wall over a TV! Why would you do this? In order to disguise the TV, of course! A TV is something almost all of us have, but not all of us think it should be a feature in our…
Have you ever lusted over those gorgeous custom curtains with perfectly tailored pleats, and thought that it was a high-end look something you could never afford to do? Yeah, me too.
