Parade Of Homes 2015 | Part 3

2015-10-26T15:22:00.000-07:00

Today I'm going to show you the downstairs to the parade home. They wanted a space where there kids could play, so we did removable carpet tiles in the playroom. If they spill just take one out and it's easy to replace. The playroom has a trampoline with a foam pit. Every kids dream!!

In the kitchenette we did the back splash in cement tiles. It'ss equipped with candy drawers to provide you with candy for all those fun movie nights! Collab with Lindy Allen and built by Millhaven Homes.

Parade of Homes 2015 | Part 2

2015-10-19T16:04:00.000-07:00

Today I'm going to show you the upstairs level of this modern coastal home. The homeowner LOVED blue, and so we incorporated that in every space. It makes the whole home flow together, but we still did something unique in every room. This was a collaboration with Lindy Allen and built by Millhaven Homes.

Parade Of Home 2015

2015-10-17T12:44:00.000-07:00

I had the wonderful opportunity to design a Utah Valley Parade of Homes with Lindy Allen and Four Chairs Furniture. It was a dream project and one I've always wanted to do. It was amazing to see exactly every detail we picked out come to life. I love that we had such an amazing builder to work with Millhaven Homes. They build an impeccable home, and really made our designs become reality. You must look closely at the finish work in the home, they did a wonderful job! We came up with really unique wall treatments and they did amazing work to pull it off.

I'm excited to share with you a recent project, that

was so fun to work on! My client just moved from California to Utah and was missing the coastal feel she was used to. She moved into a mountain rustic home that didn't reflect her style. While it wasn't in bad shape she wanted a house that reflected her style more. So that's what we did, we remodeled almost everything. New tile, new paint, new carpet throughout, and new furniture with more pops of color.

I wanted to share with you this home I recently designed. I had the most wonderful client who was the greatest to work with. She wanted a happy home full of color and I think this home does just that!

Fireplace mantels

2014-12-04T20:03:00.000-08:00

Lately I have been designing a lot of fireplaces. Everyone wants to know where to start. It's important to catalog ideas of things you like, but keep in mind it might not look the same on your fireplace. Some things to consider are if you want a mantel, crown molding, tile or stone,or if you have vaulted ceilings. This is latest fireplace I designed that we're in the process of building. We had considered all these thing but still hit a few snags with our contractor. It's a great idea to sketch everything out before hand so everybody is on the same page. Also keep an open mind to other ideas that might fit you home better. The current progress of my clients fireplace. I'm loving how it's turning out so far! We still have to add a marble subway tile and add some millwork.

This is the before.

This is in progress....

And here is some of our inspiration images.

Client's House Reveal

2014-10-21T21:13:00.001-07:00

I had so much fun designing this clients home! She was the best client and so wonderful to work with. She wanted to go away from the reds, browns and dark tones she had in the home. We lightned everything up. We painted all the wall Silver Sage from Restoration Hardware, and all the trim White Dove from Benjamin Moore.

Design Project Pictures

2014-06-15T20:08:00.001-07:00

I just wanted to share with you some pictures of this project I worked on. This was for a young family, she wanted it practical but also colorful. She already had a lot of the main furniture pieces. She just needed help with accessorizing, and a few accent pieces. This is the Family room, and we wanted to keep the colors light and airy. We used a mix of patterns and textures in the space to keep it fresh. All the accessories and end tables came from Four Chairs Furniture.

The bedroom just needed a few accessories, a bench, pillows, artwork and lamps.

The dining room we added some artwork, accesories and the roman shade.

Studio 5 Nursery

2014-01-29T21:00:00.002-08:00

I had a wonderful opportunity to decorate a nursery for KSL producer Lesli Harker that was featured on Studio 5. You can watch the segment here. We had a short time frame to do it in and even a smaller budget. We did all the decor, and paint for under $200. Lesli made the mobiles and took the artwork for the nursery. I love how it turned out.

I made the window treatment with 2 yards of fabric and some ribbon. I simple cut the fabric the shape of the window and lined it with a black out liner. I was inspired by the shade that Kristen from The Hunted Interior made. It cost around $35 to make.

Brynlee's Big Girl Room

2013-12-26T19:26:00.001-08:00

Over Christmas I was busy setting up Brynlee's big girl room. There are still some final touches that need to be done, but it's really close.
I made the pillows, and the curtains are from Ikea. I also made the stars with gold contact paper and cut it out on my silhouette machine.

Jackson's Baby Blessing

2013-07-22T20:42:00.000-07:00

Well hello there! I thought I'd pop in and introduce you to the newest member of our little family. He's delightful and absolutely squishy. He's got that good baby chub going for him. He's all smile's, and adores his sister. Whenever Bryn's around he'll give her the best giggles. We sure love him, and he makes the perfect additon to our little family!

We blessed him this Sunday and it couldn't have gone better. He was a perfect little angel, and I couldn't ask for a better baby. We had our family over after for brunch. I put together a waffle bar. First you smear your waffle in Nutella, Peanut butter, or Biscoff (a yummy cookie spread). Then you top it with whipped cream and berries. It was heavenly, put Nutella on anything and I'm sold.

I got the decor from minted. If you haven't heard of them they have the most unique and beautiful paper goods. They provided the decor for the party. It made it so easy and took the stress off me to make it look beautiful. With two kids sometimes I'm lucky if I get a shower, so to have the decorations sent right to my door was perfect. You can find party packages here.

Here's Proof

2013-03-11T04:30:00.000-07:00

Yep, here's proof that I am indeed pregnant.(Just in case you were doubting)
I think taking pictures of myself is awkward enough, but add in being this pregnant makes me even more self conscious.

Hello darlings! I saw this pic and just had to share, I love this entryway. The white trim and mirror behind the console make this entry bright and sunny. I also love the touches of zebra, gold and pink. Still sophisticated yet fun!

I love stripes especially in an entryway.

Love this entry by Samantha Pynn. It feels glam, but still very cozy. You could sit down put on your shoes, and check your make-up before your out the door.

Adding Color To A Space

2013-02-22T05:30:00.000-08:00

In my experience, it seems as most people shy away from adding color into their homes. They are to afraid to make the jump and commitment. We wear color, are inspired by color, and gravitate towards color, but why are we afraid to use it in our homes?

Color can add so much life to a space. The tranquil feeling that a cool blue wall brings, the energy of a bright yellow pillow, or the calming feeling of green throw. We should embrace color and surround our home in colors that evoke a response in us. What's your favorite color? Use that as a starting off point and design your room around that.

If your color phobic start with something simple. A simple colored pillow or throw, stencil or wallpaper one wall in your favorite color(s), floral arrangements and accessories are always a great place to start.

I promise you once you add a little bit of color, it will make your home much more enjoyable to live in! What's you latest color obsession? I can't get enough of turquoise and coral! And as you can tell from these pictures I love pink!

Build Your Blog Conference

2013-02-20T05:56:00.000-08:00

I had the amazing opportunity to attend the build your blog conference from six sisters. I learned a lot and met tons of great people. It was so much fun, and I would totally go again. Luckily I had this girl by my side to! Carly from Old Farm Road.

One of my favorite speakers was Brooke Walker from Studio 5.

She was so fun to hear from, and she has an adorable personality. I loved hearing her talk about ways to become an influencer. She emphasized maintaining your spirit throughout your blog. Sharing your voice and opinion and I love that! After all, that is why people come to your blog.

Project Update

2013-02-17T20:37:00.000-08:00

I have an exciting project I would love to share with you all.While I hate showing pictures of an unfinished room, it takes forever to finally have them complete. So here is a room I have been working on. We plan on adding trim work to the fireplace and painting it white, and changing the tile to a white marble. Switching out the light fixtures, getting a new dining table and chairs. We also will be adding some different pillows and artwork. But until then her is a sneak peak of what we have accomplished so far. Enjoy!

Pantone Color Of The Year

2012-12-19T19:51:00.002-08:00

I'm so happy the color of they year for 2013 is Emerald Green. I love what a little green can do in a space. I just finished up a client, and we used this color in their home. She loves it and so do I! The end result is stunning!

FYI:These are not pictures of her home. I do plan on sharing with you them soon though!

Christmas Time

2012-12-15T20:10:00.005-08:00

Christmas is truly my favorite time of year! We've been busy shopping and decorating for the season. Here's some of my inspiration for decorating this season.

Reclaimed Wood Flooring

2012-10-24T04:30:00.000-07:00

I've been working with a client who's been wanting to replace her old carpet with reclaimed wood flooring. I love the look of reclaimed wood. Their forgiving on scratches and dents and add an old world charm to the look of a new home.

The look of the herringbone wood floor is simply stunning.

Try adding a stencil or a white paint to an old wood floor. It will take it from drab to fab. I wonder if you used old barn wood or pallets if it would turn out well. Has anyone tried?

Bathroom Design Board

2012-10-22T04:30:00.000-07:00

This board is for a client who wanted her bathroom designed. She wanted a neutral palette. I added wallpaper for an added punch to spice up all the grey and white. It has touches of silver and marble. I also love to add some unexpected artwork.
