Jadyn’s living room has a common problem – being right off of the entry way, it has two wide doorways in two of it’s walls – one to the entry and one leading through to the dining room. It definitely makes it tricky for furniture arranging, and unfortunately there isn’t really a way to provide enough seating without there being some kind of walkway through the middle of that. However, that doesn’t mean that you ...

I am design-crushing on this picture for many reasons (bamboo, wingback, expedit, glass jar, antlers, ikat) but what really caught my eye was those amazing plants. This was the first photo I noticed them in, but I’ve seen them in at least five other rooms in various publications in the last few months.
My question: What are they? Are they hard to take care of? Where can I get one? My googling phrases like “wall mounted ...

If you haven’t checked out my e-decorating page in a few weeks, you may be pleasantly surprised to see that I’ve expanded my offerings.
After a lot of careful consideration, I boosted my original standard package to include two live chats – an initial consultation and a follow-up interview one to three months after design completion. I also improved the layout of the pages to address each area of the room – I can get much ...

Hello my dears!
Sorry to be a bit light on the posting this week, but I’ve been swamped all week with design guides (you’ll see one next week!) and up to my ears in a special project. I’ve been working on an ebook that I hope will debut later this month and the big photoshoot is tomorrow! Eeek! I have a totally new respect for prop stylists – I’m juggling about ten lists, eight piles, three edited ...

From I Suwannee
My love for built-in bookshelves is well documented (just try searching my archives for “built-in”). I love books in a home – a house without a few packed shelves feels odd to me. While renters or those on a budget can fake the look with Ikea or other basic shelving, there’s nothing like a wall full of built-ins – even better if there is a ladder required. I’ve been saving these ones up ...
