THE PROCESS
First up in our entire home renovation was PAINT! I chose Ponder by Sherwin Williams for the walls and you can read more on that choice HERE. It’s a tricky gray so it’s worth an article read before you go grab a can. I promise… you will thank me.
So how do I design a space? Well, for starters I ALWAYS begin with what I love. And I fell in love with this rug! In creating a whimsical, colorful and COHESIVE home, carrying key elements from room to room is crucial. In our home, dark teal (Really Teal by Sherwin Williams) is the defining element that brings it allll together. So once I saw this teal rug, I had to have it. From there, I added my signature pop of color and pattern with the end chairs and roman shades. It’s a bright, airy and fun space where we gather every morning, noon and night as a family. It’s chic and whimsical yet every bit as functional too. And yes, when my kiddos eat Spaghetti-O’s, they don’t sit at the end chairs!

I like to see the before and after shots of your house flipping! I also like to see the details of your projects and how exactly you accomplished them! Mostly the paint and wallpaper items.
Anytime you show us a before/after of your home is my favorite! The transformation is so inspiring!
I love love love your interior designs. You seriously should have your own show on HGTV! Your blog has given me inspiration for my own home. Can’t wait to see how you design your new house when it is finished!
I love seeing how you’ve made a house completely a home by renovating and adding your special style! It’s very encouraging to me, being a first time home buyer only a couple of months ago! Love all of the pops of color you incorporate throughout your home and also that you share with us where you get a lot of your decor! 🙂
Love the before and after! I love seeing the diamond in the rough revealed. In future posts, I’d love to see more of the process. Sometimes it’s intimidating to start a project, so how do you tackle a whole room? Do you paint and makeover things yourself? Is it a family affair? Or do you have a trusted team you go to? I discovered your blog through Instagram and I love how you can tell a whole story and evoke a feeling through pictures. What you do is an art, can’t wait for inspirational new posts and blogs!
I love all of your before and after photos and I love that you add links for many of the home decor items you have in your home. Your home is not only beautiful, but it looks comfy and livable which is a must for me. Thanks for inspiring me in so many ways!
I love your before and after room posts- they are so inspiring and I live and appreciate how you have the source lists at the bottom so I can easily find things I love 🙂 THANK YOU!!!
I love the posts that explain the process of a room transformation. Makes me feel better about not having everything done in one day. I love (and appreciate) the source lists on these posts. Your blog has been a favorite of mine for a long time!
I love your DIY posts! I would love to see more of the step by step tutorials you have done such as the picture frames or the Christmas trees! You are my favorite blog so I love everything you post! Thank you for being so inspiring!
wow! Candy Kirby and you make a great team. 😉 I love interior design posts best. Especially when it’s new and unexpected stuff together, not something that’s on every other site. Thank you for the detailed product lists and links. Merry Christmas!
I love to read your tutorials. Being able to implement the same techniques in my home is always exciting. 🙂
I love the before and after photos. Especially love the photos of your family living in the spaces you create. I would live to see more posts on accessories like throw pillow etc that can be quick changes to spice up a room. Ps keep the wardrobe posts coming too!
Home Tour posts are my favorite! Your style is so definitive and tangible. I love that every room epitomizes magic and whimsy and speaks to all of your senses!!! xx
I love the house flipping stuff because my husband and I are going to start flipping as soon as we find the perfect house to fix up! Also can’t wait to see what you do with your new home!!!
I seriously love all your posts!!! I read every one of them! But the posts I love most are about your personal journey and decisions…. How you got to where you are today. I always love feeling connected to the actual blogger! Like I know their story/journey! Xoxo
I learn so much from your post about design and revamping rooms. I love seeing where you purchase items and how I can incorporate them into my own home.
Another favorite is seeing your home lived in and pics of the “real” days too!
Keep doing what your doing! I’m a fan!

I love it all the style the décor before and after photos. The teal rug under the dining room table is a favorite of mine! I’d love for you to keep on posting pictures and giving me ideas for my own home. Recently purchased our home and so it’s been a fun adventure turning it into what we love. The blog is perfect I can’t think of anything that could make it better. Keep up the excellent work and thank you for taking time to share it!

I have a similar dining set up and have my ends empty because I can’t find the right end chairs! How did you add the fabric to the backs of these? Great idea!
