Fall Home Tour 2022: Spooky Cottage Entryway
The entryway is always such a fun space to decorate for Halloween and fall! This newly redecorated space would be the perfect backdrop for some haunted, spooky decor! I love how it mixes in with the moody wallpaper and antique rugs- it truly feels like you’ve stepped into a haunted mansion!
One Room Challenge 2021: Week 1- Project Intro + Plans!
For this year’s One Room Challenge I will be making over MY ENTRYWAY! I ultimately decided on this space because it has so much potential and I had a lot of fun projects in mind for it that I thought would be perfect to showcase in this challenge. It’s not a space we use much right now or that I have enjoyed looking at lately, BUT I’m excited to make it brighter, cozier, and hopefully more open (more on that below)!
Beautiful Home Organizing Challenge: How to Organize Your Children's Clothes
The next space up on our organizing challenge is kid’s clothing storage. Somehow I’ve never made a good system with how I organize and store JW’s clothes, so this was something I was really excited to get started. I have linked everything that I used at the end of this post for you to shop as well!
One Room Challenge: Playroom Makeover - FINAL REVEAL!
I can’t believe week 8 is already here and that somehow I got this playroom DONE! I must admit, I took on a few too many DIY projects with this one but I also had so much FUN each step of the way. I learned a lot and we now have an amazing playroom for JW that I know he will enjoy for many, many years to come. Not to mention, my husband and I love this space so much that we have even been hanging out in here after he’s already asleep at night! If you’ve been following me on social media, you’ve likely already seen some after photos of the space but this post will be a complete round up of every project, every item linked to shop, and overall my design process for the entire space!
One Room Challenge Week 5 Update: Book Wall
This week we finished up what will probably be my favorite part of the playroom: the book wall! I knew I wanted a large part of the playroom dedicated to books/reading and a spot to display our massive vintage children’s book collection. I decided to have some book ledges/shelves custom made to the exact dimensions I wanted as opposed to buying pre-made shelves and piecing them together. MK Farmhouse Furniture was able to custom build these for me so reasonably (seriously cheaper than I would have paid for store-bought shelves AND he installed them too).
Magic Light Trick: How-To, FAQ, + Best Lights to Use Roundup
As soon as I first came across Nesting With Grace’s magic light trick, I knew I was going to use it non-stop all over my house! Basically this is a quick and inexpensive little hack to use sconces and lights without having to do any electrical wiring at all. You simply attach a battery powered puck light inside of the fixture and then mount it to the wall like normal. It is such a great way to add character and coziness to a space without having to pay an electrician or do something super permanent either! I’ve now done this trick several times throughout my home and for clients, so here’s what I’ve learned so far:
Our Next Fixer Upper: Boutique Hotel + Distillery
SURPRISE- we've got a new fixer upper project: A BOUTIQUE HOTEL + DISTILLERY! Alex and I along with our friend + business partner, Jarrod Williams , are excited to be working to bring another fun project to downtown Versailles! We are finishing fundraising now and still have a lot to do to make this a reality, but we have great support and are excited to make this dream a reality for our investors, partners, and the town! The project will include a boutique hotel, distillery, and restaurant that will focus on providing the essential Kentucky experience to our guests and our local community. Just like with The Amsden and our home, I'll be taking you along every step of the way through the renovation and design process so you can see the transformation (and then come celebrate with us and see it in person when it opens)!
Holiday Home Tour 2019: Modern Cabin Entryway
The first room I’m sharing on this year’s holiday home tour is my entryway! This room recently got a little revamp as I added a new console table and redid the area above it as well with a new mirror + sconces (using the magic light trick!- more to come on that later). I used a bit of my more colorful decor in here this year including my vintage stocking, skis, red beaded garlands, and some vintage-inspired pillows. I love the pops of color with all the black and white, more modern items that are usually in here- like the rug, table, sconces, etc.
