Easy Tips for Hanging Pictures + Wall Decor in Your Home
One of the requests I get most from clients is to help them arrange and hang their wall decor. I cannot tell you how many homes I have visited that have a fully decorated house but still have blank walls, just because they don't know where to get started and are afraid to "mess up." That's why I've gathered up all my best tips and tricks that make hanging wall decor and frames as easy as possible. Throughout my experience hanging wall decor in my own home, client's homes, businesses and restaurants, as well as retail and offices, I have learned a lot from trial and error, as well as from working with all different shapes, sizes, and types of wall decor. Take a look at my top tips, must-have tools, favorite tutorials, and more below!
Back to School Ice Cream Social Party
Yesterday we celebrated the end of summer and back-to-school with a fun ice cream social at the Amsden!

Below I've listed everything you need to know about throwing your own ice cream social party!

Custom Paint Color Consultations
One of the hardest parts of home ownership and the design process is making decisions about the perfect paint colors for your home. Paint truly is the easiest and most dramatic way to transform any room or update an outdated space without spending a ton of money. Not only is it difficult to narrow down all the options available, but also to know what shades work together for trim, doors, and ceilings, as well as how to create a color scheme that will flow seamlessly from room to room. I know how hard it is hard to make these decisions on your own, which is why today I will be opening up a select number of spots for custom color consultations with me in your home!
Summer Penne with Roasted Tomatoes, Mozzarella, Salami, + Arugula
I've said it before, but some of my all-time favorite recipes come from Southern Living magazine, particularly their summer issues. This is another favorite that I tweaked the instructions for just slightly, but overall kept the ingredients pretty much the same. The simple balsamic and olive oil penne pasta base is so light, flavorful, and perfect for summer. It also allows the dish to be able to be served both hot or cold, and makes it compatible with a variety of different ingredients if you want to switch it up! This is a great "clean out your fridge" pasta as you can customize it as you want with any kind of cold cuts, Italian cheese, and roasted vegetables.
