Bright + Cozy Basement Guest Bedroom Install

Bright + Cozy Basement Guest Bedroom Install

Who says basements have to be dark and drab? You would never know this beautiful guest bedroom is in a basement and that was our goal with this design! I love the pops of blue in here paired with cozy neutrals and lots of different textures throughout the bedding, rug, and furniture. A metal bed is such a simple and classic piece that will never go out of style and I love how it paired with the more modern side tables, lamps, and accessories in this space. If you want to see more of this basement, check out the living area, kitchen area, and more in this post here.

Summer Porch Refresh with Joss + Main

Every year I love to give our side porch decor a little refresh for the season including a good deep clean and something new- whether it’s new pillows, a new rug, or just new planters! This year I did a little more than usual, as I had kept things very similar the past few years and was ready for something new! Thanks to Joss + Main, my porch is now refreshed and ready to go for the rest of the summer and beyond! I was able to find both my new bar cart and set of gorgeous white planters at Joss + Main, and they really make such an impact on the space. Scroll down to see more photos and shop some of my favorite new pieces from Joss + Main!

Chic & Modern Dining Room Update

This chic dining room design is the second of three rooms I have completed for this client and I love getting to work in her clean and minimal style! Find her spa-like minimal bedroom here and cool midcentury living room here. Since the first floor is fairly open in her main areas, I wanted to seamlessly bring the same clean and simple feel from the living room into the adjoining dining room space. We did this by incorporating many of the same cool tones, clean lines, and midcentury style furnishing with pops of warm taupe and beige tones.

How to Create and Install a DIY Vintage Rug Stair Runner

Probably the most fun project of my entire one room challenge entryway makeover was the vintage rug stair runner. I have been dying to do this for years and had multiple inspiration photos saved. I knew it would fit so perfectly in this space and add such character as well. I was also pleasantly surprised with how easy installing a stair runner was and how smoothly the process went! I have gotten so many questions about how I completed it, so I wanted to share a full post with allll the details, and what I learned.

Clean + Cozy Basement Makeover

Clean + Cozy Basement Makeover

One of my favorite installs of 2020 was this cozy, light, and cozy basement makeover! This client had recently renovated their basement and basically just had a couch when I first showed up! We were able to pull the space together completely through a combination of e-design and in-person services, as well as decorating club! There are a few different areas of the basement- a seating area, kitchen/bar area, and an entry/landing area at the bottom of the stairs. There’s also a guest bedroom down here that we coordinated with the same look- check that out here!
