We just moved in and are all camping out in one room of the house since there is no floor yet. I’m delirious from moving all day, so hopefully I’ll make sense in this blog post! I so badly want to check up on all the other ORC makeovers, but it just has to waitOne Room Challenge – Week # 3 – Kitchen makeover madness!

One Room Challenge -Week 2 -the Kitchen makeover
Honestly I’m completely stressed out at the moment. The bungalow is filled with packing boxes up to my ears. We move in one week from today to a house that does not even have floors yet! Let alone a finished bathroom. I’ve been focusing on getting the basics in the guest bedroom done this weekREAD MORE One Room Challenge -Week 2 -the Kitchen makeover →
My accidental visit to Greta Garbo's house
Hope you had a great Easter weekend! I was lucky enough to have been invited to Palm Springs for the weekend with a bunch of moms and teenage boys to stay at La Quinta Resort in Palm Springs. The hotel is a gigantic but incredibly charming golf resort built in the 1920’s surrounded by aREAD MORE My accidental visit to Greta Garbo's house →
One Room Challenge – WEEK # 1
As you read this blog post you’ll realize I’m certifiably nuts. I’m moving in to a new home in 15 days that we’ve been gut renovating for three months. Or let me correct myself, we’re moving in to the one bedroom we can sleep in. The home doesn’t even have floors yet! Yet I’ve decidedREAD MORE One Room Challenge – WEEK # 1 →
We're finally painting!
A few days ago we started painting, not all of the house, but enough so we at least can move in.
One of the things I’m kind of obsessing over in design lately is black moldings and windows. This house has low ceilings and sunny California outside so I have to be careful not to be too heavy handed. Since I have the luxury of living there first and seeing what the light does to the walls, I can wait to decide just how heavy I can go with the use of black moldings.
We’re going to move in to the guest room for the first couple of weeks until the floor goes down. The plan for that room is to be a Beverly Hills hotel inspired suite with my own twist, so it was painted coral.READ MORE We're finally painting! →

The most inspiring renovation idea yet – My office.
When the renovations are going at lightning speed you often have to make really quick decisions. Luckily sometimes those decisions can be the best. The house didn’t have a space for an office for me, so I had been playing around with the idea of getting an office out of the house. But I wasREAD MORE The most inspiring renovation idea yet – My office. →
Design Obsession -The black and white kitchen
As the renovations have picked up speed, I need to make some design decisions! I’m going to try to remove myself from last on the list to top of the list for a change. Time has come to focus on interiors, something I’ve been putting off completely. Black and white has always been my favoriteREAD MORE Design Obsession -The black and white kitchen →
