Happy 2020! I was able to do some work on the Idaho cabin over the holidays. Paint, paint, paint seem to be the biggest game changer. From painting vintage finds, to saying good bye to excessive wood paneling, color is definitely fun and refreshing for the New Year. Here are a few progress snap shots….

This is the first in a two step indoor/outdoor office makeover that’s long overdue. To increase value on the home we turned the garage in to a guest house with an apartment on the second floor. You can see that TEEN SPACE here. The downstairs has been turned in to an office space with an Office Makeover – Part 1
You might recall we turned the garage in to a guest house to make space for a teen room for Luke, and a downstairs and office for me. I finally have some pictures to share. If you follow along you might remember… Luke’s Great Gatsby inspiration for the room HERE While we we’re building HERE From Garage to Dream Teen room – the full reveal
Finally. The library is done. Down to the wire like always! Swedish photographer Anna Maria (Instagram @annamariafotograf) came here at the last minute to shoot so we could include the artwork from our charity which just arrived the night before and was the perfect missing piece for the room.

While the front of the house looks like a complete war zone the back of the house is a different story. The Swedish newspaper Dagens Industri was here to do a story on me and my house. Swedish photographer Anna Maria Zuellert caught this photo of the backyard…. …which is the opening of the article. Renovation Mayhem and our house in Swedish news
Our LA house is slowly taking shape. I haven’t had the house professionally photographed yet but a number of you have e-mailed and asked that I share pictures, so here are just a few snapshots of our dining area in the kitchen. The house has received a lot of updates since I last posted about House updates – kitchen & eat in dining area
Now I know why this is called the One Room Challenge…because it is truly a challenge to pull off a room just the way you planned it in only six weeks. Particularly when you have two other magazine shoots happening at the house this week! Some of the items that we need to complete the One Room CHALLENGE – Week # 5
Two weeks left and my bedroom is far, far away from being done. I’ve not received the fabric for the draperies, the bedding has not arrived yet, the sofa fell through etc. etc. The bright spot however was receiving the black and white striped cushions for the double chaise on the little deck outside my One Room Challenge Week # 4
