When I start a project, I like to find the spaces that will make a home special. Stairways can be one of these. With a few charming details, you can add a lot of personality to a home with this often overlooked space. Wether you are planning a remodel and looking to make major changes, are up for a DIY makeover, or simply want to add a few fun styling pieces to your existing space, today we are sharing beautiful images and ideas to give your stairway style.
A question that I get from many clients is, “How do I get the fresh, clean high-end look I love but still have a kid-friendly home?” If you have a family, white couches and expenisve rugs might make you cringe and the idea of a stain-free, clutter-free space might make you laugh. Kids are hard on homes. But although you should factor them in to your design plans, kids don’t mean you have to sacrifice the look you love. Today I am sharing tips on creating a home the whole family can live in and love.

A lot of the most popular pins on Pinterest use white furniture. It’s a look many of my clients love, but of course one hard to maintain with kids. If your heart is set on white, it is doable. Choose a slipcovered sofa in washable fabric. I love to use indoor/outdoor Perennials fabric that can easily be wiped down. Another option is to use a light colored natural linen fabric instead. It captures the fresh beachy feel of white, without the stress.

Recently I finished installing a black tile bathroom as a part of my Spanish Modern Project. I love how this space turned out. The contrast of the matte black tile surround paired with brass and natural wood accents made for a bold, fresh space. While black tile was the focal point of this bathroom, this space is anything but dark and dingy. The brass details and white grout give the space polish and shine. It has a modern, crisp look that is inviting. Today, I’m sharing how you can achieve this look easily by shopping at The Home Depot.

Designers and Stylists have a lot of experience transforming spaces and making them Instagram image worthy. We know that without the right finishing touches, even good bones and beautiful furniture can look blah. But even if you don’t have the budget for a professional, there are easy tricks you can do to make your home look more like the images that inspire you. Today I am sharing five styling secrets to help you get that layered designer look in your own home.

A room feels complete when shelves and tables are styled with objects that you love. Mixing old family photos, favorite books, travel souvenirs with new purchases creates a unique layering of beautiful objects that makes a room feel vibrant. If you don’t like the collection that you have, I always find beautiful styling pieces at local boutiques, vintage stores, or on sale at Pottery Barn, West Elm, One Kings Lane, or Etsy.
