This patio was previously used for a swing and bike storage. That's pretty much it. You can see  that this porch provides amazing picture windows along the front of the home, but all you could see was a swing, some bikes, and anything else that found itself on the patio when people walked into the house. That made for a sad mom. We aim to make moms happy around these parts, especially ones who work from home and have to see their houses all day long!

My dear aunt and uncle have lived in Dallas, Texas for decades and in this beautiful house when two of the kids were still at home. Now that they've been out of the house for awhile now, it was time that their home had some love.

I'm thrilled to share that Gina Sims Designs is featured on Style Blueprint's latest post! 

I love love. I love spending time with my main man. I love our kids. I love making ordinary moments special. I love making holidays special.

I asked my almost 7 year-old what she wanted for her birthday. "I want a s'mores party," she said. That's my kid, thinking about the food first.

Even though I am undeniably a city girl, I adore visits to the country. The great thing about Nashville, Tennessee is that you find a beautiful and happy medium for both sides of your personality.

Happy Valentine's Day! This week has been full of snow days, homemade valentines, and, since my husband was in California on business (bless his heart, snark, snark), quality time with my kids!

The walls of my home are relatively neutral, but I chose this bright teal for an accent wall in my kitchen.

Two little boys needed a room to play and do their homework. I was working with Cristi Holcombe on this design and she suggested a gallery wall with the boys' art.

My daughter is a girly girl. You may remember her princess party last year. That was her in her essence. So when she told me she had changed her mind and now, instead of a fairy birthday party, she wanted reptiles, I was taken aback but super excited for a break from pink frills.

After spending an amazing week with my family at Panama City Beach, I've been thinking about how to incorporate beach style and design inspiration into my Atlanta home life.

This table is where art is made, work is done, vegetables are tried, papers are read, milk is spilled, jokes are told, arguments begin, and forgiveness is granted. This is where life happens in the Sims household.

Happy Mother's Day! Taking care of little people is a lot of work.

I have collected vintage (and vintage looking) robots for years. When the doctor said, "It's a boy!" I knew his room would showcase my robots.

I am working on an eDesign plan for a playroom that is visible from the living room of my clients’ house.

This week, I was flown to Texas for a design extravaganza of momentous proportions! Hey, nothing is small in Texas, baby. 

Last weekend we pulled out the stops for our favorite monkey…our 3 year old, Caleb!

I’m working on a design for a bedroom that is 1100 miles away. 

Happy Fun Fall Frivolity from my Fine Family to Yours!
