Townhouse Transformation

My client recently retired and is now spending a lot of time at home. She decided she had worked hard her whole life and deserved to actually enjoy her home. Amen to that!

Color Boost

My clients built this gorgeous house when they moved to Atlanta as newlyweds. After a while, they decided it needed a shot of personality. That's where my team comes in! We decided on a palette of navy, aqua, gray and coral to bring some life into their home. Boost!

Juju Hat DIY

I love juju hats. I love saying "juju hat." They are those fabulous round feather pieces you may have seen around. They are actually African tribal headdresses. The texture and dimension and color make them a fabulous focal point!

Gallery Wall Tips and Tricks

Who doesn't love a great wall of artistically displayed art and photography? When doing a gallery wall, the trick to making it look like a "collection" is to have a unifying element.

Kid's Bright & Lively Art Station

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

Forget the Ficus

Sad dusty green puffs in the corner. You know you had one. Perhaps you still do. Look at that fake ficus. It wants to go away, far far away.

Cool Dining Room Reboot

When my clients decided to update their dining room, we started by taking the palette from warm to cool with lovely grays and blues.

This is a Door Post

Sometimes I drive to other neighborhoods to run so I can look at their houses. I realize this is sort of creepy and you can bet if I saw a stranger straining his/her neck to look at houses on my street while s/he ran, I'd be alerting the Neighborhood Watch.

A Quiet Place to Read (Someday)

Everyone wants a cozy place to read, you know, for that moment when the kids are playing quietly by themselves, the dishes are done and email is caught up. Until this divine moment happens, I have this lovely nook to walk past.

Travelled Industrial Chic

My clients are cool, successful, and new parents to a gorgeous little boy. They insist on quality and have a great love of industrial, mid-century and modern design.

My Dining Room

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.

Don't Knock the Tchotchkes

What is an outfit without accessories? A shirt and pants. What is a home without accessories? A place to sit. BLAH!!

Toddler Bedroom: Just Add Robot

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.

Taking Paint for a Test Drive

Selecting a paint color can be paralyzing. We have all seen the patchwork of options on our friend's (or our) walls being "tested" for months on end with no selection being made.
