As you guys know, my Dad built a set of custom bookcases for the office makeover I’m doing as a guest participant for the One Room Challenge.

Here’s a look at how they came together…

I need a separate desk area even though we have plans to build a work island in the office.

I have big plans to give this hard working space a brand new start and leave my storage unit ways behind…

We replaced the floors, spray painted the light fixtures, painted the mirror and created a color palate of crisp whites, shades of blues and pops of yellow to complete this bathroom makeover. Here’s a look at how all of the details came together…
A few weeks ago I spent a good part of the week working on the River Ranch project. The house is a retreat space right on the water and it needed everything from sleeping pillows for the bedroom makeovers to furniture in every room.

Spring is always a fun time to celebrate flowers and host outdoor gatherings. For this vintage inspired Spring tablescape I wanted to bring in all of the random bits of china I’ve collected over the past few years.
