August 26, 2017 in Decorating, Design Plans, Designing, Furniture, Inspiration, Remodeling, Shopping

I’m really obsessed with this house and property after watching the Netflix series, Ozark. I’ve got a few pics I found on the internet and then I’m sharing what I would love to do to in this house, if I owned it.

The Mentor / Mentee Relationship in Interior Design Business

August 23, 2017 in Business, Trending

I’ve been hearing so much about mentoring younger professionals these days in all kinds of business talk. We all can find benefits from these relationships, however, I think these days, that we tend to look at them from a rather one-sided standpoint. I’d like to offer up a few thoughts on the subject from the mentor’s point of view today and see if perhaps there are a few other pros out there who might agree.

Beige kitchen to be remodeled 

"Everything is beige, beige, beige. Ugh!" - A Reader's Q and A

August 19, 2017 in Color, Kitchen, Q&A, Remodeling

I recently had a Designed in a Click consultation with a reader who was overcome with the beige travertine in her newly purchased house and didn’t know how to minimize its impact to get the look she loved. She was about to embark on a considerable remodel and needed some direction.

I’m sharing my response to her today to help others out there who have similar problems. That beige and gray marriage thing can be tough. What will really make an impact here for her though, in my opinion, was combining it….. in a certain, particular place.

3 Upstairs Baths Get An Update

August 16, 2017 in Bath, Design Plans, Remodeling

We’ve been working on lots of bathrooms lately. These three upstairs baths are for a former client of mine who just needed to freshen things up a bit. They want to put their house on the market, so we are updating for resale.

We don’t want to be too taste specific or spend a boatload of money. However, updating countertops, paint, lighting, and tile surrounds at the tubs are in order for a fresh and more inviting appeal. Their digital boards turned out kinda cool and I wanted to share them with you today.

Lots Of Pretty Home Decor - More Las Vegas Market Finds

August 12, 2017 in Furniture, Inspiration, Products, Shopping

I kind of love Vegas, even though I don't gamble at all, not even one slot machine! I don't know why, maybe because I come from humble beginnings in small town Texas, and the bright lights and big city opulence is kind of fascinating to me. 

I took my husband this time and we met my daughter there for the weekend. I've got a few pics of some of glam and glitz of Vegas and then more on my market finds, below.
