How cute is Fred’s room?? Stay at home mom, Katie, just completed it and I think that she did a great job! My favorite piece is the chest of drawers. I also love the mix of vintage toys and the art collage. Great job Katie and way to represent Idaho well!!





I personally don’t have a designated office space at home but I know the importance of them. I usually find myself working on my kitchen table, couch and or sofa. I someday would like to have my own office space area with lots of room for storage and filing. What do you need in a work space?

Happy new week!! I start this week with over 90 mosquito bites all over my body. That’s right, you heard me right! I had a convo with a friend, standing in wet grass and I didn’t even realize that I was being eaten alive. Oops!! Its all good. I just look like I have some sord of pox. No biggy!
In other news, we just finished these bar stools (pictured above) last week. You like? There is a set of 3 available at Brass Razoo.

1. Fantastically cool hotel.

2. Can I get 3 of these Tea Towels?

3. Modern beach perfection.
I hope that this week was great for all of you!! Thank you for leaving comments and participating in Share With the Class. I want to start posting more of those. It helps get our design bugs moving and helps us figure out elements we love and don’t love in a space. Its a good exercise!
Have a great weekend and see you on Monday!!! xx

What a great summer getaway home! I can picture many lounge hours in this space.



I am loving these light teal and turquoise tones. A perfect compliment for gray, white, mustard and brown (and many other combination’s and colors). Here are a few options on how to use such a specific color in a space.
*Paint it on a wall or walls for a total dramatic effect.
*If you only want random splashes of this color, use it in everyday items like mugs, vases and other home accessories.
*And if you still want a dramatic feel but you don’t want to paint a whole room, choose one piece of furniture in a space to paint.
