Sometimes an image can stop you in your tracks not because it is a space with lots of design details and color, but because what makes it beautiful are the simple details and simplicity.
Design Tip: Never, Ever, Ever pass up a beautiful picture frame when antiquing or thrifting. There are so many other great ways to use a picture frame beyond framing a photo.
Hi all! I hope everyone has had a great week. My week has been jammed packed and I’m so happy the weekend is here.
Today I wanted to talk about a decorative element that I think has the power to change the dynamics of a room. It’s a little thing but in my book it’s one of the details you should pay close attention to when decorating.

One of the design consultations I had recently got me thinking about the do’s and don’t of styling a sofa. Not just any sofa, a sectional sofa.
I think a lot of people are attracted to sectional sofas because they offer abundant seating and because they seem to provide a bit more comfort than a traditional sofa.
After a while I think people can become disenchanted with their sectional sofa because they recognize that a sectional can limit the traffic flow within a room and sometimes a sectional feels overpowering in a space versus relaxed.
In my years of designing rooms, I’ve recognized that it’s not always the size, scale or placement of a sectional that causes the disenchantment, but instead its the fact that the sectional and the space around it are not styled or accessorized in the best way.

I read a lot of design blogs and follow many bloggers on instagram and pinterest and I know that all of them, along with me, are in the midst transitioning their home decor from summer to fall.
When it comes to decorating for fall, I often accessorize tabletops and my dining table with natural elements like leaves and pinecones and I usually decorate my front door with a fall arrangement. But, mother nature is not my favorite design element when decorating for fall. It’s faux fur!

One of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to add architectural details to your home is by adding molding to your walls. This bathroom really came to life because of the grid wall treatmet that was added. The raised molding gives the space definition and makes the space feel larger because the vertical and horizontal lines create movement for the eye. A few buliding supplies, tools and some paint and you can easily create this look in your own home.
Design Tip: The key to a classic and elegant look is to keep the spacing between molding uniform and perfectly aligned. And always caulk for seamless edges and joints.
