Horray, it was painted yesterday. The painter did an excellent job! Now to move everything back in.
What did it look like before? It was the builder’s beige (Kilim Beige). See all the sample colors on the wall?
Ignore all that junk. I just didn’t want to clean it all up prior to moving all of the furniture out.
Now, it’s a warm g...

I mentioned going navy with the office door on my last post.
Though it’s not a brand new thing, painted interior doors are definitely becoming a trend. Painting the exterior of a front door has been popular for many many years, with red being the most popular color. But, what do you think of painting the interior? Great way to add a...

If you are a regular around here, you know we’ve been working on getting our garage organized. We added shelves and now a workbench. Got to be organized enough to do those projects, right?
When we left off, the bench looked like this.
We used 2×4 basics to help us build a sturdy work bench that required no angled cuts.
Once...

Below is our office space in the new house. Messy, I know!
I have only shown it in the original house photos when we closed on the house, so of course it was empty then. It’s still fairly empty other than a mid century modern desk we bought at Austin Antique Mall and my husband’s work equipment.
We didn’t style or do anything for t...

Last weekend, we got our garage organized. Today we’re working on our garage workbench.
Let’s face it, we aren’t carpenters. So we have to keep things basic when building. That’s why we chose the 2×4 Basics system. It can be found at places like Amazon. Or, directly on the 2x4basics.com site.
What’s so great about this? It...

Getting the Garage Organized

I’m sort of an organization nerd. As a kid, I organized for fun. I enjoyed cleaning my room (not the cleaning, mainly the organizing) and when that was done, I’d look for other things to organize. I had two little brothers and I’d take everything out of their backpacks once a week and organize it all.
They hated it. I loved it. H...

I’m working with a local client on her little 1 year old girl’s room. Here is a peek at the storyboard that we created for the space.
She purchased her dresser, bed and night stand at Indie Home in Austin. She also already had the art. We simply pulled it all together to create a cohesive, sweet space.
Below are a few fun pieces...
A Client Project – Master Bedroom

Authors: Kristy
I’ve been pretty lax about showing client projects lately. It’s such a tricky thing – you have to get permission and some clients don’t like their projects to be shown for fear that someone may copy them. But, more than that, projects are not always completed, completed according to the original vision, or you just don’t ever...
