As the weather warms up and flowers begin to bloom, it’s time to update your living room with spring decor ideas and inspired elements. Adding spring decor ideas to your living room is more than just a superficial update; it can have a profound effect on your mood and well-being. Today I am going to…
Happy Spring! I am inspired to add my spring color palette to our home and for the weather to begin to warm. How about you? For the first time, I am beginning to understand how exciting and hopeful the prospect of spring is. In Southern California, we are not accustomed to cold, damp weather for…
One year ago today, we began the Beach House remodeling project. I thought it would be fun to share Ventura Beach House before and after photos. It’s been one year since we started the remodeling project and like most projects, now that we are almost done with the remodel, it’s a little hard to remember…
I haven’t really shared the bunk room at the beach house and I can’t believe it’s almost done. Thanks to Overstock it looks amazing! This bedroom is located downstairs in an area that used to be our garage! Since we bumped out the front of the garage ten feet, we had enough room in the…
Exciting news as I will be on the road this week! I am heading to the ALT Summit Conference and then I am off to Round Top for antique shopping. I love sharing exciting news. I am presenting at the ALT Summit tomorrow in Palm Springs and then for the rest of the week I…
During the beach house remodel, a problem arose with the staircase remodel. It left an opening in the wall in need of a creative solution. It was planned that there would be a solid wall up the staircase to the 3rd-floor deck. But when they went to build it, the new wall didn’t align with…
Having spent almost two weeks at the beach, I have identified some new Ventura Beach Favorites. Some are inside our home and others are not. There are some wonderful surprises in our newly remodeled Ventura Beach house. These are things I would love to take credit for, but I think they were more just being…
Although it’s not finished, I wanted to share our primary bedroom remodel ideas. I can’t wait to share how I intend to finish this room. Meanwhile, we have made a lot of progress in this room. If you recall, not too long ago it had purple drywall on all of the rooms! But it’s comfortable…
I know all the work spent on our remodel was worth it because we have a happy family at the beach house. I am so happy! After years of planning and working on the home, we are so happy that we can spend a week here and relax and enjoy and just have fun. There…
I love my space for flower designs! I have a huge flower arranging area in the Carriage House and it feels like my own flower shop. One of my favorite things to do is spend time out here every week. I love making flower designs such as dried flower arrangements, winter flower arrangements, and mason…
Just when I thought we had everything under control, the boys called and said they are coming west for a beach house tour and stay. Yikes! The remodel of our beach house was all about our family. We made this house bigger (and taller) so that our family could be comfortable and enjoy it more….
We love watching TV but don’t love how televisions look on a wall. Today I am going to share how to build an inexpensive TV art frame. If you’re like most people, you probably have a TV that’s mounted on the wall. And if you’re like most people, you probably don’t have a frame around…
Today I am sharing tips to plan a trip to Waco and the Magnolia Silos. It’s one of my favorite places to visit so I bought and remodeled a home there! Waco is an amazing place and I love visiting everything it has to offer. I love the Magnolia Silos and everything about Waco! Four…
We spent our third night at the Ventura beach house last night and it’s incredible. We still aren’t done yet but making lots of progress. There is still a lot that needs to be done at the Ventura beach house. But I am okay with that. I made so much progress this past week and…
It has been a crazy week at the Ventura Beach House! We are moved in (and starting to decorate) and are now managing the finishing projects. I want to pinch myself that the Ventura beach house project is almost done! It is turning out exactly how I pictured it in my mind, maybe even a…
