Hi there! I’m Jasmine Roth, creator of this Blog, founder of Built Custom Homes, curator of my online retail store The Shop by Jasmine Roth and host of HGTV’s hit show Hidden Potential. I was also on HGTV’s Rock the Block, but I won’t spoil the winner for you 😉 Building custom homes in Huntington Beach, CA is my bread and butter. I love all aspects of the home building process and finding ways to make homes as personal, functional and beautiful as possible. Join me as we explore my projects, DIY’s, behind-the-scenes peeks, and tips on how you can design beautiful, functional spaces in your own home. Let’s build something together!
It's no secret that one of my favorite paint colors is a pretty deep green. I've used the same deep green paint color a few times on my show Hidden Potential, and every time I do, I hear rave reviews! It's easy to see why everyone else loves this color: it's a little...
It's always amazed me how many people I've met who leave their bedroom as the afterthought, or the "we'll get to that someday" part of their home's design. Maybe the thinking is that it's not a common room of the home like the kitchen or living room, so they don't put...
A bathroom remodel always sounds like a good idea, until you actually start to get into the nitty gritty of it. Bathrooms are huge selling points for buyers, so even if you're not selling your house right now, you never know when that could change. So, it's definitely...
While an amazing amenity to have in a kitchen, it can still be tricky to figure out personal ways to style a kitchen island. It presents you with a whole new place to display your style! Over the years, I've found that my favorite ways to style kitchen islands usually...
I wanted to break down for you guys the baby products I DON'T regret splurging on. Because, let's be honest, having a baby is NOT CHEAP. That said, I spend so much of my time managing budgets (client budgets, construction budgets, design budgets) that I can't help but...
That perfect living room rug!!! They can be that one amazing thing that pulls your whole design together, but they're so dang hard to pick out sometimes! If you find yourself totally stumped by the huge world of rug options out there, I totally get it. Not only are...
Does your brain start get a little fuzzy when thinking about the perfect paint and trim combinations for your home? I get it! It's easy to think about choosing a wall color, but once you remember that a wall color needs to go well with your trim, picking paint...
Okay, so I know putting stuff on the table next to your bed isn't rocket science... but I really don't think you should overlook it as a design opportunity to style a bedside table! This is one of those places in your home where you need to balance design aesthetic...
With so many of us still working from home, I wanted to share my favorite desk DIY. Because yep, it's July and we're STILL stuck at home. Many of us have been reworking our at-home office setups to make them more suitable for the long haul, since quarantine seems to...
You guys loved hearing my last HGTV secret, and now there's no stopping me! Sorry, HGTV! They're just such fun little details, I want to share them with you all. This time, I'm telling you: there's something wrong with every single house on both seasons of my show,...
The time is here - I'm finally sharing my birth story of the day Hazel was born! Do you guys remember when I found out I was pregnant? It feels like forever ago! But now, my life was forever changed April 21. And while the whole experience and my feelings are hard to...
I'm such a sucker for good affordable rugs. I'm a huge fan of finding the perfect rug because a good rug can instantly change the design of a room. Let's say you're looking to update your space in a big way, but you don't have a big budget. Simply changing out the rug...
A few months post baby and there are a few baby products I never use. And when I was making my registry, all I heard from other parents was how much I actually DON'T NEED for baby. They warned me that first-time parents have a tendency to overdo the purchasing and end...
I know choosing the best kitchen color palette for your home can be tough. I mean, it's kind of a cheesy saying, "The kitchen is the heart of the home," but for a lot of homes, that's really true! Which is why I think most people spontaneously combust when it's time...
Thinking about what your doormat mat is missing might not be something you'd think about and I get it. But what do these three doormats above have in common? They're layered on top of another pretty rug! Did your brain...
Scandinavian style has been all the rage in interior design for a while now, and this trend doesn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon! And there's good reason for that. This is a design style that's all about simplicity, functionality, and a good dose of...
I knew it might take some time to figure out the best postpartum clothes I like for my own body. And luckily, I can now tell you guys my favorites! I'm sure you guys remember when I was writing about maternity clothes. Well now, it's already been about two and a half...
You guys LOVED the HGTV Secrets I've been exposing, like why books are always backwards. So today, I've got another one. But first, let's paint the picture: So, you're sitting there, watching your fave HGTV show (Hidden Potential, of course!), and the camera is...
I'm back with another edition of Splurge vs. Save, and this time we're shopping for throw pillows! I really think you can NEVER have enough throw pillows. Especially because you can move them around the house to freshen things up! A throw pillow is an instant...
Let's talk how to style a COFFEE TABLE! I love using a coffee table as yet another place in the home to display personality and style. But in my experience, you can't just put anything on a coffee table and expect it to...
I don't know if anyone's ever told you this before... but choosing from colors to paint your garage door doesn't have to be boring! It can be a fun color! However, based on the number of boring garage doors I've seen in my life, I'm guessing this isn't common...
Planters! Almost more fun than picking out the actual plants. Can we ever have enough of them? The results are in, and the answer is "nope." You know, it's a design rule of mine to have a green plant in every space. Plants just add so much energy to a room and help...
Throughout my career, I always loved getting the chance to transition a tween room to be a little more "big kid". And now that I'm a parent, I've been thinking a LOT about how I was as a kid, at all stages. And sitting up in the middle of the night with a newborn,...
Okay, so I know not everyone is totally keen on wearing a face mask in this COVID-19 pandemic. I get it! Especially considering when this whole thing started, we were told not to wear a mask. Plus, I was pregnant during this pandemic! So confusing. But at this point,...
Getting to pick out the cutest summer baby outfits has been my favorite part about having Hazel right now. Have you ever seen chunky little baby legs?! If the answer is "yes!" then you know exactly why I'm so excited to dress Hazel for summer weather. We've got the...
First off, I can't even begin to tell you guys how much I love summer weekends. Especially the big holiday ones! When I'm not on maternity leave, I'm usually in work mode around the clock (okay, I've been like that just a little bit on maternity leave, too. I can't...
So you've painted your front door, your exterior is a beautiful color, and your landscaping is looking amazing, but what about your front entry? I bet you're STILL forgetting one very important detail: your house...
One thing I'm asked about constantly is what my favorite interior paint colors are. And it's clear that you guys LOVE hearing what paint colors I use in my projects! Whether it's for front doors, or kitchen cabinets, or exteriors, we've been seeing a lot of...
Porch swings - what's not to love?! If you have a front porch, or any outdoor space that has room for a porch swing, I highly recommend adding one. Aside from adding more seating to your yard or porch, swings really add a touch of whimsy to your home. And you KNOW...
Let's talk tummy time! If you read that and thought, "huh?" I get it! It wasn't until I got pregnant and started reading aaallll the baby books that I really learned what exactly this is for babies, and why it's important. Basically, the American Academy of...
Since everyone is stuck inside lately it makes sense that quarantine baking has become all the rage! I know I mentioned earlier that I've been spending a lot of time in the kitchen lately, since holing up at home means more meals are cooked here than ever before. ...
Choosing the perfect bathroom color palette is another thing that can be super tricky to pick! Because bathrooms, like kitchens, are rooms that are really impactful on a home's overall value. So when we're making...
Father's Day is comin' in hot! I know it's hard to believe, but we're well into June now, people. Ever since we found out we were pregnant, I've been dreaming of celebrating Brett on his first-ever Father's Day! It makes me emotional just thinking about it -...
Patio furniture can SERIOUSLY break the bank. So a lot of times we end up buying something cheap just to have on our patio or in our backyard so we can enjoy our outdoor space. But it's something you really need to spend time thoughtfully shopping for because it...
What's great about kitchen decor is that it's something so fun and easy that can be switched in and out any time you want! Because I don't know about you guys, but I've been spending a LOT more time in my kitchen lately. And by that, I really mean Brett. He's been...
Open shelves - they’re all the rage these days! And for good reason, because if there’s one thing I love, it’s functional storage that’s also pretty to look at. But styling shelves is kind of an art form. You...
There are so many exterior paint colors to choose from! But the color you choose to paint your house makes such a huge difference in your home's curb appeal. I've said this before and I'll say it again: the exterior of your place is the first impression that your...
Whether quarantine has been taking its toll on your kid's bedroom, or it's simply time for a good old room refresh, it always feels nice to get your kiddo's space in order. Also, Kids are constantly growing and changing, and that means what they need to feel comfy...
Flooring - it seems like a pretty straight-forward material to pick for your home, but it's not always that simple. When you combine all the aesthetic choices with what kind of material will work best for your home, the possibilities are truly endless. But I use the...
Some of the coolest projects we've done on Hidden Potential are actually so easy to do - you just need to be ready to make a change and really go for it! On Season 2, Episode 5 "From Beige to Beautiful," my good friend Kim Frost of Ripe Designs helped me create this...
Big HGTV secret coming at ya! And maybe it's something you've never even noticed. But have you ever been watching a show on HGTV, and when they cut to the big design reveal, you see that any and all books in the space are turned around backwards? As styling shelves...
This year, your Memorial Day BBQ weekend might not look quite the same as years past. With Coronavirus restricting large gatherings in pretty much all parts of the country, the usual backyard BBQs that we're accustomed to won't be happening. But let's not let that...
Even though we're isolated at the moment, that doesn't mean getting Hazel dressed in the morning in the most adorable and comfy stay-at-home baby outfits is any less fun! Because I swear, one of the most fun things about having a newborn baby is all the cute clothes...
I know, I know, choosing between millions of kitchen cabinet paint colors is some serious pressure. But painting your kitchen cabinets an epic color is one of the best ways to set your design style in the kitchen and really make an impact. This is the way to make...
Anyone else finding their favorite things on splurge vs. save lists, emphasis on the save, of course?! The same goes for planters, because I have a rule when it comes to plants: never leave them out of any design! And I also have a rule when it comes to buying...
How do you know when it's time for a backyard makeover? When the sun is getting hot, the grill is getting the dust wiped off, and, oh yeah, it DEFINITELY hang-outside-season! Where I live in California, it's nice enough to spend time outdoors most of the year, so...
Of course, it's not until after the baby is born that you realize all the newborn essentials that are keeping you sane! The past three weeks since Hazel was born have been the most completely blissful and totally exhausting weeks of my life. Everything that I...
Choosing the perfect wallpaper designs can feel pretty intimidating, but the payoff is so worth it. Using wallpaper, similar to kitchen backsplash, gives you the chance to have a little FUN in your space. Also, it...
Today I'm finally compiling the best Etsy shops that I'm LOVING right now. Because if there's one thing I get asked more than 10 times a day on my Instagram account, it's "Where did you get that?". I'm always on the hunt for great pieces that will take my projects to...
I don't know about you guys, but I sure miss being in a giant movie theater with my giant tub of popcorn. Now, I know what you're thinking - "Jasmine, you have a brand new baby, you wouldn't be able to go to the movies anyway right now!" I know, I know! So...
Picking the perfect kitchen backsplash for your kitchen can feel like a deep sea of options. Choosing any kitchen material really, can be a pretty overwhelming process. Subway tile or self-splash? Colored tile or white tile? Where to buy all this stuff?! Calm...
A lot of people might freak out when thinking about the best places to buy hardware. Well, I'm going to toot my own horn here for a sec: I can pick hardware with the best of 'em. Hardware is the jewelry of your...
I'm not going to lie... starting a kitchen remodel can be daunting. And the first kitchen renovation project I ever took on was a bit of a doozy. When it comes to kitchens, there are SO MANY factors and customizations to consider that it can be totally paralyzing to...
Last week I posted some of my favorite ideas for kids' activities, and one of them was this super cool DIY hidden art station. In Season 2, Episode 10, "It's My Dream Home Now," I had this fun idea to make the homeowners' three art-loving kids these hidden arts and...
If you can believe it, it's already time to pick out Mother's Day gifts! In case you also lost track of what day it is (we’ll blame that on #quarantinebrain and also #newmombrain!), Mother’s Day is coming up quick! I’ve always been so appreciative of my own Mom and...
If you've been following along here or watching my HGTV show Hidden Potential, you already know by now: putting cool spaces under the stairs is kinda my thing. If there's usable space in a home that's just begging to be made into something functional and fun, you...
You guys, I created the cutest Vintage DIY Crate Wall for Baby Girl Roth's nursery, and I just HAVE to share it with you so you can make one in your own home! The inspiration for the DIY crate wall project was to add something vintage to the room while also creating...
This strange time right now has forced a lot of us to get creative with quarantine activities while at home, especially if you have kids! A lot of my friends and family are now in the fifth week of #stayathome orders, which means they’re in the fifth week of trying...
Well, this is it! The ultimate baby registry round up! The last one of them all! This post is set to publish the day before I'm scheduled to be induced. So if all goes as planned, I'll be headed into the hospital tomorrow, fully prepared to meet our Baby Girl for the...
I love baby bath time. The ritual of it. The slowing down of it all. Because let's be honest, is there anything sweeter than a freshly bathed...chihuahua? I'm just kidding! I've bathed plenty of babies (of both the human and fur variety) in my day. I may even...
One of the number one questions when it comes to rennovating a home: what are the best front door paint colors?! Well, if you've watched my HGTV show Hidden Potential, or follow along on my Instagram feed, you know that I'm BIG on curb appeal. It's the first...
This year my Easter basket was all about self-care. Brett and I had a safe Easter at home, and even though the holiday is over (I hope everyone had a nice Easter and Passover!), I want to share with you guys what I got in my Easter basket! OK, so does it still count...
One question I get asked constantly by clients, friends and even family members is, "Where can I find good rugs that are both affordable AND durable?" So today I'm sharing some secrets: my go-to picks for rugs that are beautiful, within budget, and can take a beating...
I don't know if I'd classify myself as a technophile, but I definitely enjoy any sort of "gear." When I say "gear," I mean, GEAR. Cool, probably unnecessary stuff that makes life just a little bit easier. A little more custom. A little more savvy. So it should...
We’ve just about finally completed the #rothhomestead, which is the new-construction house I’ve been building for Brett and I for the past three years. With Baby Girl Roth on the way, we knew we wanted to turn one of the bedrooms into a nursery for her. When I started...
Going through a global pandemic in the world is one thing, but I can confidently say being pregnant during a pandemic is a whole other experience. Since I got pregnant, people asked me: “what’s your birth plan?”. And my answer was sorta simple: take the classes at...
Okay, so at first, packing my hospital bag for my upcoming hospital visit (AKA labor!) didn’t seem like that big of a deal. But as it got closer, I realized I sorta wanted to bring a lot of things! I started to go with the “if it will make this day any easier, I’m...
Well it's about that time: time to buy look into the best baby carriers! There's been a whole lot of talk of being a "carrier" these days. So it's ironic that I had this weekend slated way ahead of time to share the baby carriers Brett and I considered. And the ones...
I think I can speak for us all and say it's time for a good living room refresh! It's safe to say a lot of us have been cooped up in our homes for, well, a while now. And if you're anything like me, you've probably started to pick apart your living space. Like the...
Did you ever think you'd need to order some emergency office chairs for yourself?! Us either! Everyone seems to be in Working-From-Home mode these days, and if you didn't already have a sweet at-home office or work station set up, your back is probably hurting you...
When I first found out and shared I was pregnant, I was overwhelmed with love, support, advice...and pregnancy books! Almost immediately, books started arriving in the mail from other mothers in my life. They were eager to share things that had helped them navigate...
Okay, the last time I posted about maternity clothes, I was “fairly” pregnant. At the time I thought I was enormous, but looking back on it, my bump was still pretty small! Now I'm feeling SUPER preggo! So I wanted to write another post to share this: you might have...
Okay, it's obviously a weird time in the world, and I needed to share some of the things I've done to feel better during quarantine. I know staying at home is totally necessary right now, but it’s also driving me a little crazy! The first couple days of quarantine...
I was really tempted to start out this post about nursery chairs by saying something clever about being "off my rocker," but it just isn't coming to me. So instead, I'll just say that no nursery feels complete without a comfy corner nursery chair in place. I knew I...
It used to be so difficult to find a dog bed that wasn't totally unattractive. I mean, next to impossible. It was so hard, that I often ended up making my own using reclaimed wood or other salvaged items and a custom covered pillow insert. Now, there are so many cute...
I like a good bag as much as the next girl, so I figured picking out a diaper bag would be fun and easy. I was wrong. Probably harder than the things I thought I'd never need. There are so many choices. Tote or backpack? Vegan leather or nylon? Removable insert or...
I'm still in shock that my baby shower has come and gone, and that I'm now just weeks away from getting to meet our baby girl, face to face!! I feel like I just found out I was pregnant! It was the most beautiful day, filled with love and smiles from some of my...
Well, it's that time, if you can believe it. Time to pick out a dress to wear to my baby shower. I can't believe it's already already here! Remember when I found out I was pregnant?! My mother-in-law and sister-in-law have been planning the event for months, and I am...
Ok, so 7 months ago I thought I knew about pregnancy and what I was supposed to have on my baby registry. I mean, I thought I had a pretty good idea of what I was getting into and a general knowledge of what to expect. Boy was I wrong! There’s a whole part of...
Interior plants are kind of having a moment right now, don't you think? With all of the new, online potted houseplant delivery services now available (The Sill, Leon and George), and with faux-greenery getting increasingly realistic and design-savvy, it seems like...
Even though this is our first baby, this is not my first attempt at setting up a changing area in our home. Six years ago, back when we first moved into our current home, all of our friends started having babies, and I wanted to make our house as accommodating as...
Sometimes there are spaces in a house that seem purely functional: the mudroom, the laundry closet, and the coffee bar. It is these high-functioning spaces that often get overlooked when it comes to design. After all, asking a room to be smart AND beautiful seems like...
When it comes to handling a swaddle blanket, I got it down already. Did you guys know I have a secret skill? It's swaddling. I always keep it on the back-burner in case this whole building thing falls through. I can swaddle for days. I've swaddled humans and canines...
One of the benefits of being a designer is that I have access to all sorts of wholesale brands and new items that aren't available directly to the public. For my latest build, the #RothHomestead, I had a very specific design board, and had to scour the universe to...
This life can get hectic, and sometimes we all need a little reminder from wall art during the day to work hard, to be kind, to keep your head up, and to shine your light. I'm always drawn to these positive messages in the form of wall art. I hang them in strategic...
After asking around, I've decided to build my baby bedding registry in layers. First stop, and based on my extensive research, the most important layer is: a waterproof mattress cover! I'll probably order at least two of these, to make middle-of-the-night bedding...
I don't want to brag, but I've seen a reading nook or two in my day. And there are a few essential items that all reading nooks require to feel cozy, inviting, and nook-y enough to lure you away from your iphone and to-do list. Here goes: What do you need for the...
Turns out shopping for baby toys is super fun. No wonder kids love them! I felt like a kid again myself, picking out all the sweetest baby toys for the new nursery. And now I can't wait to share them with our new baby girl!! My favorite baby toys [show_boutique_widget...
I know you might not want to hear it, but it's been COLD here in Southern California! Cold enough to allow for a fire in the fireplace. Brett and I have had ours roaring the past few nights and it's reminded me of just how cozy and homey a fireplace can make us feel....
A potted plant? Good guess, but no. A P90X Workout Base Kit? Nope--that was a few years back, and didn't go over so well. A puppy? I wish! What's your final guess? Here's the answer: a weighted blanket. Okay, I hear the crickets...
Choosing the perfect nursery rugs can be tricky! Rugs take up a huge amount of design real estate, so you want the one you choose to really set the stage for the room. With hardwood floors in our nursery, I knew I wanted a rug (or two) on the floor in order to soften...
It's happening! It's really happening! I'm having a baby girl and she needs a place to sleep! And it has to be cute and adorable and fuzzy and dreamy, but also sophisticated and well-curated and soothing and comfortable and cool. No small task. But of course, I've...
So, I'm quickly learning that something as seemingly good-natured as the best baby teethers can be surprisingly polarizing among parents. But please take it easy on me because I'm a first timer here, and am just trying to make the best, most informed decisions I can...
Ok you guys, maternity clothes and shopping for them is a topic I never thought I'd write about. I mean, I love clothes and shopping is always a fun way to spend a Saturday, but maternity clothes - it’s a whole different world! Way harder than shopping for baby girl!...
According to the OC Register, swimming can make you happier in the following ways: 1.) Eliminates the Risk of Falling 2.) Builds Brain Power 3.) Relieves Stress 4.) Staves off Depression 5.) Immediate Sense of Accomplishment If swimming can make you happier in these...
Q: Which onesies did I pick for my registry? A: All of them. I picked them all. What's even more difficult than narrowing down these choices is imagining having a mini-human who actually fits into these little tiny pieces of clothing. What will she look like? Will she...
When I'm staging a home for a photo shoot or on-camera reveal, the first place I always pull from is my Warehouse. The Warehouse houses the Built Custom Homes offices as well as a lot of the inventory for my shop. The reason I always look here first is because, since...
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Well folks...after a 2 week long vacation, it feels super good to be back in the Built Custom Homes Warehouse cranking out some new work!! One of the very first things on my list was to give The Shop a little re-fresh moment. So, this morning,...
Is there anything cuter than a pair of newborn baby shoes? I think not. Maybe it's the fact that they are completely useless (babies can't walk!) and therefor utterly ridiculous and silly; maybe it's the fact that they look like they're straight out of the "Honey I...
That's right! This very important room from my (winning!) house on Rock the Block has never been seen before, and I'm revealing it to you now because...well...I just think it's too cool to keep locked in a photo vault for all eternity. And the room I would like to...
When I started working on the art for my nursery, I knew I was in trouble. Choosing art is always my favorite part of any design process. It’s such a great way to personalize a space, express your personality, create a collection that you love, and support local...
For some reason, picking out a stroller made this whole pregnancy thing seem suddenly REAL. As in, this is HAPPENING. As in, pretty soon, I'll have an ACTUAL baby to put inside of this stroller. Which means the stroller has to be so many things: safe, cute, practical,...
Ok, first things first, decorating a house for Christmas is a lot of work but it’s way more work when you’re pregnant. I’m not complaining (ok, maybe I am!) but it definitely made it a little harder this year. I also decided to decorate EARLY, but it all worked out...
Does anyone else out there enjoy wrapping gifts more than any other part of the holiday gift-giving-process? There’s just something about finding the cutest wrapping paper and unexpected ribbon and pairing them with a clever topper that makes me feel all warm and...
Organization: it's the weight loss of our times. By that, I mean, it's what everyone aspires to yet the one thing that still always manages to remain just out of reach. Yo-Yo Organizing is just as prevalent as Yo-Yo Dieting, where you finally get that rogue junk...
Okay, okay, so I may not have a baby THIS Christmas, but that hasn't stopped me from registering for all of these adorable holiday baby items. First of all, I just can't help myself. Second of all, I WILL have a baby next Christmas, and I think we can all agree, it is...
When I think of babies eating, I think of bottles or breast feeding, neither of which requires that much gear. Or so I thought, until my friend and her 8 month-old came to stay and she (my friend, not her baby) whipped out an elaborate place setting consisting of a...
Ok, this has been a really fun item to “source” for the nursery, but I actually wasn't sourcing because I've had my crib picked out for years and bought it the minute I found out I was pregnant. That said, in true designer fashion, I wanted to see what else was out...
I know you would never forget about the four-legged, furry humans in your family. Okay, I know they’re really dogs (or cats), but pets love the holidays, too! Don’t forget to spoil them with lots of love and treats. It’s not easy being your best friend and constant...
Because people who garden can really dig it! This is no ordinary gardening gift basket, mind you. This gardening gear is a curated collection of the cutest, most 70’s inspired plant paraphernalia I could lay my chic little floral gardening gloves on. Share the love...
All I want in life is to go Glamping, but I just can’t seem to fit it onto my calendar. Instead, I’m filling this basket with all the coziest, cutest, Glamping gear I can find, and then I’m going to book out the chicest, safari-tentiest, s’more eating smorgasborg of a...
I’ve ALWAYS loved a good mocktail, but now that I’m preggers, I feel even more strongly about giving these teetotaling treats the due they deserve. Just because you choose to abstain does not mean that you have to live without a cute cocktail pick full of...
Trendy traveler, jet-set gypsy, call it what you will, but this basket is all about traveling in comfort and style. Let’s face it: traveling these days is far from luxurious no matter how you cut it. With the right gear, however, it is possible to minimize stress and...
One of the coolest things about living in Southern California is...Christmas by the pool! It never fails to amaze and delight me, the juxtaposition of Christmas lights against a backyard pool party in December. [show_ms_widget id="36030307" image_id="41896772"...
Christmas at the beach?! Why not? Whether you live in So Cal or So Dakota, everyone can appreciate a good beach basket, even if they won’t be able to play with it until the summer months. Give someone this little basket of sunshine, and let it sustain them through the...
A hostess gift is so last year: THIS year, it’s all about the hostess BASKET. Blow all those cutely bagged bottles of wine out of the water with a thoughtful collection of hand-selected items meant to help make this hostess’s holidays just a little more mellow....
Did you know that smoking meats is the new golf? At least a girl can dream. In my house, any given weekend consists of juggling the two, and this gift basket may just help facilitate that delicate balance. I guess I can’t really complain when I get to happily partake...
This Montessori-style wooden boat is the perfect vessel for a kid’s holiday gift basket. Filled with toys perfect for a day on the water, our little captains’ imaginations can run wild as they navigate through the high holiday seas of gift wrap and ribbon. ...
I just really love sneakers, okay? So to me, a whole basket of them would be the ULTIMATE, knock me over and call me St. Nick stunner of a gift.
So first of all...did you think BOY or GIRL? If you’re reading this, I’m guessing you probably already know, but were you #teamgirl or #teamboy? Everyone keeps asking - did you and Brett think it was a girl or boy? Truth be told, neither of us really had any idea,...
Last night, I watched the movie “Elf” with my two nephews and let me tell you...it never gets old! Especially when seeing it through new eyes. Let us all remember Buddy’s words of elfin wisdom moving into this holiday season: “The best way to spread Christmas cheer...
So, I’m already getting a lot of advice along the lines of “you don’t need all that baby stuff.” And I get it, I do! I’m constantly helping people rework their homes to include more storage for all their excess stuff. BUT this is my first baby, and I’m really, really,...
Last weekend, Brett and I hosted our 9th Annual Chili Cook Off. This is one of my favorite events that we accidentally started and it stuck! I look forward to it every year. It's such a great way to celebrate the fall season with friends, family, and great food. Over...
Okay, so this is where it gets fun. Selecting a high chair and a bassinet for my registry was definitely cute, but those items are more perfunctory. A mobile is pure, unadulterated whimsy, floating down from the ceiling. Each one is cuter than the next. Some are more...
TRES CHIC Important! Warning! Red Alert! DO NOT going into the holiday season without buying this one very important item: a serving tray that you LOVE. The perfect serving tray can elevate any gathering from casual to well-considered. It can create a...
Who knew high chairs were so high design these days? Okay, maybe YOU did, but I sure didn't. There are some seriously stylish high chair situations out there and for real, though, how am I supposed to pick just one? At first, I couldn't, so I narrowed it down to nine....
What is it about fringe that is just so...fun? The combination of texture and movement fringe can add to a piece is almost frivolous. But in the best of ways. It brings to mind rodeos and the roaring twenties and the wild west and the psychedelic sixties, none of...
The day that Brett and I found out we were pregnant, I called my family to see if they wanted to watch the premiere episode of A Very Brady Renovation on HGTV. Of course they did! They had no idea that Brett and I had some BIG NEWS to deliver. We gathered at my...
Okay, forgive me, but I am new to this whole baby gear market. And why didn't anyone tell me that simply going online to try and pick out a bassinet would be a time-sucking rabbit hole of an undertaking? Do I want rocking or not? Wooden or rattan? Modern or vintage?...
Does Fall weather automatically make anyone else feel like they need to switch things up on the pillow front? I like to trade out my summer pillows (linens, cottons, brighter colors) for my fall ones (furry, knit, warmer tones) to help usher in the new season, in time...
So you guys - this is such a surreal story to write. As you know, I work A LOT and getting pregnant has been on the radar, but its never felt like there was a good time. So in the summer of 2019, I “pulled the goalie” as they say, but then proceeded to film “Rock...
"Nobody burned down your she shed, Cheryl." Have you guys seen the She Shed commercial? Brett and I joke about it ALL the time, and so I was BEYOND excited when the Today Show approached me and all my Rock the Block ladies to participate in a friendly little She Shed...
To say that I had a fun time filming A Very Brady Special with The Pioneer Woman host, Ree Drummond, is an understatement of far-out proportions. This lady is fun, funny, and dude, she can COOK! I might have been fan-girling just a little bit (okay, maybe a lot),...
Rock the Block premiered last night on HGTV, and even though I was there, doing the thing, every day during filming, and even though I lived and breathed this production for months straight, I was still amazed by the final result. I mean, this was a BIG production....
Mauve is the new orange, or so it seems this month in the shop. There is no pumpkin color to be found, but I am clearly feeling me some smoky mauve this fall because I have sourced it in great variety and abundance. And I can’t say I’m sorry about it. It still feels...
My current motto: Faux fur, for sure! I love faux fur so much. It gives you all the warm, cozy, textured goodness without any of the guilt. It is such a great way to add depth to a room, while also making it instantly inviting. I think every room needs a little...
TGI...Sourcebook! Yup, it's Friday, so you have two whole days coming up where you can curl up with your laptop or phone and dig deep into all the details from this 836 square foot kit house remodel, originally built in 1905. SEASON 2 EPISODE 7 SOURCEBOOK ...
Yup. I’m calling it. It’s all about the shag this season. Furry, fuzzy, soft, shaggy shag. Pillows, poufs, blankets, jackets. Shag-a-delic, shag-a-licious, shag-tastic. Shag as a neutral. Shag as a pop of texture. Shag as a statement. I am Pro-Shag, all-in, the...
It's that time again! A brand new Sourcebook is now available for Episode 6 of Hidden Potential! SEASON 2 EPISODE 6 SOURCEBOOK Here's a little preview of what to expect:
Boro is so great, I like to say it twice. A lot of people might ask, "What is Boro?" And if you don't know the answer, then do I have a textile treat for you! Boro, meaning "ragged" or "tattered," was a technique used by...
It's so funny: I just recently switched over to almost all fake plants at my house while my sister-in-law just launched Operation Jungle in her own house. We even traded a few specimens: her fake plants for my real ones. The thing is, I just don't have time right now...

So, I kind of feel like a lot of people aren’t totally familiar with World Market. They might think it’s all just brightly colored, eclectic goods from around the world, or a lesser known competitor of Pier 1 Imports. Well, I am here to tell you otherwise. For me,...
Does anyone else love a good wrap dress as much as I do? It’s always my go-to silhouette on the rare occasions when my evening calls for something more festive than jeans, a tee, and some (cute) Vans. Similar to what I’m drawn to on the home front, I always appreciate...

Why should kids get to have all the fun? I used to LOVE back-to-school shopping. The feeling of getting organized. Sharpening my pencils. Laying everything neatly into my fresh, crisp new backpack. Getting my three-ring-binder in top-notch order. I STILL use September...
My Fall 2019 Color Pick: Peach! I think it's a really nice transitional color, carrying effortlessly from summer into the crisper months; an ode to fall hues, but with a hint of summer pastels and sunsets. It says, "I'm not ready to seriously consider the approach of...
We’re always trying to raise the bar over here at Team Jazzy, and after Season One, one of my big goals was to make all the information I share with you here in my episode specific blog posts easier to read and navigate. Since my intent with each episode post is to...
My team and I had just finished a meeting the other day, and we started chatting about our current favorite movies, books, coffee shops and...straws. Yes, straws. Because here in California they’ve recently outlawed plastic straws, so everyone’s converting to paper...
I know Rosé is all the rage this summer, but I have a hard time drinking wine when it’s really hot outside, even if it’s chilled wine. Even if it’s pink. So, being the resourceful, DIY-type person I am, I came up with the perfect solution: FROSÉ. So, it’s Rosé, in...
9 Boho Patio Must Haves Olive Tree: I mean, if we’re being real, here, your patio should probably have an olive tree of some sort. A giant centenarian is preferable, but a cute, healthy, potted one will do. String Lights: No patio is truly complete without a string or...
I grew up listening to Willie Nelson's Greatest Hits on repeat, but since then, and maybe as a result of overexposure, I haven't really listened to much contemporary country music. Consequently, when I...
Welcome to Season 2, Episode 2 of Hidden Potential. This was a really special home for a very sweet family, and the results turned out pretty spectacularly, if I do say so myself. It doesn’t even look like the same house on the outside. In fact, I’d go so far as to...
Would you just look at this beautiful kitchen? I mean, before, it wasn’t bad. Not at all. But it just didn’t speak to John and Ann. It didn’t capture their personalities. It didn’t say anything about their family. It was new and kind of cold and sterile. We did keep...
When I saw this video clip had over 5 million views on HGTV’s Instagram account, I knew I had to write a quick post sharing the simple details of this awesome DIY project. It’s so easy (REALLY!), and don’t limit yourself to a cement walkway. Think stair risers, coffee...

So, every once in a while, a moment comes along in your life where you think, “Is this a dream?” And then you write a blog post about it, and title the blog post with a double acronym because it isn’t a dream, it’s real, and such a moment deserves to have not just one...
Hi. My name’s Jasmine. My friends call me Jazzy, Jasmina, and Hambino (don’t ask). I like just about anything woven from natural fibers, crisp, black and white accents, and stylish storage solutions. Also, long walks on the beach and puppies. Also, all of these really...
When I’m not wearing work boots, I like to mix it up and slip into some really racey...sneakers. Tennies, running shoes, call them what you like, but I’m of the opinion that there is a sneaker for every occasion. Here are some of my current favorite, kicks-inspired...

I’ve been on a travel whirlwind lately, doing press for Season 2 of Hidden Potential, heading to Nashville with the Brady Kids to host the HGTV Lodge at the CMA Fest, and visiting old friends and their adorable new babies, and have gotten a bunch of questions about...

Ack! Does anyone else love target as much as I do? Okay, dumb question. EVERYONE loves Target. Even if you hate it I know you also kinda secretly LOVE IT. The funny thing is, you could send 100 different people in there with $100 and the same exact shopping list and...
As you may or may not know, I have a hard time doing things in moderation. So, when the time came recently to plan a beach bonfire for my crew, it wasn’t even a question. This wasn’t going to be just any old bonfire. It was going to be the crowning jewel of beach...

I’ll be honest, I don’t have a lot of time to exercise these days, unless home demolition is the hottest new workout trend. (Which it kinda should be.) But, when I DO have a few minutes somewhere in between work and crawling deliriously into bed, I try to squeeze in...

Remember how excited we were for the Remnants of the Past Vintage Show? We marketed, canvased, promoted. We bought, painted, nailed, drilled, taped, glued, sanded, constructed. The result was a repurposed, curated, (dare I say awesome?) inventory and a prepared...
The Offending Property: 2 bed/2 bath, third story condo. Located one block from the beach in Long Beach, CA. Inhabited by renters for the last 15 years, dated, smelly, dark, broken. The Sentence: 3.5 weeks of renovation, $30,000 budget, to become pretty and...
We purchased this chair at the Long Beach Swap Meet. Although we loved the "patina", the actual idea of sitting on all that rust was a bit off-putting. Also, we LOVE to powder coat old furniture. It is, in our opinion, like giving a second life to what otherwise...
Is it metal? Is it wood? All we know is it's awesome! Alright, we'll admit it, this is one of those projects we thought would be ridiculously easy and when it's all said and done, it just wasn't. Why not, you ask? First, a quick backstory: As you may already know,...
So today we ask, do you LOVE your powder room? For those of you that are confused, we are referring to the small bathroom that (usually) lives on your first floor and is (usually) one of the places that every guest will see in your home. It is (in our humble...
Last week we found this old basket in our garage. We had picked it up from the Long Beach Swap Meet years ago and never really done anything with it. Inspired, we set about making it into a cute little "doggie basket" to go under our desk.First we spray painted the...
Posted by popular request - how to do your own photo-to-wood transfer. Yay! So we are by no means the first blog to post about this. What? Yeah that's right, we know what's up! That said, we wanted to share what worked for us and how we made this very large...
Well, let's admit one thing, this isn't a wedding blog. However, when planning this beautiful wedding in Park City, UT last year, we read, relied on, perused, stalked (you get the picture) so many wedding blogs (for which we have the utmost respect and love for) that...
We are so excited to show-off our most recent project. A proper title can't be found for these two pieces (yes, we have two of these that are identical!). They could be nightstands, end tables, coffee tables, dog crates...I'm picturing the cutest Laguna Beach...
Many of our most inspired idea start at the antique swap meets around Southern CA. Our favorite (and the closest to Huntington Beach, CA) is the Long Beach Swap Meet. But on the day we started this project we were at the Rose Bowl Flea Market. We spotted this...
Recently our friend up and decided to move to Australia. We were like, what the what?!? It's all good though, he will be back (hopefully). He left behind a small 2 drawer nightstand-ish thing that was, in his eyes, not worth much. . . to us it was perfect! Since we...
Although we are often complimented on our creativity...it's time to come clean. Most of our ideas aren't so much "ideas" as us figuring out how to make something cheaper than we see it in a catalog. Enter the furry bench idea. At $329, this is the VivaTerra...
Usually we build up to the big reveal, this time, we want to show off from the start!Taking up this long hallway wall, we couldn't be more pleased with the way this gallery wall has turned out. Friends and family, strangers, pretty much everyone that sees it,...
Do you ever feel like NOT writing thank you cards? (Holy housewife gasp!) Well, sometimes it's just not that fun, alright? But these adorable (and easy) sewn thank you cards make us so excited we have to share. Our original inspiration came from...
At a recent shin-dig at 310 11th Street we realized that there was something different. Babies, babies, babies! They were everywhere! Inspired by the opportunity to create something functional, we immediately started scouring our nooks for the perfect place to...
In 2009 we were the hap, hap, happiest folks when we purchased these lockers at the LONG BEACH SWAP MEET. I think they were about $20...maybe $15...We were obsessed with the chippy paint, the original number details, and most of all the fact that they could hold all...
Fruit on the grill - yes please! This recipe has been a hit all summer and I am happy to share it. Ingredients: - Grill (Yes, you need a grill, or at least a grill pan, though I haven't tried that.) - Peaches, halved and pitted - Balsamic Vinegar - Brown Sugar -...
Why "Warehouse Collective"? What a daunting task to name a company, or blog, or ok, just a way to fill time. Some names seemed to belong on a smart business card "Tomorrow's Projects" while others were SO cutesy they invoked bows, emoticons, and all things glitter...
