I’m Jasmine Roth, founder of Built Custom Homes, curator of my online retail store The Shop by Jasmine Roth, and host of HGTV’s hit shows Hidden Potential and HELP! I Wrecked My House. I was also on HGTV’s Season 1 of Rock the Block, but I won’t spoil the winner for you 😉 Building custom homes is my bread and butter and I love finding ways to make homes as personal, functional and beautiful as possible. Whether I’m exploring my TV projects, or sharing secret pro tips for everything from design to entertaining and cooking, I’m here to help you build Your Happy Home. Let’s build something together!
When Anthony and Liz from Episode 4 of my HGTV show HELP! I Wrecked My House landed on a rustic industrial farmhouse design style for their renovation project, I was pretty excited. It's a look that's simple and streamlined, but has a lot of character at the same...
If you're like me, you like to kick off the New Year with a bunch of new projects on your to-do list. I love having a fresh slate, and the New Year offers so many opportunities to try something new or freshen something up. A lot of my projects involve DIY stuff I've...
I wanted to take a moment and wish all of you a very Happy New Year! It's hard for me to think that 2021 can be topped, because I filmed another season of HELP! I Wrecked My House with HGTV, I published my first book, and I made lots of wonderful memories with my...
This might look like a lovely piece of abstract artwork over the fireplace, but it’s so much more than that! If you remember Season 2 Episode 3 of my HGTV show HELP! I Wrecked My House, you might remember this project - we installed a TV behind the artwork and put...
Well everyone, happy Christmas Eve. The Holidays this year have brought a few things into crystal clear clarity for me and I thought I’d share. 1. Every family should have matching pajamas. Ha! Just kidding. But I grabbed these matching pajamas from Target and...
I've been traveling a lot this month (for a top-secret HGTV project!), so last minute gifts are a reality and a necessity for me this year. And for whomever is also buying last minute gifts this year and feeling some guilt about it, here's my two cents: a gift bought...
A much needed update! I was hanging with some of my mom friends this past weekend and they were like, “Jas, what happened to all the super helpful updates you posted when Hazel was younger? We have no idea what to buy!” So I couldn’t help but laugh and promise I...
I know, I know, you probably read this title and thought, "The kitchen drawer makeover that changed my life... seriously, Jas?" Like, how could a kitchen drawer makeover change my life? Well, if your drawers look like THESE, you might agree that it would be pretty...
If you're a parent and you're like me, you're still not done with your Christmas shopping. My mom friends and I have been texting each other a lot about gifts, and what I'm hearing is that they have no idea what to buy for both their own kids and their friends'...
I wanted to show you guys a few more corners of my happy Holiday House: the entryway, stairwell and main bedroom. Even though I've been traveling a lot for work this week, looking back and linking all these items has really kept me in the Christmas spirit. If you...

The room you'll never see in my house was finally shown for the first time when my new book, House Story, came out. That might sound like a riddle because I'm saying you'll never see it... but unless I tell you where and what it is you really won't. If you look in...
The holidays come and go so fast every year, especially when you're as busy as my family is. I love this time of year so much, I truly want to just enjoy my time with family and friends and not get caught up in any stress (if it can be avoided!). My secret holiday...
When you work in construction on an HGTV show about building houses, you get asked what your favorite tools are... a lot. I get it - there's nothing more frustrating than being in the middle of a project and realizing the tool you're using is the wrong one for what...
How about we take a little farmhouse style kitchen tour today? This kitchen project from HELP! I Wrecked My House Season 2 Episode 3 is a great example of how a space can change drastically without doing major demolition. We changed nothing with the main footprint...
It's officially the holiday season! And in our house, that means having (even more) people over to hang out and be together. We host family and friends pretty regularly at our house, but in the holiday season we really kick it up a notch if we can. I've been...
It's the most wonderful time of the year! Well… almost. It officially feels like the holiday season to me once Thanksgiving has come and gone, but this year I've started my gift shopping early. Why? I've been sitting on a lot of planes, doing a lot of traveling,...
It's easy to overlook our bedroom as needing much attention because it isn't a main thoroughfare in the home. Typically, we spend less time in our bedrooms than other parts of the home, so I can see why it wouldn't get the most love. But this is the place where we...
Open shelves: They're all the rage, but they can be intimidating to style. It seems easy enough until you actually start trying to put things on your shelves, and then you step back, look at what you did and say, "hmm, that's not how I imagined it." I get it! Over...
I've been looking back at Season 2 of HELP! I Wrecked My House and the kitchen projects we had, and the cabinet paint colors we used were some of my favorites. It took my team and I quite a bit of time to research and select the colors we wanted to use for each...
It's that time of year! At least... in my house, it is. I've been so busy on tour with my new book that I already started decorating for the holidays and winter because I don't know when else I'll be able to. So I've already been to all the stores, ordered all the...
It's been about one month since my very first book, House Story, officially hit shelves. I still can't believe it's out in the world and in so many of your homes! Grateful doesn't even begin to describe how I feel. What everyone buying this book is seeing are the...
It feels like I blinked, and a whole new season of HELP! I Wrecked My House came and went. Not only was it Season 2 of HIWMH, but the fourth full season I've done my own show with HGTV. That's a lot of completed house projects piling up! So I want to take some time...
If you watched Season 2 Episode 1 of my HGTV show HELP! I Wrecked My House, you know the kitchen we did in this house project was California Casual in design. The kitchen had white shaker cabinets, matte black light fixtures, and a huge kitchen island fronted with...
I've been on the road touring with my new book, House Story, and I've been missing my home a lot. But the one thing that's been so comforting - and surreal - to me over the past few weeks is seeing my own house staring back at me from airport newsstands. Months ago...
Season 2 of my HGTV show HELP! I Wrecked My House just finished airing, and we sure did a lot of kitchen projects this season. When you combine the seven kitchen projects we did this season with the kitchens from last season, plus two whole seasons of Hidden...

I've got fireplaces on the mind today. We don't get a lot of true "seasons" in Southern California, but since I've been on the road for my book tour, I've been thinking about fall and winter weather because the places I've been going to do have seasons. But whether...

Okay, so I get a LOT of questions about a very specific part of my HGTV show. The part that comes up over and over again in my DMs, is that 30-second clip where furniture gets moved in, curtains get hung, art goes up on the wall, and what usually takes us years to...

If you've watched either Season 1 or Season 2 of HGTV's competition show Rock the Block - or both! - you know that each design team really differed in style! And I mean, REALLY differed. From the 4 competitors in Season 1 (me, Mina Starsiak Hawk, Leanne Ford and...
One not-so-secret thing about me is that I LOVE a good thrift item. Or trash item. No, really... I pull things out of the trash all the time and put them in my home. Basically it comes down to this: I like older things that have a story to them, or a patina to them...
You've probably noticed that I've be writing a ton about backyard time, right? So last week when I took Hazel out to play in the yard, I grabbed a throw blanket for us to sit on and man, was it hot! Like wool and summer obviously are not BFFs. That got me to...

Mother's Day is swiftly approaching - it's May 9th - and if you're like me you're probably like, "oh shoot! It's early this year!" There are so many rockstar moms in my life, and I want to make them feel special. Motherhood is so amazing, as I've learned over the...
Some people might think accent walls are outdated (and if you're thinking of the ones from the 80s, I agree with you). But in my opinion, adding a splash of color to part of a room can be a pretty awesome design decision. So I'm all about a good accent wall... when...
I’m a t-shirt and jeans kinda gal through and through! Because I’m on a dusty, dirty, job site most days, this is the outfit staple that works best for me on a day-to-day basis. A couple of weeks ago I sent out an email with all my favorite jeans, and what do you...
We spent most of winter at our Tiny Mountain Home in Utah, and we were so grateful to have another place to escape to! A lot of people reached out on social and asked me a bunch of questions about having a home out-of-state… but the first step, of course, is actually...
It's time for another HGTV Secret Revealed, and this one is A GOOD ONE. And it's based on this question people ask me all the time about the homeowners whose homes we renovate on my HGTV shows: DO THEY KEEP THE FURNITURE? I mean, think about it! We redo their home...
To my Peanut Face, Hazel Bean, Cutest of the Cutes, Stinks, Minnow, Baby Baby, Littlest Baby, Chicken... Little Miss Roth... I can't believe you're already a year old. I know I've told you a thousand times, but the time has gone so fast. You should also know that...
“JASMINE, I DON’T LIKE RUGS IN MY HOUSE BECAUSE THEY NEVER STAY NICE!!” -- my clients yelling at me when I suggest rugs! You guys, it’s okay! I’ve got some things up my sleeve to help keep your rugs looking as fresh and beautiful as the day you brought them home...
Since having Hazel last year, I’ve been making a conscious effort to make more sustainable decisions. IDK what it is about having a baby, but it makes you think a LOT more about the world that they’ll grow up in… just me? Any other parents feel that way?! Anyways,...
Spring is HERE and I'm loving it! People ask me all the time what my favorite Spring paint colors are because, spoiler alert: I tend to use a lot of cheery colors in my designs. And cheery is synonymous with Spring! So if your home is feeling a little drab on the...
YOU GUYS, I WROTE A BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's still so surreal typing that out! I've been keeping this secret for a long time, but the cat's finally out of the bag! Yes, that's right - I wrote a home renovation book!!!!! This book - called House Story: Insider...
Some might think the gallery wall is dead, but I couldn't disagree more. A good gallery wall can add so much life and interest to a space! That said, I get it - hanging a gallery wall can feel a little intimidating. But don't fear: I've hung so many gallery walls...
If you're lucky enough to have a spare room in your home, or an extra bedroom, you might be overwhelmed by the possibilities of what to do with it! So, if you're thinking outside the box of just having it be a guest room, I'm here to help you get creative. Whether...
Are you the kind of person who orders a birthday cake from your favorite delicious bakery, OR the kind of person that whips one up from scratch? I’ve done both in the past, but for Hazel’s 1st birthday I decided I’m going all out and making the cake myself! And...
Okay, so for those of you who've been around for a while, you know that little Hazel learned to eat real solid food at 6 months. It's called "baby led weaning," and in my opinion, it's pretty cool! We got to skip the whole "baby food" and "purees" stage and go...
You can imagine, since I build a TON of houses, I get asked a lot about what my "favorites" are. And when you get into the groove of designing and building homes, you definitely figure out what works and looks great and what doesn't. Since you guys ask me all the...
19 days and counting (but who’s counting ??) to Hazel’s birthday! I don’t want to go overboard with the gifts, so I’m only going to get her a few! But DANG IT, I’ve seen a lot of cute stuff while browsing for her. I need help deciding because I rounded up some gift...
Okay, so I've been thinking back to some of my favorite projects I've ever done for HGTV, and I must say, I don't think I'll ever be able to name a "most favorite." But that actually got me thinking about my favorite hidden spaces from Hidden Potential, because,...
You guys, I know it's been forever since I did a Splurge vs. Save post (I got busy, okay?!), but today it's back! And it's a good one... Splurge vs. Save: Rugs. Hello, this is the age old debate of interior design - and maybe life? Do I splurge or save on a rug? ...
For those of you who have been around for a while, you might remember me mixing pea gravel in a wheelbarrow with some epoxy and making an awesome patio on HGTV. If you're new around here, and that sounds weird, let me explain. My clients wanted to add a patio to the...
What wine glass are you? No... really. Have you ever wondered what wine glass you are? YOU HAVEN'T?! If you're reading this like, "why do I need to know what wine glass I am?" I say, why not? It's FUN! Guys, I had so much fun making this quiz. Whether you're a...
Is it too early for me to start planning for Hazel’s birthday?! (It’s April 21st!) Now that we’re all in agreement that it’s definitely NOT too early to start planning, I thought I’d share some of the things I think would be SO cute for her (family-only) 1st...
If you watch my shows on HGTV you know - I wear a lot of jeans! Hello, I work in the construction biz, there are no slacks to be found in my closet, HA. And even when I'm not on TV, I wear jeans very regularly. It's just my style! And I'm sorry, Gen Z: I wear...
Okay, in no way are we the only family that meal preps - I get that. Also, I wouldn't even say we're the best at it - not even close! But with three hungry humans in and out of this house (yes, Hazel eats three meals a day!) having our meals figured out ahead of...
Spring is in the AIR, PEOPLE! Am I shouting? Okay, I'm sorry. I'm just really excited. I'm currently shopping around and finding my favorite home decor for Spring because, well, I was around snow all winter. Usually we spend a few winter weeks here and there in...
Laundry: no one likes doing it, but we all have to! I'm doing SO MUCH laundry these days I thought I'd share my best laundry tips with you guys (and honestly, see if you have any to share with me too). Whether I'm in the Tiny Mountain Home doing laundry in our tiny...
It's that time - when I answer your burning questions with (gasp!) THE TRUTH! It's time for another HGTV secret revealed! Okay, this is a good one because before I had a TV show, when I was an HGTV fan just like you (unless you're reading this and you have an HGTV...
Okay, so I fully recognize the happiness that Spring brings for most of y'all. I'll admit, we're a little (okay, a LOT) spoiled in Southern California being able to use our outdoor spaces 365 days a year, but you have to remember that I didn't grow up in Southern...
Flooring is something that can feel so intimidating to choose for your home. It needs to go with EVERYTHING - paint, design style, trim, architectural style - while serving your space's needs at the same time. That's a tall order! Now, before you throw in the...
You guys, I'm not even joking - I've gotten so into coming up with Hazel's Easter basket ideas that I went a little overboard. Alright, let me back up a sec: it's her first Easter (she was born April 21, which was after Easter last year). And I just LOVE celebrating...
I've been reminiscing about all of my favorite Dutch doors from Hidden Potential. Why, you ask? Well, Spring is around the corner and warmer weather makes me think of a cute Dutch door with the top part open wide to let in the fresh air. I mean, if you had the...
Well, I guess I know what all those funny baby shower cards meant when they said, "Hope you enjoy every minute of your new baby - lord knows you'll be awake for it!" When they say you don't sleep when you become a parent, it's true on many different levels. Now that...
You guys, I just couldn't help myself online shopping the other day while trying to find Hazel the cutest baby outfits for spring! I mean, she IS a spring baby after all - she was born April 21st. While she's been getting plenty of winter weather in Utah, we...
Nobody in the history of the world is like, "Oh my goodness, I'm so excited to get pregnant, I just can't wait to pump!" In my opinion, pumping is one of those things that NOBODY talks about and trust me, I totally understand why. Let me be clear - there's NOTHING...
It's almost springtime, so I definitely have my favorite low-maintenance plants on the brain! If you're like me, you feel like the key to success with landscaping is low maintenance. Okay that, and it has to look GREAT. Through the years I've planted SO MANY PLANTS...
Curb appeal! It's something a surprising amount of people overlook with their homes, but it couldn't be more important. Your home's curb appeal is the first shot you have at showing off your style and personality - so why wouldn't you take the time to think it...
You guys want a little look behind the scenes of my Design Star episode?! I had so much fun being a guest judge on HGTV's Design Star: Next Gen, and even more fun watching it all back last week. I wanted to share some BTS photos with you from that episode - did you...
Okay, okay, let me set the record straight: I did NOT move to Utah! The day after Christmas Brett, Hazel, my mom and I packed up the car and drove to the Tiny Mountain Home, and we’ve been here ever since. A lot of you have been watching our experiences on social -...
Okay, as you guys know I'm SUPER EXCITED to finish work today. And for those of you who don't know why I’m excited, HERE'S WHY!!! One word… POPCORN. JK, jk, just kiddinggggg. It's actually because Design Star: Next Gen is BACK ON HGTV tonight at 9:00PM ET|PT with...
It's not too early to start thinking about Spring Cleaning, in my opinion! If you want to go off the actual start of Spring, that's March 20, but there are a handful of things I like to get a jump on before actual Spring Cleaning starts. Why? Because that way it's...
I've had small-space laundry room must-haves on the brain lately, and there's a reason for that. I've been spending a lot of time up at the Tiny Mountain Home in Utah this winter, and when I say "tiny," I mean tiny. This home is 643 square feet, and I've been...
If you're trying to find the best headboard for your bedroom, but don't know where to start, fear not! Yes, I've made another one of these fun quizzes! Picking the best headboard for your bed isn't always the easiest thing to do. There are a lot to choose from, and...
Okay, that's a racy subject for a less scandalous story, but in case you were wondering, the guy I lived with before I was married is BRETT!! If you're signed up to get my emails you've already heard this story (but if you aren't and you want to hear cool stuff...
I don't know about you guys, but I went from being someone who never worked from home to someone who now has a lineup of favorite work-from-home outfits. When the pandemic first hit, I was a little caught off-guard, to say the least, because I'm used to leaving home...
Ever since Season 1 of Help! I Wrecked My House aired, I've gotten a ton of questions from you about how not to wreck your homes. And I mean TONS of questions. I get asked so many house questions that I decided to do an Instagram Live (I've done two now!) to open up...
Pulling off a living room remodel - even if you're just moving furniture around - isn't always the walk in the park it seems to be when compared to remodeling other rooms. After all, this is the space where the whole family hangs out! No pressure or anything! I've...
Okay guys, I'm not really a Valentine's person, but for some reason this year I'm actually into Valentine's Day gifts and decor. Maybe it's because I'm a mom now and I love celebrating even the smallest things with Hazel. And let's be honest: in a pandemic, little...
You guys might not realize this because I'm on TV, but most of the things in my closet are clothes that are under $30. I'm serious! If you see me on HELP! I Wrecked My House or Hidden Potential on HGTV, chances are I'm wearing something from Target or Madewell. ...

If you're looking for wallpaper ideas but don't know where to start, I feel you - it's hard! There are so many wallpaper styles out there that it can be downright dizzying trying to find the best one for your personality and your home. It's also a little...
If you're looking around your house and are in desperate need of some kitchen update ideas, but don't want to or can't do a full renovation, I got you. The kitchen is one of those rooms that feels like a ton of money needs to be spent - or a ton of stuff needs to be...
When you have a baby, there's usually a lot of fuss and stress about weight loss after pregnancy, how to lose the baby weight, or how to get your body "back." And I'll be honest, on social media I've gotten a lot of questions about how I managed my weight loss after...
If you're looking for loft decor ideas, let me tell you: I've run through them all with the upstairs loft at the 11th Street Retreat. This flex space on our third floor has a wet bar and a bathroom, and it's been a sitting area, a game room, an impromptu office, and...
When I was coming up with guest bedroom design ideas for the 11th Street Retreat, I think it's safe to say I really went for it with some fun concepts. You see, this whole wing on the second floor of this home required a lot of strategy - not just in a decor sense. ...
The world of main bedroom and bathroom design ideas is vast, so I was admittedly daunted when it came time to design my own main bedroom and bathroom at the 11th Street Retreat. If you've been following along on our house tour, we've now made it upstairs to the...
When it comes to designing functional, hidden spaces, anybody who's seen Hidden Potential or HELP! I Wrecked My House knows that hidden spaces are my JAM. If you're sitting on your own hidden space ideas but need to see them in someone else's house, look no further...
When I'm thinking of kitchen design ideas, or living room design ideas - or even dining area design ideas - I can't help but think back to my very first construction project. The 11th Street Retreat is the first house I ever built, and it presented my first...
If you're looking for outdoor design and decor ideas, I'd say my first Huntington Beach, CA house is the blueprint for designs you've seen on my HGTV shows. Why is this house, the 11th Street Retreat, so influential in my design career, you ask? The...
Before I became a mom, I never imagined myself being obsessed with baby swim gear and accessories. But now baby swim classes are routine with Hazel! I'm not sure if loving the water is something you're born with, but Hazel has loved the water since day 1, so it sure...
YOU GUYS!!!!! THE SECRET'S OUT... HELP! I Wrecked My House is coming back for Season 2!!!! Tell everyone you know! There's not a whole lot I can reveal yet, but I can tell you that we're casting now. Do you think your home could be on HGTV?! I had such an amazing...
When it comes to finding kitchen backsplash ideas, it can feel a little overwhelming! There are so many different backsplash tile options out there, how do you actually choose the perfect backsplash for your home? Well, I kinda have this thing down to a science! ...
Today I'm sharing with you guys Hazel's favorite 8-month-old activities, because I bet I'm not the only one out there trying to keep my increasingly-busy baby occupied! If you're like me, you probably thought that babies were just little blobs that cooed and pooped...

I know a lot of people change up home decor in the New Year, or at least try out some new styling moments around the house. I think that makes a lot of sense! Moving stuff around and styling decor differently - even just one spot like a bookshelf or coffee table -...
You guys, I have to know - have you seen my baby snowboard yet?!? So, if you’re not on social media (follow me on Instagram or Facebook), you might be like, “Wait, Jas, Hazel is only 8 months old, she can’t even crawl yet, let alone walk - no way can she snowboard!”...
There are some things in home decor and design that can feel tricky, but I promise you: it's not rocket science. In fact, home decor is always elevated by good choices made around focal points in your home - you just have to know the foolproof tricks! So, I wasn't...

You guys, we're in escrow on my house in Huntington Beach, dubbed the #11thStreetRetreat, and I'm a little sentimental about it. Okay, I'm a LOT sentimental about it. It was the first project we ever did! And while I kept on my business hat when it came time to list...
We all could use some mood-boosters right now! Because listen, I think we can all agree that 2020 was pretty much the worst, right? I know good things happened for people in 2020 too, of course (hello, Hazel was born in 2020!), but it was also very difficult for...
I'm going to be honest, I used to dread taking down holiday decor. It's so exciting to put it all up, but once the holidays are over, it feels kinda sad. Plus, it always feels like it takes longer to put away than it does to get out. Why is that?! Anyways, a few years...
Maybe it's because what I do for work is filmed on TV, but I get a LOT of questions about my work outfits. Like... a lot. And to be fair, my work outfits are pretty casual because I'm either filming with HGTV on a jobsite or working in my Warehouse. So truthfully, my...
Now that the holiday dust has settled, the gifts are all unwrapped, and your Christmas tree is suddenly starting to feel out of place (okay maybe not quite yet), you're probably eyeing those holiday gift cards you got and thinking about what to buy. Hey, at least I...
If you're lucky enough to be on a holiday break right now, good for you! I'm trying to be on one myself, but anyone who knows me well, knows I can't really stay still for too long. It's just not how I operate! So, if you're like me and looking for a project during...

Okay, so first things first, if you follow my social you already know that I just made Hazel an Instagram account. For some of you, this might seem totally normal, but for me it's a big deal! I never in a million years thought I would build an account for Hazel, but...
Okay, giving gifts can be tough. If you're anything like me, you like to put some thought into your best gifts and make them really personal. So, here are some of my favorite gifts that I've either made or bought for my family over the years. Maybe they'll work for...
If you've ever wanted to update your home, I know it can feel a little intimidating. Hello, most of my clients on Help! I Wrecked My House Season 1 started to fix their homes, freaked out, and became frozen in indecisiveness. I get that (believe me, I do!), but if you...
There was one thing I did when listing the #11thStreetRetreat that might surprise you. And yes, it was right out of my Rock the Block playbook. Well, if I’m being honest, I’ve always done this with the real estate I sell - but it was front-of-mind because of Rock the...
Everybody's saying it: shop small. So many small businesses are struggling as the pandemic continues, and they need all the help they can get. While I'm a sucker for a good Target or Amazon find, I've always, ALWAYS been about finding things from small businesses,...

Is anyone else finding the CUTEST holiday gifts on Etsy?! Especially if you're like me and on the lookout for holiday gifts that you can buy from small businesses. Remember how pumped I was for Small Business Saturday? Well, I'm keepin' that enthusiasm going beyond...
The secret's out: I'm selling my house. Truth be told, I'm excited about it, but also a little bit sappy! Excited because I get to pass this amazing home onto someone else, and sappy because this is the first project I ever did! My heart and soul went into this house....
Since I couldn't have my annual chili cook-off this year due to COVID, I was having major chili withdrawals! Hosting the cook-off is something I look forward to every year, so I still wanted to whip up a big batch of my own chili this year - cook-off or no cook-off. I...
Can you believe it's already that time to bring out the festive doormat? It's no secret that I'm a big fan of curb appeal. It's so important to have your front door be pleasing to the eye, because it's the first thing your house says about you and your style! And I...

Here in Huntington Beach, California, you may not see many moms scrambling to buy baby outfits for winter, since it obviously doesn't get as cold in the wintertime as it does in other parts of the world. But hey, we still bundle up because our blood has thinned out,...
Everyone always makes a big deal about Black Friday every year, but I must admit, I've always been a Small Business Saturday kinda gal. (Which, P.S. it's November 28th this year!) And I get it: sales are always helpful to the budget... especially during the holidays!...
Who would have thought I'd be reaching out to a baby sleep consultant? But, let’s be honest, if baby isn’t sleeping, nobody’s sleeping. So after reading and sorta implementing the plan in this book we were so pleased that around 3 months, Hazel was only waking up once...
As many of you know, I recently moved and put the house I moved from up for rent on Airbnb. Since Brett and I knew we were going to rent out our previous house, we didn't want to move most of the furniture and decor to the new house (so it could be furnished for our...
I'm sure you're dying to hear: did I get along with my fellow contestants (or "castmates") on HGTV's Rock the Block?! You guys, let's be real, I get along with everyone. Ha! Sorry to burst your bubble, but working on Season 1 of Rock the Block was one of the best...
Baby Hazel is growing up (so quickly you guys, I can't even believe it!) and that means lots of new baby gear. Here are her favorite things that are helping us get through everything that having a 6-month-old baby brings. So many changes! In case you missed it, I...
Using removable wallpaper is one of my favorite ways to add some personality to a space. Before you think, "I don't know, Jas, wallpaper is a big, expensive undertaking - isn't it?" let me stop you right there. Yes: wallpapering a whole room could get expensive,...
So a little while ago, I posted this photo of a pretty little stairwell on Instagram, and you guys had a LOT of questions about it. This staircase is located on the main floor of my #11thStreetRetreat (which is my house that I'm renting out on Airbnb!), and when I...
If there's one thing I LOVE doing, it's being stuck in the laundry room running loads. NOT. Haha! Seriously... is there anyone out there who enjoys doing laundry? I didn't think so. Lately, Brett and I have been doing more laundry than ever before because Hazel just...
Well, just like that my little baby's eating food. And when I say "eating," I actually mean smearing it all over her face and my kitchen. But it's all good because watching this little girl eat and learn fills my heart in a way I didn't know was possible. Even when...
There's a reason I tend to score the best vintage finds. It's because one of my most tried-and-true design tips is actually pretty simple: Always add something vintage. Adding something old and timeworn to a space really grounds the room and adds a layer of interest...
There are so many things I'm proud of from my newest show, Help! I Wrecked My House, that it's kinda hard to really narrow down just one favorite. Apart from actual rooms from Help! that we demo'd, fixed and designed, I'm really proud of myself for working all...
If you're like me, you're probably thinking, "Well, looks like we're definitely wearing face masks for longer than I expected." And since I just want to keep working, and stay safe and keep my family safe, I'm just leaning into it and trying to make this mask thing...
I don't know if you saw, but I was on the TODAY Show yesterday! It's a whole new world of TV in a pandemic, people - that's me (and Hazel!) above being filmed live on a PHONE. It's wild how the live TV world figured out how to make all this work in these times. My...

Well, I think it's safe to say that there isn't a mom in the history of moms that thinks to herself, "I just really hope my precious little baby has to wear a hard plastic helmet on her head for 23 hours a day." So yeah, you can imagine my chagrin when Hazel was 4...
