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!
If you'd told me I'd be eating 3 meals a day with my 8-month-old baby (plus feeding her a 4 bottles a day) I wouldn't have believed you! But alas, here we are, and I can't wait to share all the details and answer all your questions about Hazel's 6-9 month feeding...
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 -...
I was looking back through my sourcebooks from Season 1 of Help! I Wrecked My House, and aside from the common theme of each episode being about someone who needed serious help with their house, I realized there was another standout: EPIC light fixtures. Every single...
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! Exciting news - you can now watch my HGTV shows on discovery+! Yes, that means you can stream Help! I Wrecked My House, Seasons 1 and 2 of Hidden Potential, Season 1 of Rock the Block and Season 1 of A Very Brady Renovation on discovery+ now! You can also...
A lot of people ask me: "How did you get your HGTV show?" And wow - what a big question this is! There's a short answer and a long answer and they're both the same. Short answer: a ton of work and a little luck. Long answer: Let me tell you about a lot of work and a...
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...
Living in California, finding amazing coastal decor pieces has become a huge hobby of mine. And I don't know about you guys, but I like to use the New Year to kind of shake things up a bit in my decor around the house. Chances are, when you take down your holiday...
I hope you guys are ready for this cookie recipe! Because if you missed it, from December 1st to 12th, I did a fun holiday giveaway thing for everyone who's signed up for my emails. It was called the 12 Days of Jasmine, and I don't even want to talk about how funny...
Hey guys! Popping in real quick with some more gift ideas! I know Hanukkah has ended and Christmas is less than a week away (how did that happen?!), but I thought of some more favorite gifts, and I wanted to share them in case you still need ideas. Personally, I like...
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,...
My halls are officially decked for the holidays at the Roth Holiday House Homestead! It was so fun decorating our new house for Christmas, because this is the first Christmas we'll spend in this home and the first one we'll share with Hazel (I won't cry if you...
Did somebody say WINE?! One of my favorite things to do in my design projects is answer a need from my clients while staying within budget and creating a unique feature - all at once! Take this awesome DIY wine storage for example: When I was designing this space on...
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...
THE RUMORS ARE TRUE - I'm selling my house! I thought you should hear it from me first - the #11thStreetRetreat is on the market. That's right, OUR HOUSE IS FOR SALE! It all happened so fast, I can barely even believe it myself. [gallery columns="2" size="large"...
If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen that I did a live Q&A a few weeks ago. In the spirit of my show Help! I Wrecked My House, I hopped on that Instagram live to answer some of the most-asked house questions from you guys about your OWN homes. I get...
YOU GUYS!!!! I have something so exciting to share with you! The holidays are some of my favorite times of the year, and I’m so very thankful for all of you (duh!). You guys have cheered me on, read my emails and blog posts, supported my shop, watched my shows, sent...
I've been getting so many messages from you all that you LOVE this Splurge vs. Save series that I've been doing - and I'm so glad! And since we have the holidays coming up quickly, I wanted to do a Splurge vs. Save edition of holiday gifts! You don't have to spend a...
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...
Lighting and hardware always sound like really expensive things to buy for your home... but they don't have to be. No, really! It's true. If you shop around and do your research, you can find a very similar look to a "splurge" version you see for a fraction of the...
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...
You guys!!! I'm still on Cloud 9 with all the love from my show Help! I Wrecked My House. And even though we wrapped the season on Saturday, my DMs and comments and emails and everything else you can reach me on are still overflowing with how much you all watched,...
Whenever I'm designing a home for a family with dogs, I always love to build them an ultimate dog space! And ever since I started renting out the #11thStreetRetreat on airbnb, I've been so excited thinking about the renters who will get to see all the cool, custom...
Martine and Scott have been best friends their whole lives since they were six years old, and then they got married. A fairytale, right? But instead of having a big wedding, they decided to buy their first home together, so they started house shopping. They fell in...
Jeremy is definitely what I’d consider to be a “very handy” homeowner – someone who could probably do more DIY home renovation stuff than average. He renovated their living room himself and he did a great job. And actually, upon walking into Jeremy and Andrea’s...
I don't know if you’ve noticed... but HGTV has been re-airing all my Hidden Potential episodes! Since COVID, our production has been shut down, so I actually had some extra time and rewatched a bunch of episodes. HGTV filmed my thoughts while I watched. It's...
Sara and Chris bought this home as a turning point in their relationship so they’d have a place where they could live and spend time together. They were excited for it to become their sanctuary where they’d come home from work every day, share time together and just...
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...
SOS! Someone come pull me out of the deep, deep rabbit hole of looking for your child’s first Halloween costume! This is like the whole “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” thing... only I've metaphorically fallen into a trap of clicking through page after page of...
If you're signed up for my email list (that's where I release a lot of news before I post it anywhere else!), you saw that my daughter, Hazel, needed to get a helmet. If you aren't signed up or hadn't heard the news on my Instagram, I wanted to fill you all in here...
How many of you have that one neighbor who goes ALL OUT decorating for their fall front porch? Or are you that neighbor? Well, I don’t know about you guys, but I'm finally starting to get into the fall spirit. Somehow the air is a little crisper, the pumpkin spice...
Just seven months before I showed up to help, Ozzie and Lauren had purchased this home and were ready to move in. But not before they reworked their massive backyard, laid flooring in their dining room, and renovated their kitchen – all of this they planned to do on...
I'm so excited to share this photo wall with you guys! One reason is because it's so PRETTY, and the second reason is, well, it's so pretty because of YOU GUYS! When I had the idea for the Photo Wall Contest for the 11th Street Retreat (aka my house in Huntington...
So I know you guys love every time I drop a new HGTV Secret on you, and today I've got one about my new show! Well, the running joke while filming the new show Help! I Wrecked My House was, "Hey Jas, not sure but I think you might be pregnant." Ha! This joke was funny...
When Jess and Rich bought this place, they thought it would be their dream home – all they had to do were some projects to spruce it up. Their big plans to fix up what they thought would be their “forever home” ...
If any of you used to watch Brady Bunch, you know it has all the retro decor vibes. Not to mention, I've been strollin' down memory lane all week since A Very Brady Renovation was nominated for an Emmy Award. This was such a cool project to work on, I still can't...
Okay you guys, in case you didn’t hear, one of my shows from working on the Brady Bunch house was nominated for an Emmy award! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! A Very Brady Renovation was one of those opportunities that came completely out of left field, was a zero hesitation...
YOU GUYS. The day is finally here! My BRAND NEW SHOW, "Help! I Wrecked My House" premieres tonight on HGTV! AHHHH! Sorry for all the caps but I'm really, really excited. I want you to tune in with me (I live Tweet every episode of my shows!), so set your DVR, tell...
Oh my GOODNESS, you guys! I can't believe how awesome all of your beach photos are! Earlier this week we finished our photo contest for the 11th Street Retreat - my house that I'm renting out on Airbnb - and I've had so much fun going through ALL of these super...
Okay you guys - I have a brand new HGTV Secret for you. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to host an HGTV show? Well, until I got my own show on HGTV I wondered too! So for those of you that haven't seen me on HGTV (you can watch here - come on now!), my...
This year for our 7th (!!) wedding anniversary, Brett and I decided to reminisce on our First Look and how each of us remember it. If you're subscribed to my email list, you found out what Brett thought of it! How I Remember Our First Look Looking back, I never...
What can I say, I do love Fall, and I love home decor, so give me fall decor, and I'll go wild. Like, I really, REALLY love home decor. It's kind of a problem. Anyway, I'll take any excuse to freshen up my home decor, and the change of seasons is a pretty good excuse....
You guys, out of every SINGLE photo I've pinned to Pinterest from my projects, there is one that is by far my most viral photo. Like, by a landslide. It went "viral" on Pinterest, getting 605,951 impressions, 17,116 close-ups and 3,530 repins. And it's this photo of...
In case you missed it, yesterday I announced that I'll be renting out my old house on Airbnb! One of my favorite design moments in this house is this epic photo wall I made in the hallway outside the primary bedroom. It was one of the first projects I ever did back...
We put our house on Airbnb!! This is it - it's happening! Brett and I are renting out our house and we're calling it... wait for it... The 11th Street Retreat. (#11thStreetRetreat) What do you think of the name? I actually came up with it myself and I'm usually pretty...
Finally spilling with you all the best blue paint colors! Because if you've been following along, it's not much of a secret that I LOVE using blue tones in my projects. Living in Huntington Beach, CA, I'm definitely inspired by the beach and that comes through in my...
Who knew finding the cutest baby headbands would bring me SO much joy!? But seriously, I never realized how fun it would be to dress a tiny human. And I'm also surprised by how much I love dressing Hazel in headwear. Whether it's a giant bow, or a little bow, or a...
I'm gonna let you in on a little secret: I use a LOT of fake plants. Like, seriously, a lot. If you're sitting there watching my show Hidden Potential, or even Rock the Block, and you see a plant, chances are... it's fake. But I don't just use fake plants for styling...
One of the most popular photos out of all of the projects I’ve done on both seasons of Hidden Potential is this beautiful photo (above) of my DIY house number. That’s right - you guys really love house numbers, I guess! And so many fans and readers of my blog will...
Alright guys, I need to let you all know about all my coffee bar faves that have been getting me through the days! Because I don’t know about you guys, but on day 120-something (I think we all stopped counting!) of quarantine, our at-home coffee game is STRONG. And...
I know since you guys follow me you can appreciate this list of my favorite baby products that are ACTUALLY cute. Because let's be real: some baby products, while super helpful, aren't the...
Okay guys, you all are ALWAYS asking me for my favorite kitchen organization ideas. Because let's be honest, is there anything better than a REALLY well organized kitchen?! Okay, I'm sure there might be better things, but this is pretty high on my list of "things that...
As some of you know, Brett, Hazel and I just moved into our new house, and it was a pretty stress-free experience (as far as moving goes) because of some tricks we did along the way. So to help you all (and to remember for myself!), I wanted to put together a list of...
Well, in all fairness, I've been tested for COVID-19 twice. The first time was 3 days before my follow-up surgery from Hazel's birth. That was back at the beginning of June and it was mandatory to be tested prior to entering the surgery center. But the most recent...
I have a new HGTV show airing September 12th!!!!! So set your DVRs! Set your phone reminders! Mark your calendars! OMG you guys I am so excited. The cat's outta the bag - it's finally public knowledge that I have a new HGTV show! I've been working so hard (and while...
Okay guys, get ready for some work-from-home hacks that, if you're like me, you might be in desperate need of right now. Because it looks like these "temporary" work-from-home office setups we have in our homes might not be so temporary after all. With COVID-19 still...
That's right, you just got the news: your house didn't get picked to be on HGTV. But why?! I get asked all the time what it would take to get a house on an HGTV show and the answer might surprise you. Shop This Look What...
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...
Happy Friday, you guys! I am here to let you know that a brand new Sourcebook is now available for Episode 5 of Hidden Potential! SEASON 2 EPISODE 5 SOURCEBOOK Here's a little preview of what to expect:
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...
A brand new Sourcebook is now available for Episode 4 of Hidden Potential! That's right - all the goodies on the inspiration, homeowners, exterior and interior of the design, in one place! Plus, you can take a page right out of the design book by shopping the look...
Dear Reader, I'd like you to meet my good friend, Falsa. "Who is this Falsa guy?" you might be wondering. "I've never heard of him before." WELL. He also goes by the names Serape or Saltillo, but I've...
This month at The Shop by Jasmine Roth, I’m really feeling the off-white organics vibe. There are lots of warm textures and unique details mingling in the New Arrivals section of the site right now. If you stop by, you might just hit it off with one of our dreamy new...
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...
For the Season 2 premier of my HGTV show Hidden Potential, I used all my favorite, tried and true items from my online shop to make sure the house felt extra special. Ladders, standing planters, and baskets, galore! Check out the items below and cruise by my online...
Hey there! Since we’re talking about the very first episode of Season 2 of Hidden Potential on HGTV, you might need a little refresher, in which case you can watch it on iTunes HERE and on Amazon HERE. Also, you should absolutely read the Season 2, Episode 1 - Welcome...
Welcome, welcome to Season 2 of my HGTV series, Hidden Potential!!! I am SO excited for you to join me this season as we take SEVENTEEN cookie cutter houses and remodel them into well-curated, totally custom dream homes. For each episode, there will be a coordinating...
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...
What is it about a well considered design vignette that just feels so right? Vignettes are the little ditties of the design world: quick, catchy, and sure to lift your spirits. They tell a story without saying a word. After checking out a few of my current faves from...
On most holidays, my family and I are more likely to exchange books than anything else. This Father’s Day, instead of posting a standard Gift Guide, I thought I’d share some of my favorite reads about the relationship between father and child, which (in my family, at...
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...
Q: When can I watch? A: Monday nights, at 9:00 PM (8:00 PM Central) starting June 3. Q: What is new this season? A: Well, aside from everything being bigger and better than ever before, the format is also different. HGTV will be airing BACK-TO-BACK episodes of Hidden...

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...

When I'm not working, I like to go to the beach. It's such a simple, timeless pleasure that I have enjoyed ever since my days visiting my cousins on the Jersey Shore, or taking "pile into the van" family trips to the Outer Banks. Now, with the beach just a few short...

This episode started out with me at home, getting ready for the day, and feeding my bulldog, Nala, her breakfast. I think Nala is a PERFECT intro to this episode since she’s an extremely weird dog, and this family really touched me with their amazing mantra of, “Have...

It was the fifth day of my Habit for Humanity Global Village build in Bangalore City, India (See Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, and Day 4) and a beautiful morning outside of our hotel. This part of India does get very hot, but at the time I was there in August, it was perfect...

First of all, we are so blessed. We work, live, play in what is (in our humble opinion) the most beautiful place in the world. It's not just the weather (perfect), the preserved coastline and sandy beaches, the fact that there are no bugs, the zero humidity, or the...

It seems that so many of our stories (or in this case, blog posts) start with, "well, we pulled this out of the trash" or "yeah, we picked that up at the swap meet last year". Which got us to thinking... Do we brake for yardsales? Hell yeah! Do we troll craigslist...
Is it just us, or is a recipe you get from your friend better than one you might read in a magazine or see on a flashy pinterest board? We think so! No doubt, the age of sharing recipes is rapidly drawing to an end. Gone are the days in which we longingly think...
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...

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...

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...
