“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...

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? ...
