I must say when it comes to houses I can’t make up my mind. There are just too many styles I love. Too many color palettes I’m drawn to. Clean and white. Dark and moody. I just can’t decide! For instance, I’m all about an all marble bathroom. And yet I can also get along just fine with some hardwoods in the bathroom.

From Sitting Room to Bathing Room
I still remember when the call came through a couple years ago. A woman had seen this picture in an advertisement in Spaces Magazine: And it dawned on her that just as this bathroom in the ad was once the sleeping porch of an old Brookside home, so too could her Brookside sleeping porch become…
A Better Bathroom
I was telling a client the other day that we’ve never turned a generally unhappy person into a happy person with a beautiful remodel. But what we’re really good at is making happy people even happier. As was the case with these incredible Mission Hills clients. Authentically kind, always trusting and super complimentary at every…
WHITE HOUSE – BLUE CARPET
Once upon a time, John and I owned a condo near the Nelson Atkins Art Gallery. Little Annie spent a couple of her first years of life there until Quig came along with loud lungs and forced our family into a free-standing home out of the earshot of neighbors. Super thoughtful of us to move…
Spaces Magazine “Coming Home”
Wow, it’s been a long, long time since I last blogged. Yikes! Apparently having a third child and adopting a black lab adds quite a bit to your plate. And when said plate was already rather full, things get a little dicey. I feel like I’ve been in survival mode since early winter! But now…

You can read about the kitchen (below left) here and the mudroom (below right) here. Believe me, they’re worth your time!) But today, I wanted to share with you a…
The House on High
Ok, so today is the day I finally get to share pics of our new house! I’m referring to this project as the ‘House on High’ both as a nod to the street name and the simple fact that my husband and I both feel like we are living on a high as we dig into…
Lighting Steals and Deals
I happened upon an advertisement for a brass sconce this morning with a big fat price tag, and my first thought was, haven’t I seen that before?? But for like half the price? Being in this business, we’re often sifting through lighting selections that our clients have chosen and we see everything from dirt cheap deals of…
