When designing these two spaces, I wanted to connect them visually but still create their own personality. For the laundry room transformation into a bar/mudroom, I used the same wallpaper I’d employed on the kitchen ceiling but in a darker blue, and the trim / cabinet color is the same as the kitchen cabinet just several shades deeper!

I was just featured in this article weighing in on what will boost your home value this year. Read on! Thank you for including me, Shelby Deering.

Although curb appeal is still important, it’s what’s inside that really counts.

Now, to me, analog spaces aren’t “trendy,” but wanting them in your house seems to be having a moment. We’re all feeling the burn and looking for a little at-home escapism, to melt into a really hard two thousand piece puzzle of cats incorporated into ancient Roman architecture (not me though. I had that puzzle and nearly threw it at the wall. Let me know if you want it, because I’m surely not finishing it ever. Ever.). Do you have a space like this in your house, or are you ready for one?

My crooked belt is a paid actor. Oops. Want to know why I chose each rating for these kitchen trends? Read on:

* Paneled refrigerator - can be annoying to guests who wonder where your darn fridge is, but it is nice to disappear a giant appliance.

* Mixing metal finishes - You don’t have to be all matchy matchy with everything. Your faucet finish can be different from your drawer pulls and from your sconces. Be considered, but be free!

* Layering lights - the right combination of sconces, lamps, pendants, recessed lighting can give you the perfect mix of cozy vibes and task illumination.

* Open shelving - if used for plants, cookbooks and everyday kitchenware, it’s always practical and never a mere dust trap. But know thyself.

* Wallpaper in a kitchen - perfect touch to add texture, color, pattern or a mix of all three for unique charm.

* Gas cooktop - pollutes your house whether on or off? Inconsistent heat? Challenging to clean? No thanks.

* Induction cooktop - amazingly efficient with immaculate levels of control. And no, unless your pans are copper or aluminum, you don’t need all new cookery.

* Matching countertop and backsplash - great if not done in a trendy way that will stamp your kitchen in 2026.

* Hanging art in a kitchen - why leave your boxy stovetop hood blank when you can hang art there? If you’re worried about grease just ensure it’s framed in glass. I’m all about art anywhere you can place it.

* Statement marble - so beautiful but not for folks afraid of maintenance, stains, or etching.

* All-white kitchen - mostly a yawn, and not really that timeless unless executed with the right combination of elements. The biggest mistake? Mixing warm and cool whites unintentionally. *shudder*

Thanks to .co for filming and to Seattle for letting me shoot in their beautiful showroom.

When they’d brought me in, my clients had an 18 month old and spent a lot of time entertaining their friends and PEPS groups, so they needed ample seating but also wanted a cozy space to snuggle and read to their son. Challenge accepted! After completing this project over seven years ago, my clients invited me back for another round of projects. I was delighted to discover that the spaces I’d designed were virtually unchanged. How? By delivering durable, quality materials, meeting very specific needs, and layering timeless elements throughout. Conclusion: You don’t have to “wait till the kids are older” to have the room of your dreams.

When my clients came to me over seven years ago, they had a busy 18-month old and entertained their mom groups often, so they asked for a lot of seating in the living room. We delivered. Yesterday, I returned to their house to start the new phase of design projects with them and discovered that the space is pretty much unchanged from the last time I was there. The secret? Delivering quality, durable materials, meeting functionality needs, and using timeless, layered elements. The lesson? You don’t have to “wait till the kids are older” to have the space you’ve always dreamed of.

I have a design recipe that includes 5 ingredients. Something old, something new, something that makes you smile, something alive, and something handmade. This little design moment in my client's family room includes all five. Can you figure out which is which? Hint: the plant is the something alive. ;)

House plants are an essential element of home decor, in my book, and one of my favorite places to go because of their amazing selection is Swanson’s Nursery. I love that their staff is so friendly and knowledgeable too. In addition to the four new plants I bought for inside, I found a hardy yuzu plant for my front yard. I never knew you could have outdoor citrus plants here! They told me how to plant it and what to do if it gets cold before it’s fully established. I’m so excited for all my new finds — I just need to make sure I get them in their new homes before the weekend is up!
