Perhaps I created a few @facebookmarketplace monsters this weekend. Were you one of them? 🤣🤣🤣Whether I searched your city or not, I just had to show you that there ARE great things out there. Expand your radius. See the potential in old things. Scroll for longer than 2 minutes. And if that doesn’t help... please hold until I search your city 😂

Have you ever felt unsure/uncomfortable about a design decision that you ended up loving in the end?! .

Making the decision to paint this room black last year was uncomfortable at first, but it felt so good when I finished. It was the first “design risk” I ever took and I clearly haven’t looked back since. In fact, taking design risks is what 2019’s been all about, and I don’t regret a thing because it’s brought my true style to fruition. Excited to take even bigger risks in 2020 🤭

Today on my stories I’m talking about my struggle and solutions to dark/northern-facing rooms. This office is north-western facing, and of the 6 colors it’s been painted over the last two years, I love it best when it’s painted DARK (or that time it was a warm-off white for a hot second). I’m curious to hear what you’ve done with your dark/northern-facing rooms?!

Random thoughts that come to me in the shower: how would our house do if it was for sale? What would potential buyers think of the molding and paint colors? Would a couple, Nancy and Phil, come to our open house and say “ew, what did this girl do to this home?” I don’t think I’d ever want to sell our home to Nancy and Phil if they don’t appreciate this room. Anyway, shower thoughts.

A few months ago I shot @christinekohutinteriors last NJ project before she moved to CA and I love what she did in her clients home. The blue floor makes a bold statement in this otherwise neutral bathroom. Isn’t it gorgeous?!

I was thrilled when I noticed @joybird sofas came in my all-time-favorite color: forest green. Our living room walls are painted BM White Dove, so this pop of color in our space feels rich and bold. If you were to buy a sofa in any color - which color would you choose?! #joybird #sponsored #GFDmedia

How do you feel about buying secondhand chairs/sofas?! Are you OK with it or totally against it? This secondhand English roll arm chair has been serving as the perfect reading nook chair. I think some people feel weird about buying “used” upholstered seating, but as long as it’s not in horrible condition, there are ways to clean it (depending on the fabric). I removed a few stains on this chair with baking soda, upholstery cleaner, a vacuum and freshened up with some fabreeze. If you feel weird about it, you could always get something with “good bones” reupholstered! Just a thought 😉

Pretending to adjust hydrangeas but actually looking at the water I spilled and wondering if it would show up in the photo. It did 😂 I styled my office multiple ways for the photoshoot for a few reasons: 1. I like having a variety of photos to share 2. It takes a few tries for me to get a styled shot that I'm happy with. I shoot, review, adjust, and shoot again 3. I’m always switching things up in my house, so I figured why not have that be reflected in my photos? SO...how often are you re-styling your rooms/switching up decor in your home?

I love a good story. I like knowing the history, how it happened...basically, I need details. This commode was made in Paris by a man, Antoine, who was born in 1784. I can’t help but wonder where it’s been, and what Antoine would think if he knew where it was now - in a ‘millennial’s’ home and on the ‘internet.’ A concept I’m certain he’d have a hard time grasping 😂

I am nervous, anxious, humbled, grateful and most of all, ecstatic to reveal to you….MY OFFICE! Here she is, in all of her green, #grandmillennial glory.

I truly cannot say thank you enough for your encouragement throughout the last few weeks. The support I received over a room that I didn’t even show you blows my mind, but I hope this was worth the wait. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To make up for all that I’ve been keeping a secret, head to the link in my bio to check out the reveal post which includes plenty of photos, how much I saved by furnishing 75% of the room from @facebookmarketplace and more. While you’re there, let me know your favorite part of the room!

In honor of the office reveal being tomorrow, I had to share the master bedroom reveal from the spring @oneroomchallenge . Also, this photo and the office reveal photo look pretty cool next to one another, so I’ll just place this right here in my feed 😂 tomorrow, 9 am EST! in the meantime, have you seen the featured designer reveals?! They are all to die for!
