#SpringIntoHome Tour: Centered By Design

it's friday and that means another #springintohome tour with our fab group of ladies! this week it's a 1940s renovated bungalow in chicago. i've only been to chicago once but i LOVED it. such a cool city! claire and her husband have done a ton of work renovating the first floor of their home and are in the process of tackling the second floor now. so without further ado, here's the home of claire staszak of centered by design.


how great is this peacock wallpaper in the entry with that black door?


the wood floor in the kitchen was hiding under three layers of linoleum!! who ever covered that up?! i love the black lowers and brass hardware.


in the living room they added the built ins and recovered vintage chairs and a sofa and combined them with a fresh new rug and coffee table. this electric mix is totally working!


the marled drapes were made by loom decor and came out great. (i had drapes made for my parents' bedroom from loom decor and they are perfect!) the mix of vintage and new continues in this room and is set off by that pretty arched doorway.


the guest room has become their bedroom while they are renovating upstairs. the headboard had me at first glimpse!


claire's office is the epitome of organization. goals people, goals. i love that giant burlap pinboard!


and finally, how adorable is this mudroom?! the white brick and cement look-alike tiles (they're actually ceramic!) are perfect.



head over to claire's blog to see her entire post and even more photos of her cute home! also don't forget to check out the rest of the participants and have a great weekend :)

Funky Art

whew we had a great weekend! spent lots of time with lots of friends and let the kids stay up way too late. our last hurrah for vacation week! back to the grind today which is always pretty fun too. i'm doing part 2 of my #springintohome photoshoot tomorrow so there's always a crazy final push to get everything done. 😬

today i thought i'd share some funky art finds that you might not come across every day.

these tape prints brought me right back to childhood and i think my first tape was whitney and i looooved it. i can see these in a pre-teen (is that tween?!) or teenager room, especially in oversized format.


also loving these black and white abstracts and what's so great is that they can really go with so many styles of design. i see them working with traditional, modern, and even cali cool.


another (new!) art source is from jenny komenda called jenny print shop. i've read jenny's blog for many many years and she never disappoints. she's extraordinarily creative and her art mirrors that trait. you can find a little bit of everything here!


have you found any cool art lately?

#SpringIntoHome Tour: Farmer's Daughter Interiors

we're on week three of the #springintohome tour series and today we're featuring the home of kelsey grose of farmer's daughter interiors. kelsey is located in saskatchewan, canada and has a fresh and unique take on interiors. her home is pretty, fun, eclectic and full of inspiration. she and her husband did significant renovation work including moving walls, windows, and even the staircase! clean lines mixed with vintage pieces is clearly kelsey's signature style. check out her blog for the full post!

those counter stools though! i love the black and of course from a mom's point of view i can't help but love them for their cleanability too!


great, simple styling.


such a fun pattern on this roman shade!


a casual, cool dining space.



i love that black floor lamp so much - it's the details that really make designs come to life.


this spindle bed in black is so good!!


a fresh and clean bathroom with that touch of vintage charm makes it feel homey.



don't forget to check out the rest of the participants too!

#SpringIntoHome Tour: Bria Hammel Interiors

back this friday with the next designer in our #springintohome house tour series and this one is a personal fave of mine, bria hammel interiors! bria creates such beautiful spaces and her own home is no exception. check out bria's blog for the full tour and don't miss her fab instagram feed.

how cute is she?!


bria's home is new construction like mine is and i love seeing how she personalized her space, which isn't always easy to do in new construction. aren't these chairs in the great room everything! 💙



the dining room is a gorgeous space and how cute is is all ready for easter? i'm in love with the wallpaper (by farrow & ball) and recently got a sample of it for a client.


the kitchen is definitely up there on my list of favorites in bria's home. and check out her blog for shots of her pantry - it's enviable!



bria and her husband have two little ones - how sweet is their daughter's nursery?


and her son's room is just too cute.


bria said she designed her whole house around the stairs and i'd say that was a good move. loving this gallery wall.



last but not least, THIS mudroom. the wallpaper is such a statement but it totally works. and a full reveal will be coming later this month!


so there you have it! hope this starts your friday off right - i mean how could it not?! :)

so fresh and springy!


this simple styling is right on - i love that bouquet!


how about these sconces on the built ins?

Pins I've Pinned And Posts I've Liked

happy hump day! i'm back with another edition of pinterest and instagram goodies. lots of varied looks today, all of which i love for different reasons. that's definitely something i love about social media - you can find inspiration everywhere and even though i might not choose all of it for myself, i sure do appreciate it.

i'm loving the simple layering of this entry wall.

i love this bedroom that becki owens recently completed. and this shot with all the neutrals is perfection.

this home from @patrickahearnarchitect is 👌👌


i'm loving these blues and a bit of pink from julia @lemonstripes.


@hudsonstore blew it out of the water with this room. stunning.


have a great day!

Annoucement!

hello friends! man the last couple of weeks were doozies and it doesn't look like that's changing anytime soon - sorry for not checking in here for a while.

i quickly wanted to let you know that i've added a few items to the "for sale" page - bedroom furniture mostly - and i'm adding a couple more things this week so check back if you're interested!

but onto the good stuff! i'm so excited to share that i'll be participating in a spring house tour with four other amazing bloggers!


and the participants are...drumroll...

doreen of doreen corrigan and also on IG @doreencorrigan
bria of bria hammel interiors and also on IG @briahammelinteriors
kelsey of farmers daughter interiors and also on IG @farmersdaughterinteriors
claire of centered by design and also on IG @centered_by_design
and me!

of course we have a hashtag to commemorate this event, it's 2017 after all! 😉 this is the first time i'm doing something like this and it's kicked my a$$ into gear with finishing some projects around the house along with refreshing some spaces. so fingers crossed, i'll have a couple of new spaces to show in their entirety that i haven't shared before!

i created a new blog category for it so you can easily find all of the posts related to this house tour and any future house tours to the right under the "labels" header. and remember to find the whole group over at #springintohome !
