But for the past few months, my three kids were constantly walking into my office with the same question over and over again…”Are you working on my room yet?” With a busy family life and a growing design business, my answer was always the same…soon!
Before and After: Rustic Chic Bathroom

New Year: Fresh Start
Hello 2015! It’s a new year and although I am not one to make New Year’s resolutions, I have to admit I love a fresh start. While many of us are kick starting the year with goals and aspirations, now is the perfect time to think about refreshing your home. Spending time in a room that feels new can provide motivation and boost energy levels that are much needed after the holidays. Of course there is no need for a major overhaul but simple changes can instantly transform the look of your home. Try these ideas and get ready to give your home a fresh start.
FRESH PAINT
Paint your room in a fresh new color.
These are some of my favorite go-to paint colors. Adding a neutral color to your walls will create a clean backdrop ready for accessorizing.

FRESH ACCESSORIES
Accessories are an instant refresher. Create warmth by adding textural elements like faux fur pillows or a cozy cable knit throw. Metallic accents throughout the room will add a touch of sparkle that will brighten up any space. Gather your collectibles and display them on a shelf. Floral arrangements will also add a natural element to your room.
FRESH ART
Whether it’s an abstract piece, fine art or photography, your artwork will show off your style and personality.
