Brian and I are celebrating our 10th anniversary today. TEN YEARS. It’s actually 16 years together in total. He’s truly my soulmate, best friend, and generally my most favorite person in the world. And folks, I’m happy to say that after some rockier years we are more solid than we have ever been because of… Read More …
Well, you asked for it (even I asked for it) and here you go – budget sectional living room. Let me go ahead and grandstand about sectionals for a bit. I love them. If you want a really formal room, then maybe they aren’t for you, but if you are secretly wanting a sectional but… Read More …
My job just gets easier and easier. Target’s fall collection launched last week and it is VERY, VERY, VERY good. They invited me to host a big editor event in upstate New York a few weeks ago where I previewed a lot of the pieces in person and took some iPhone pics, but then when… Read More …
I’ve wanted to do this post FOREVER. I love custom-framed art (the above GIF is from a sponsored post we did with Framebridge who do lovely and very easy custom framed options for your art), but I love even more less expensive ready-made frames when you are able to do it and your art allows for… Read More …
Hey there, friends, Brady and Ginny here today. We are tackling another fun e-design project that we recently finished up. This time we took on a open floor plan living room/entry/dining area where the husband and wife wanted to update their space with some new items while keeping and repurposing some of the items they… Read More …
I am using every single SPARE second of the day to design our new house but it’s so hard to do something beautiful and creative that doesn’t have a long lead time or isn’t insanely expensive. We are gutting the kitchen and 3 bedrooms in 3 months. Talk about a tight timeline. People think I… Read More …
Hey all, it’s Ginny again! If you tuned in yesterday you will have seen my living room reveal and today I’m excited to share my dining room. This room is probably one of my favourites in the house because of the dark blue walls. I actually only decided to paint those wall a few months back. I was… Read More …
Hey all, it’s Ginny here. You may remember “way-back-when,” when I introduced my living room as part of the EHD Makeover Takeover series?! No? Me either, it was SO long ago now (here is a recap if you need it). But after lots of um-ing and ah-ing, moving furniture around, and re-styling every single surface,… Read More …
Hey guys, Emily is in Oklahoma for the next few days (!?!) so I’m here (Brady) talking about how to have fun style-wise in the bathroom – all approved by that lady, don’t worry :) Happy bathrooms mean happy people, and everyone loves happy people, so to bring a little bit more happiness into your… Read More …
When the founder of Design Milk, Jaime Derringer, reaches out to have you design her living and dining room you say, “Sure … but are you sure you don’t want to do it?” But, believe me, I know that having the ability and having the time/energy/desire are two different things. I’d say 1/2 of our clients are… Read More …
A few months ago we started a workout bet at the office, which is right when we took this pic. We all put $100 in a jar (5 of the 6 of us are participating, Ginny isn’t feeling it this time). You have to workout 4 days a week for at least 45 minutes –… Read More …
As a reader of this blog, I’m extremely excited to see how we are going to lay out this room. As the owner and the designer of the home, I’m less-so. It looks easy, but let me remind you of one thing: this is our family room and living room. I’m a normal “low-tech-for-kids” mom,… Read More …
According to the official stats (or the last 5 min we spent on google looking for the answer here in the studio), we spend a total of 1/3 of our lives sleeping. 9,125 days to be exact if you live to 75 years old and probably a few extra hours if you had as restful… Read More …
The horror that was this bathroom (before renovation) was intense and I was in denial. Sure I knew it was TERRIBLE and apologized to any newcomer that came over, but for a couple years I was unable to really tackle it – emotionally, physically and financially. Here’s how it looked when we first moved… Read More …
I turn 37 tomorrow and I’m headed out for the week to spend time with my family, but before I go some thoughts on my age . . . Everybody has their “age” – a number that they always feel they “are,” on an existential level. Mine is 27. Even when I was 24 I… Read More …
