High ceilings, clean furniture lines, bold COLOR, plus art and keepsakes that tell a story. These are a few of my favorite things and what a great starting point for this city family room refresh.
BEFORE
The kids stuff can easily take over, but it doesn't have to! The goal was to declutter, add a bold rug, and restyle the lighting and bookshelves.
After
A happy, bold rug choice, decluttering + styling shelves, and using toy bins to create limits on what lives in the room finish it off.
Before and After: Quick Bathroom Update
Sometimes you need an outsider to give you a list to overcome feeling overwhelmed! That's what I'm all about and I love, love, love helping folks prioritize and tick things off their list.

BEFORE:
AFTER:
Hemming the valence and adding happy pom-pom trim, hanging a little shelf they had on hand, adding some greenery (in love with these simple cement planters from local Frank Community Farm), a secondhand basket for under stink storage, and hooks for towels that are anything but boring.
We are still on the lookout for the right artwork for over the radiator, but I always recommend patiently waiting for something that speaks to you rather than something from Target just because it matches.
Instead, Support a local artist. Pickup something while traveling. Paint a canvas with your child.
What are some small changes that can help a room in your home feel more complete?
