Large scale remodels almost always demand a large budget. The bigger the space and the more elaborate your design choices, the higher the bottom line. That’s why powder rooms and guest bathrooms have become something of a go-to spot to flex your design muscles. Because these bathrooms are typically smaller and less trafficked, you not […]
When talking about interior design trends, it can sometimes be difficult to envision how to transform a long list of features into a finished space. Especially when trends are very specific (or even contradictory!), you might find yourself struggling to make all those tips and trends work for your space. That’s why today I want […]
Guest bathrooms and powder rooms are among my favorite spaces to experiment with new styles.

Having too few bathrooms is a problem you can run into no matter how big or small your home, especially as your family grows up […]
If you’ve ever dreamed of having your very own Victorian style dressing table but don’t exactly have the space to pull it off, it’s not too hard to craft a bathroom with the same look and feel. Dainty white bathroom vanities, especially those with a little Victorian influence, can often take the part of dressing […]
