Color Series: Living Room

Leave a comment

Welcome to a new 4 week design series! These next designs are inspired by Benjamin Moore’s 2025 Color Trends. First up is Rosepine and Paris Rain! I was hoping there would be a Green color palette suitable for a relaxing living room. This color always seems to draw me back to nature, letting a grounding energy come through. The furniture pieces are cozy and neutral, with pops of wood tones in the end and coffee tables. Remember to always add in fun elements to your space with accent pieces. A textured rug, fun pillows, and art work that speaks to you. I hope this color palette and design brought you inspiration! As always, thanks for stopping by and see you next week 🙂 XO, G

Styling Spaces: Living & Bedroom

Leave a comment

Take a look at today’s inspiration for styling your spaces! The living room and bedroom are the next most lived in spaces of your home. It’s where you rest and relax, so it has to be made special. In my home I have end tables, consoles, open shelving and dressers styled in our living room and master bedroom. I’ve curated a few pieces below to help add dimension and personality to your room! Varying textures, heights and colors is my starting point when it comes to finding pieces to fill a space. Take a look below and let me know what you think. Thanks for stopping by! XO – G

Summer Screened-In Porch

Happy FIRST day of Summer!! I’m getting this post out just in time for all the Summer time vibes. Do you ever just look at something, sometimes smell or taste a thing, and it takes you back? Well, that’s how my mind acted when piecing together my latest design inspo below. I’m not sure if it was the red, white and blue – my favorite Summer time memory – or if it was the crisp, cool and relaxing patterns and tones, but it brought me to Summer! Take a look below and let me know what you think. Where is your dream location to be in the Summer? XO, G

Kitchens and Living

Leave a comment

The heart of almost every home is the kitchen! You’re in there for at least three meals of the day, and if you think about it, whenever there is a gathering of people, there has to be food. For this reason, it’s a no brainer why every modern floorplan today leans towards an open concept – grabbing a snack at the large kitchen island and being able to sit close by on your couch. My apartment is already like that and I can’t imagine living any other way! When it comes to design though, the overall aesthetic of your homes floor, walls and cabinetry can really make a difference as to how you design your living spaces. The kitchen typically creates the foundation for a home’s overall feel and style, so today I’m bringing a design totally opposite from my current modern, bright and clean lined apartment kitchen and living room.

My inspiration started here:

And led me to this:

A warm, very traditional, with pops of patterns mixed along! I really started with the flooring and cabinet color. Mixed in a more neutral kitchen surface and backsplash to bring the pattern alive as the star of this room. Let me know what you think and if you’re wondering how else I would complete this look. A couch, pillows, bar stools, anything. I’ll have everything linked down below. Thanks for checking it out. XO, G

Rustic-Gold Farmhouse Living

Leave a comment

Today I am sharing a design that was inspired by a cow-print accent chair. Of course I wanted to balance the bold design with the more transitional style that is throughout the rest of my future home design. But this chair had my eye and I couldn’t not have it somewhere in the design plan!

I went with a more sophisticated styled couch, rug and lamps. I kept the tables and art work more rustic and farmhouse chic. Mixing two styles together can be a fun challenge! I love seeing a vision like this one come to design. What are you hoping to get more inspiration of?

Mixed Neutral Formal Dining

1 Comment

Envisioning my own future space is tough. This one took me awhile! It was hard to design as I wanted it to be perfect and still flow with the rest of the rooms I have planned for my dream home. Hopefully I can share with you the floor plan eventually! The formal dining room is right off of the main entry way, so it invites your guests in, along with the formal living room that is across from it. I want those two rooms to be a main focus and develop the style and feel of my home. I’m going for something that is more traditional, slightly an old world European style, yet has touches of modern elements throughout. You can see I made that work by mixing together greys and beiges, with touches of gold accents.

Check it out, let me know what you think and if you have any questions! Everything is linked down below from Restoration Hardware. XO, G

A Grey Glamour Master Bedroom

1 Comment

I’m back with another master bedroom design! It’s been awhile and I want to make sure I am still incorporating ideas and designs for every room in your home.

This was a really fun one to put together, because, everything is from Target! When you can bring your vision all together from one place, it makes things easier. Of course you’ll always want to shop around for prices and quality, but this got the job done for this glamorous grey envisioned space!

This space is traditional, yet modern enough to bring in some fun accent pieces. My favorite is the little seating and dressing space of the room. I’ll have everything linked below, take a look! XO, G.

Modern Black (and Navy) Living Room

Leave a comment

Hello and happy Friday! I was recently inspired when someone told me they were envisioning an all black living space. Your immediate reaction is to think, oh no, that could not work. But with some thinking, planning and a vision of how I could come up with a realistic ‘all black’ living room, I designed something a little more modern, starting with a black couch, and bringing in brighter pieces to keep it not so dark. The navy color stayed with the all black vision, while wanting to keep it bright enough. Take a look and let me know what you think! If you need a design vision put together, contact me here.

XO, G
