Hey hey! Well, the birthday week continues with a little something for a couple of you. From HomeGoods. Whaaaat? (Said in minion voice.) Yes. HomeGoods asked me and a few other bloggers to share how a few small changes can change up a space in our home. My challenge was in the bedroom – their survey found the bedroom is the No. 1 room in the home that negatively impacts people’s mood. Interesting! They challenged me to change up a spot in our bedroom just making small changes. This was hard…

I'm not sure if I'm the only one on earth who's like this, but my design style is always changing. I am always changing my furnishings and home decor. I consider myself a pretty eclectic person when it comes to home decor. I like a lot of different styles from Hollywood Regency to Modern. I've always loved industrial style. I love the idea that items that were once in a factory can be furnishings in my own home. Last summer I bought a factory cart to use as a coffee table in our basement and…

One of my best friends is expecting a precious little girl early next year, and she had asked me whether she *needs* a daybed in her nursery...

But, that was mostly because of the long wait we had to get the floors installed. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it. If you don't remember the before pictures, here's a little reminder: This was our younger sons room and although the color wasn't bad, It was very dark. Also, this is not the way it looked when he lived here. It became a catch all…

How do you redecorate your home without buying a single item? Edit, edit, edit. Michael Ciancio, a New York-based design director and artist, had been living in his pre-war studio in Carroll Gardens for a few years when he realized he needed a design intervention. “I love having friends over, but the layout was awkward for entertaining,” Michael says.

Designing with color is just like following a recipe; you need to measure your ingredients correctly in order to achieve the desired result. It’s all about balance. I have taken a few colorful living rooms and broken down the “recipe” to show you how different amounts of color help to create a room’s character. Sometimes ...
