Welp. It’s up! Our tile, that is. The verdict? It’s so, so good. The saturation, the scale and the pattern. I’m seriously in love. Here are just a few shots of our guest house bath renovation (better late than never.. ). Don’t forget that there is plenty more where this came from! We’ve got lots…
White Elephant Antiques – Dallas, TX Cheap, Good and Fast. No, I am not talking about your last Tinder date (although, that might not be too far from the truth depending on how your date went) – I am talking about interior style and your expectations on pulling it all together. I struggle explaining this…
I could peruse Etsy for HOURS. There are so many great, unique sources right at your fingertips. As our needs change, so do my favorite go-to Etsy shops. I’ve highlighted some of my favorites below. WoodCraftsbyEd With our guest room is coming together and lots of visitors in town to meet the new babe, I’ve…
I think one of the biggest misconceptions about interior style is that all of your accented metallics should be consistent with one another. In fact, I think doing so will make a space feel more ‘forced’. That said, mixing metals should be done thoughtfully. Here are a few tips that might help you in your…
Let me first start out by saying I am not trying to become the next Martha Stewart, nor am I starting a wedding floral business. I just really happen to enjoy arranging flowers. Seriously, to a totally nerdy level. Recently, I was tasked with table scape/decorations for a friend’s baby shower. So, I thought I…
Part of our backyard make-over includes the renovation of our detached garage. The garage was so far down the driveway behind the house that we never parked cars in there. For the past two years, it’s been a dust filled, over-sized parking spot for our bikes. We could certainly use the additional guest space as…
It’s true, nothing is as impactful in a space as a large scale piece of art. But when you don’t want to fork over a couple hundred bucks (at a minimum) for something special, a good ol’ gallery wall can really make a statement too. When my husband, Kale, and I started traveling, I made…
Creating a brand is something I knew very little about initially. Luckily, I had a great support system and a supper talented friend (Tracy of Tracy Melton Artistry) who had been down the branding path before who was such a great guide through the process. She also referred me to my branding consultant, Doodle Dog…
When it came to designing our own personal bedroom, I knew I wanted DARK walls. With all the natural light in our house, I felt like this would keep the space feeling warm, intimate and not too stark in the mornings. We really didn’t want to invest in bedroom furniture at the time but managed…
So you’re looking for some unique, interesting art pieces and don’t know where to start? Flea markets and antique stores are always fun places to find some one-of-a-kind pieces, but sometimes you want something specific or more modern looking. Here are my top three go-to online sources for artwork: Etsy – so maybe this was…
The Bungalow Backyard is currently getting a SERIOUS makeover (don’t worry, posts and updates with sources to come!). One of the things we’re working on is the outdoor kitchen, which will include a grill/rotisserie and elongated counter space for laying out food and beverages. Initially, we had planned on stacked stone sides or facade and…
I told my husband after we found out we were expecting that while most girls daydream of what their wedding day will look like, I daydreamed about putting together my future baby’s room. He still thinks I am being dramatic. Truth be told though, I literally cannot think of a more fun space to really…
Lighting can make or break a room. It can also be expensive. Exhibit A: (Gingko Sconce via Shades of Light) Beautiful.. and $579. Ouch. Not necessarily for everyone’s budget. That said, there are plenty of options out there that don’t necessarily have to break the bank. Here are a few of my favorites: (Santander…
Last September, my husband and I spent several days in Marrakech exploring the medina and taking it all in. What we found was an exceptionally unique city that is a hotbed for artisans in all kinds of trades. The medina is a sprawling maze of vendors, riads (or Moroccan homes) and cafes. Everything about Marrakech…
Gilded Heights has been a long time coming. My love of eclectic, vintage treasures and beautiful spaces goes back a long way. A part of me always knew I’d end up putting this passion into a business, but I’m glad I took the route that I did. After almost 10 years as an interior designer…
