It's been a while since I've had the chance to jump back on here! We've been super busy building our new home, which we moved into back in September '23, and since then we've been non-stop getting so many projects done to turn our new house into a home, and one of those was creating an arch feature in our bar nook!So many of you loved this space when I shared it over on my Instagram, and I had a...

DIY Drop Zone/ Mini Mudroom

When I designed this home, House 2 - Coastal Hamptons, I always knew I wanted to create a space near the entrance of the shopper door for a drop zone/ mini mudroom, since they are so handy, but also add such a feature to the home!With this home being built as an investment property, I knew I didn't want to spend thousands on custom cabinetry, so I started thinking of a DIY solution. There are a...

Lately I've been seeing a lot of different styles of simple, white textured canvas pieces pop up on Pinterest & Instagram, and admittedly I wasn't really sure if I liked them at first, but they've really grown on me! When looking online, they can range anywhere from $100 all the way up to $1,000 plus, and I came across a few others who had DIY'd it, so I thought I'd give it a shot! I...

DIY Wall Panelling

A year or so ago now we were thinking about getting some wall panelling added to our master bedroom at the time (House #1 - Glam Hamptons), and since I love to be creative and do DIY projects we thought we'd give it a shot ourselves! All of the wainscotting throughout that home had been done professionally during the build process, so we hadn't really done anything like this before, but after...
