The Styled Capsule

Last year my New Year’s resolution was to try my hand at the 5 Piece French Wardrobe, and it truly worked to focus my shopping habits. But now our resident style guru Jen has me totally intrigued by the Capsule Wardrobe. I like to set my alarm a bit earlier so I can indulge in the act of […]

How to Fake It ‘Till You Make It

I’ll come out and say it, I’m not crazy about my kitchen. There’s nothing wrong with it per se, the cabinets aren’t dated and the countertops aren’t offensive. It’s not quite worth the time and resources to renovate, but it’s just not what I would have chosen. So what do you do when you don’t […]

Loft Life

The challenge of living in a loft is that you can see everything from every vantage point. And the beauty of living in a loft is that you can see every piece of art, every vignette, and every piece of carefully chosen furniture from every vantage point! Despite the potential for design challenges, I prefer the […]

How to Fake a Headboard

When you’re working with a tight space, or a tight budget, a headboard can be one of those nice-to-have pieces that doesn’t quite make the cut. Don’t get me wrong I love the look of a low bed in the center of a sparse, white room, but in real life (and when you don’t live in […]

Do You Personalize Your Office?

We spend so much time making sure our homes look just right, but often neglect the space where we spend the majority of our waking hours: the workplace. Of course the type of work that you do will determine what’s appropriate for your office — after all, we can’t all have a wall-sized moodboard à la […]

The Multi-Purpose Home

For most of the year our homes function pretty routinely, but during the holidays, they take on so many extra responsibilities. You may bake more cookies this month than the rest of the year combined, host your extended family under your roof, or throw an epic New Year’s eve bash. Since your home is multi-tasking, it’s imperative that your furniture and decor […]

Rethinking Holiday Decor

There are few things in life that can elicit the level of excitement and nostalgia that holiday decorations can. Of course I still get those giddy feelings when I see a beautifully lit tree and sentimental ornaments, but living in a small space now I can’t help but think “yes, but what about storing them the rest of the year?” […]

The First Thanksgiving

Unfortunately I don’t think I was blessed with the natural hostess gene. I am always in awe of Camille’s ability to create a beautiful experience for her guests and manage to relax and enjoy herself too. So I was more than a little relieved to read Camille’s hilarious account of the first Thanksgiving she hosted […]

Fashion at Home

As an interior addict, my design fix is not limited to the pages of magazines and bloggers’ home tours. I intently study the homes of movie characters, the occasional nail salon, and in this case, the setting of a Jack Spade lookbook. Fashion and furnishings can sometimes feel like two disparate parts of your shopping list, but this […]

How to Hide Your TV

If you’re into movie nights, live sports, or the occasional heart stopping episode of Scandal, then a television is probably a part of your living room decor. It is a rare sight to see one in a design magazine, so it can be a challenge searching for inspiring ways to style them. In this gorgeous Portland loft, […]

Be My Guest

As we head into the first weekend of Austin City Limits Music Festival, I am preparing for house guests. And there is truly nothing like a house guest to light a fire under your unfinished design projects! It is so useful to have a deadline to finally hang those curtains, frame that print, or even replace the lightbulb in […]

Olive & June Nail Salon

I couldn’t believe it when I first saw it, but this sublime sitting area is not the living room of a stylist or a blogger. In a first for this series, today we are talking about bringing home the look of — get this — a nail salon. The phrase nail salon typically conjures up a […]

Transformed :: Concrete + Copper Plant Stand

Happy Thursday! Claire here with the perfect summer kick-off DIY. I don’t know about you all, but I am a plant lover. I have them scattered on my porch, decorating my shelves and still can’t help but keep buying more! What is better than displaying them on a plant stand you made yourself? Better yet, […]

Transformed :: Mirror Goes Gold

Happy Thursday! Claire here and if you are familiar with my transformed projects you know I think everything looks better with a little gold. Decor at Camille’s office is no exception! Things over at the new office space are moving along wonderfully, and we can’t wait to show you the finished product, but first I […]

Transformed :: Our New Studio Space!

I’ve mentioned here a few times that we’re currently renovating a new space that will become our studio and office in a couple of weeks! There’s nothing more exciting than seeing it all come together — wood floors down, lighting installed and marble for the kitchen arriving this week. I’m so lucky to have been able […]
