The Junior League of Boston Show House is back again this year, after a successful event last spring, for which I was honored to transform a blank, crumbling space into a warm and vibrant mother-in-law bedroom. This year’s show house will be held this fall, and I’m so pleased to announce I will be participating…

I hope you had a nice long weekend! It doesn’t exactly feel like summer here, but the pools are open now, so I guess that’s progress? A couple of weeks ago my world changed for the better when this happened… I pretty much haven’t changed the channel in my car since May 18th. I also…

Welcome to Week 5! Today is a big day in my One Room Challenge journey this season. In a way, it’s the last! Let me explain…and share my Week 1, 2, 3, and 4 posts, if you would like to see. Since I’m working on a girls’ bedroom in the home of a client (#KRIProjectSisterAct), I’ve…

They had settled in nicely to their light-filled 1990’s contemporary colonial home, but wanted to make their living room more ‘grown-up’ and suitable for both entertaining, and quiet time with their three young children.

Sometimes when I first walk through a new client’s home for the first time, I kind of wonder “why am I here? This looks perfectly lovely.” Usually when we dig into things, there is a good reason why I’m there, as there is a particular problem to address, and a look and feeling they would like to…
Read MoreI hope you enjoyed the holiday season! It feels like ages since I’ve blogged, though it hasn’t been – I just took a short, planned hiatus for the holidays. And yet the holidays went by so fast. I don’t understand how that works! I postponed writing this post until this morning, because I honestly felt…
