Inspiring European Spaces
Can I be honest...design is boring me! Ahhh I said it out loud!!!! I can't believe I feel that way, but I don't mean I don't love designing...I mean design is boring. So much of what I see on the gram lately and browsing the internet I find the same kind of spaces. I was just looking at a 5 million dollar home today on IG that bored me...I know I sound crazy.

Small Closet Makeover
When it comes to design I think sometimes the smaller spaces are the most fun! There is less to think about with floor plans and filling a space. Not to mention you can get a lot of high impact in a small space.

I think one space in particular when searching design styles that comes together with that big ... Read more
