Did you guys catch the full reveal of my daughter Ivie’s bathroom?! It is one of my favorite spaces I’ve ever designed!! This post is giving you all of the details on the eye candy and everything you need to know to recreate it yourself!

So lets get to sourcing!

The star of the show is the mural designed by Colleen Elizabeth, I have been obsessing over her creations for such a long time and was so excited when she said she would design one just for this space. You can see the full step by step tutorial for the Paint By Numbers mural here! The Memo Light is from Article and such a fun addition!

The black and white floor tile is from Daltile, you can get it at homedepot.com and read all about why I chose it here! I also used in stock white 4×4 tile for the shower and wall. I’ve been wanting to tile an entire wall again after doing it in my $939 bathroom renovation and it just gives off a vibe unlike any other.

Mirror is from West Elm (if you’re close to Las Vegas, check out my post about their top secret outlet store!) The retail price is $499 but I scored it for under $200!

The lights are Hudson Valley Lighting Tate in aged brass.

Our amazing cabinet guys Shawn from Aspen Mill (if you’re southern Utah local!) did SUCH an amazing job on the vanity. It’s the perfect nod to industrial that I wanted! Cabinet hardware is from CB2 (backplate + knob).

One of my favorite elements that turned the entire design of the Merc on it’s head (literally) is the plumbing fixtures that we used. Going into the Merc I thought I was going be all about the modern brass, but when I saw Kohler’s Artifact collection in Vintage Nickel my world stopped spinning one way and started spinning another. I absolutely LOVE this hardware, and paired with their Iron Plains sink it is heavenly.

Can we just talk about the shower door? I had it custom made by a local company called Desert Sun Glass. It makes the ENTIRE ROOM and is the first thing that people comment on when they see the space.

The plant shelves are a quick 15 minute project and have a tutorial coming next week as well!

Walking into the bedroom, you can see right into the closet, so it needed to be something that was special. We’ve got a how to coming up on building it, so stay tuned for that! The hanging globe light is from West Elm.

 

The towel rack and toilet paper holder are custom- BUT GUESS WHAT?! We’re going to be selling them in our shop!! Make sure you are following along so you dont miss the launch announcement!!

I absolutely love the art prints. The photos from Iceland are from Jenny’s Print Shop  1 2 3. And the print hanging above the toilet is from my new favorite artist Hannah Ward. It’s called the Healer’s Hand and I think its the perfect touch of spirituality. The prints hanging in the closet are the coolest photo collages from Hav House.

Hey hey!! If you follow my instastories you know last weekend I took FULL advantage of the West Elm Outlet sale in Vegas and I thought it would be fun to show all the deals I got !

First things first, the West Elm Outlet is top secret. You’d never know that it was an outlet store. It’s not advertised anywhere that there are KILLER deals happening. The store looks just like a normal West Elm. If youre in Las  Vegas you have to go. It’s in The District at Green Valley Ranch (190 S Green Valley Pkwy, Henderson, NV 89012) They run killer promos over the holidays (Black Friday was SO GOOD) and the one they were running last weekend was an extra 40% off (everything is already heavily discounted so you do the math!) If you want a heads up on the deals, follow them on Instagram (@westelmlasvegas) this is where they announce everything!

I didn’t realize how little furniture was left after our last Hoard Sale, we’re pretty much starting fresh with the Merc (except for a few couches) which is a little daunting and very exciting all at the same time!

So do you want to see what I scored!? I’ve linked everything that is still available on their website!

Mid Century Desk $699 | Sale: $268

 

Linen Duvet $199 | Sale: $39

 

Trapeze Glass Cups $5 | Sale $2 (These are only sold in sets on westelm.com, not individually like they are in store)

 

Utility Canisters $20-$39 | Sale $8-$17 (They only had a flour and tea option so I’m ordering some of the other ones!)

 

Terra Plates in Ivory and Light Blue $24 | Sale $2
TWO FREAKING DOLLARS. How?! That’s thrift store prices folks.

The last 2 are my favorites and unfortunately not available at all anymore! SAD!!

Highland Console $1299 | Sale $540
I’m going to put this in the entryway, it’s perfect because its so long!!

 

Fluted Cylinder Chandelier $560 | Sale $279
I’m hanging this in the entryway to replace the light that I bought from Rejuvenation that just seemed off. I LOVE that it’s adding little color to the space!

Grand total for the trip: $1,536 which is pretty great considering it would’ve been $3,973!!

I cant wait to get everything in the Merc so I can show you guys how great it looks! If youre in Vegas DEFINITELY check out the store you won’t be disappointed!

Hey hey!! I’m back today with all the delicious details of the guest room makeover I did for my sister Amy! Now, I’ll be the first to admit that I wish there was more DIY involved, but this was done totally weekend warrior style so while there is some, a lot of it can be sourced (which is great if you’re not that into DIY.)

First lets start with the wall color. Last week we announced that Sherwin-Williams 2018 Color of the Year is Oceanside. Its a really deep teal that’s a little bit on the blueish side.

I recruited my best helpers (sorry Court) and we knocked the painting out. One thing to note, when you’re using really dark colors, especially ones that are in the green family, you’re definitely going to need more than one coat of paint, with Amy’s room we did 2 + touchups where it needed more.

The dark wall was the perfect backdrop for the Macrame bed. For the last year, even trip to IKEA left me wanting this bed. It was just screaming for a custom macrame headboard right?!

bed | sconce | shelf | tree | pillow | light | rug | stool

While we were at IKEA we scored the cabinet in the As-Is section for next to nothing!

letter board | print | mirror | chair | pillow | cabinet

The mirror above the cabinet is the most basic of Target staples right now and I’m of the belief that everyone needs at least 2 in their house. The thin brass frame is just so fundamentally good. Like most weekend warrior projects, we did some scavenging and found these prints  that Amy had on hand from Society 6.

My heart just feels so happy with how great our Vintage Green letter board looks here!!

One of my favorite places to visit in Vegas is the West Elm outlet store. That’s where she got the great camel leather chair and a few things that are in the other rooms of the house. You can find really great pieces at fantastic prices, so check it our if you’re ever down there.

I LOVE white bedding. Like I don’t know if I’ve ever used anything else in a room makeover love. The reason? Because in what world would you be able to pair that wall color with that pillow AND have a colored duvet and live to tell the tale? It would not be a good combination. White makes it all play nice. I layered white sheets, a white throw, and a white duvet on the bed (all from IKEA).

The long lumbar pillow is made from a rug that got stuffed and whip stitched together. It grounds the wall with its muted muddy colors. Imagine how different it would feel if they were bright true tones? Totally different!! I also really love that its a single statement making pillow instead of a slew of different ones, it makes the bed making for guests less tetris-y.

One thing to keep in mind when you’re decorating guest room is that they don’t really need a lot of drawers. There is a closet at the foot of the bed, and the cabinet from IKEA, so we didn’t really need a nightstand. But we did need something. So used this simple shelf from Target that is a great place for a cup, a pair of glasses, or a phone to hang out while it charges.

I feel like we need a serious slow clap for that wall sconce from World Market, which is also where the ceiling light came from. So much goodness.

You may have heard it said on the interwebs before that the faux fiddle leaf from World Market is the best. I am here to add my big fat gold star that situation. It is HANDS DOWN the best that I’ve seen, and the price isn’t horrible! A real one in St. George at my local Home Depot runs anywhere from $79-$149 and usually dies within 4 months. This one is $179 and lives FOREVER!

 

The map on the wall was a craigslist score, the seller had a whole rack of them that I got for $350!! If I ever decide to sell a couple, you guys will be the first to know!

I love how this space turned out, especially that macrame bed. It is one of my favorite projects that I’ve done in a very long time!! The problem is that I just kind of made it up as I went, so I don’t really have a great tutorial for it. Would you guys be interested in a post with a round up of the knot styles that I used, even if its not the exact pattern? Or MAYBE if someone is a great macrame artist that makes patterns, you can email me and we can figure something out!?

Hands down the most requested info about my in-laws house is where they sourced the wood-look siding. Its crazy good, even standing right underneath it you’d swear it was wood.

So here are all the details!

It’s made by a company called Longboard

They have 20 different colors and wood types. The one we went with was Light National Walnut thought we also really loved the Dark Acacia and the Dark National Walnut.

Its significantly more expensive than real wood but the upside is that it doesn’t have any maintenance once its installed. Real wood requires staining and/or clear coating every 4-5-ish years (which is pretty spot on based on our experience with our exterior shutters).

Another advantage is that it looks absolutely perfect. There isn’t any warping, knot holes, or unevenness at all.

I don’t think you can order it online, you need to go through a dealer but if you put your zip in than it will tell you surrounding shops in your area.

In other news, construction on the Merc starts TODAY!!!! Glory glory I am so excited I can’t even handle it!!!

You guys! I’m so excited to share this fun dining room makeover with you!! Before you keep scrolling I want you to close your eyes (I mean, not really ‘cause you have to read, but pretend to close your eyes.)

Picture Home Depot (just go with me on this). Picture all of the things that Home Depot is known for. Now buckle your seatbelt ‘cause you’re about to be blown away.

I’ve had the pleasure of teaming up with Youtube darling Aspyn Ovard for a complete overhaul of her house.

When we started out with not a lot. If you remember, her house is a new build and you could tell. In other words it was very basic and very empty. Her style is young, fresh, and a little mixed bohemian. I wanted the space to feel clean, eclectic, nothing super structured, formal, or traditional. Full of life, yet still calm. Tall order? Maybe.

Are you ready to see it now? EEEEE! This is my favorite part!!

Have you ever dug into the furniture that Home Depot has on their site? YOU. GUYS. They have an entire sister company called Home Decorators Collection and it is SO good!! In fact, everything in this room makeover is from Home Depot!! I know what you’re thinking. The Midcentury table? YES! The Modern Wire chairs? YES! That KILLER rug?!?!! YESSSSSS!!! (Don’t worry, I’ll link everything below!)

We took a few hours at the beginning and tiled the backsplash with basic white subway tile that your local Home Depot will have in stock (remember how I’m currently obsessed with that?) It immediately took the builder basic feel away. This is a great post all about choosing the right grout color for your project!

The next project of the space was the Sharpie wall. Who doesn’t love a project that looks like custom wallpaper but only cost $8.00?

Then it was time to decorate. Aspyn’s house is like so many others. It’s got an open floorplan and the dining room is part of the kitchen so I feel like loads of you can take this makeover and plop it right into your own home. It can be little overwhelming to decorate a space especially if you are a first time homeowner like Aspyn, I mean where do you even start?!

Their original table was cute and simple but a little small for the space and the wood tone was too similar to the flooring. I swapped it out with the Conrad dining room table from Home Depot. I love the midcentury modern style and that the finish is a little warmer than the previous table but still staying on the slightly desaturated side with the antique natural mango wood finish. (Oh yes, and this heirloom piece is currently on sale for $399!!)

Because I upped the table size, it now comfortable fits 6 instead of closely sitting 4 which is perfect for entertaining!

The chairs are killer! I love brass, but I’m kind of really digging chrome lately and these pushed me over the edge!

Let’s just have a heart to heart about this rug. Guys. It’s amazing, right? One of the easiest mistakes to make when you’re decorating a dining room is the rug size. Large rugs are more expensive, but if a huge kilim is out of your budget try to layer a large and inexpensive one underneath it (sisal works great for this!) I really wanted a large sheepskin but wasn’t able to track one down (like that’s ever stopped me) so I ordered this flokati off of Home Decorators Collection and made my own by cutting the shape out.

I wanted the table decor to be something that was pretty and collected and easy to move so I put these bottles on a vintage wooden platter.

Aspyn previously had some stools at the island, but they sort of just blended in with the cabinets and countertop situation so I swapped them out for these stackable aluminum stools.

Speaking of aluminum, I added these spun aluminum lights above the island. I’m really loving the juxtaposition that’s happening in this space with the uber modern shapes and finishes and the relaxed slouchy style of others.

 

The back wall needed something large and simple to break up the wall pattern and finish everything off. I waited and hunted for weeks and just couldn’t find anything that was right so at the last minute (‘cause that’s how we roll) I called my friend Tyler and asked him if he had a picture of the tips of the mountains in St. George. I had it blown up and then mounted it on a simple 4×4 sheet of plywood from The Home Depot. It’s pretty perfect right!? Just the right amount of white space. You can snag it in the Vintage Revivals Shop here!

The last thing that the space needed was some plant love. If your house is lacking something and you can’t put your finger on it, chances are you need a plant friend or 2. Home Depot is the best place to buy plants, especially if you have a black thumb because they will return them for a year!! Granted it’s a little shameful to take in a pot of dirt but I promise they don’t get judgy about it.

Here’s a quick guide to all things dining room:

1| 2| 3| 4| rel=”nofollow”5| 6| 7|

So tell me, were you surprised that everything came from Home Depot?!

Hey hey!! Hope your Friday is off to a great start (which lets be honest, Fridays are ALWAYS off to a great start because Friday.) A few weeks ago I shared a little bit on inspiration for updating my outside entryway, and I’m back to show you the quick results!

The biggest struggle that I have with the exterior of our house is that is just sort of boring its this (a little bit awkward) shade of beige stucco that sometimes looks pink, sometimes looks brown, sometimes looks a little greenish. Like I said, weird. That, coupled with the rock color, leaves me staring blankly at it when it comes to bringing some color in. So I embraced it and went a little less loud.

Entryway Update with Kwikset Downtown Locks copy

The hardware that we had on the door I was not a super fan of. When our previous handle broke, Court ran to HD and in all his manly designer ways picked something that he thought I would love, bless his heart. I was out of town and remember walking up to the front door and thinking “oh why?!”

Entryway Update with Kwikset Downtown Locks-10

 

So when Kwikset sent me their new Downtown Low Profile Deadbolt and Halifax Lever I was ALL OVER IT. I’d actually been researching new hardware and wanted something that looked modern and sleek but all of the low profile deadbolts were $$$$ so I put it off.

Just for fun, guess how much the Downtown deadbolt is…$35.97! THIRTY FIVE DOLLARS!! And they will most likely have them in stock at your local Home Depot or Lowes so if you want to check them out in person you totally can!

Entryway Update with Kwikset Downtown Locks-8

SO MUCH BETTER!!

For the rest of the space I pulled in my favorite cacti, and a easy and cute rug from Target.

I hung a himmeli wreath on the door (you can get your own kit here, and the tutorial to DIY it here!)

Entryway Update with Kwikset Downtown Locks-7

I also ordered a wind chime from CB2 that was in my inspiration board but it looked sort of out of place with the stucco, so I took it down and I’m on the hunt for something less stark.

I swapped out the heinous doorbell…

Entryway-Update-with-Kwikset-Downtown-Locks

For something with a little more style and personality. You can get your own here!

Entryway Update with Kwikset Downtown Locks-6

 

I also freshened up the wood on the door with a good cleaning and wipe down with Wipe On Poly.

Entryway Update with Kwikset Downtown Locks copy

 

From the inside, the Kwikset hardware is just as amazing (in case you were wondering what it looked like from that side!)

Entryway Update with Kwikset Downtown Locks-9

If you’ve got some ugly door hardware that mocks you every time you look at it, it might be the time to swap it out! Trust me when I say, you won’t find something more stylish for a better price than the Uptown/Downtown set. Seems like the perfect way to celebrate the weekend to me!

Massive thanks to Kwikset for teaming up with me on this post!

Hello!! I’ve got a very exciting announcement.

I’m not a lumberyard virgin anymore!!!! You may be rolling your eyes like “yeah, so?” but this is a big deal for this girl!

Untitled-10

I have always wanted to go to a lumberyard, I’ve always wanted to build stuff out of awesome wood, I’ve even googled local yards on multiple occasions. But I just couldn’t ever pull the trigger. There was something super intimidating about it, and though I’m not one that is easily scared off, I was terrified of this unknown world. A couple of months ago I was chatting with my friend who owns a cabinet shop and asked him where in the world he scored all of gorgeous wood that he uses for cabinets. He told me the lumberyard (of course) and so I asked him, how exactly does it work? He told me that he was pretty sure that they would sell it to me (that I didn’t have to be a tradesman) and that they would bring it out and I could pick the pieces that I want. Seemed easy enough. So when the time came to build Tyler’s headboard I was pumped and ready to go buy wood. at the lumberyard.

Deep breath.

The closer I got to the yard, the more nervous I became. I was actually sweating, which is a huge thing for me because I NEVER sweat. Even at the gym.

When I got there, I walked into the office. There were some seriously burly men behind the counter that looked up at me and kind of did the eyebrow raise head tilt like I was lost. (I’m sure looked like I was!) I told them that I wanted to buy some awesome wood and asked how one would go about doing so. They asked what kind I wanted (I had no idea! Is awesome a type?!) and pointed to a wall of different wood blocks. There are no prices, just types. So I picked my favorite and asked how much it was. When you buy wood from Home Depot its priced per liner foot meaning the width of the board doesn’t matter, it is just based on how much length you need. When you buy wood from the lumberyard it is priced per square foot, so they take into account the width and length of the board. I didn’t completely understand but nodded in agreement, acted like I knew what was going on, and they asked me to pull my truck into the dock.

Slatted Peaked Headboard-5

A guy with a forklift and a massive pile of wood came out and I was sort of surprised at just how different each piece was. When you buy lumber from the yard its rough cut, meaning there is no standard size. You have to cut it to the size you need and smooth everything out yourself.

I picked a few pieces that had really pretty coloring, the guy took out his tape measure and measured the boards and wrote some stuff on a paper that I then took back into the office to pay for. I had NO IDEA how much this thing was going to cost me. I didn’t know if I was spending $40 or $400. It felt like I was walking the green mile because what if it was $400 and I had to tell them that I didn’t want to spend $400 and then I had to unload all of the wood out of my truck?! I would look like such a freak!!

Luckily it was only $70. Which I was very comfortably surprised about. After I had paid, they asked me if I wanted a donut and I felt a little bit like part of the gang. Granted I haven’t been back yet, but I feel like I could rock that lumberyard like a pro next time.

So, do you have any tips for lumberyard newbs? I would LOVE some more insight!

Tutorial for the headboard is coming tomorrow, but dare I say, it turned out pretty fantastic!

Can you hear the angels singing, pretty sure that the light streaming in helps with that sound effect a little….

Hey there!! Huge (massive!) thank you to everyone who took the time to click over and vote yesterday for this fun bedroom makeover, it makes my heart so happy to know that so many of you took the time to do that! Remember that one lucky voter will win a $15k room makeover from the winner so chances are I could end up at your house!! You can vote here! And I know that my international folks cant see the contest so here are the links to the Jen’s and Carter’s rooms.

Alrighty then, lets get on with the details of this space shall we? If you know me AT ALL you know I love a good accent wall. This dramatic black shiplap was one of those projects that turned out even better than I imagined. Its just so moody, and lets be honest, cool. Way too cool for a dork like me but I’m just going to pretend that I can hang.

I said it in my last post, but I feel like this room could have be in anyone’s house. It was a little bit of a beige jungle and guess what? Friends don’t let friends have beige houses.

Tyler and Sarah have the same problem that a lot of people deal with. They have a king size bed and not a huge bedroom. In fact, the only wall that was large enough for the bed is the wall with the window on it, which isn’t ideal because it limits the headboard options (you obviously don’t want a massive upholstered headboard that blocks 3/4 of the light that comes through the window.) They also had a ginorm platform that the bed sat on. It took up about 15” on all sides of the already huge bed. When they built it they had grand storage plans but weren’t using it all that much so it was ok to get rid of.

Ok lets discuss the curtain situation. One of the reasons that a bed against the window is a problem is because the curtains aren’t allowed to be super functional. The width of the curtain rod mount was also a bit of a contributor to this situation.

If you happen to find yourself in a similar situation, here is a little trick. Mount the curtains higher on the wall and use a rod that is wide enough that the inside edge of the curtains can hang next to the edge of the window. Here, let me show you.

Doesn’t that window look wildly bigger?! Its like magic!

Ok sorry, I went off on a curtain tangent.

Lets talk about the walls. The first thing that we did was repaint the walls with my favorite white (which has been officially titled Mandi White at my local Sherwin-Williams store) It is their extra white base with 3 oz of white pigment added. Its kind of crazy how much painting your walls and ceiling white opens up the room and gives it so much life.

The headboard is a DIY that even the most beginner DIYer can knock out in less than an hour!! Though it did push me outside of my comfort zone and sent me to the actual lumber yard. (It was sort of terrifying!) Tutorial and story for that coming soon!!

Do you recognize the wall sconces? If you are a frequent Target shopper than I’m sure you’ve seen these killer table lamps yes?

Wellllll, all we did was take the weight out of the bottom (this will require you to disconnect and reconnect a pair of wire nuts) and hang it on the wall. FREAKING BRILLIANT RIGHT??! Man those things look like they should be hundreds of bucks. I love a good hack.

The throw at the end of the bed is actually this rug from World Market! The original plan was to put it on the floor (obvi because its a rug and all) but I set it on the end of the bed so I could vacuum and I was like “Hmmmm. It looks like it should live there.” Is it a little unconventional? Maybe but man it looks so great!!

The one request that Sarah had was a vanity, which happened to be the perfect reason to get rid of the TV.

The vanity is this desk from Target. I’m not going to lie, I was stressing about this situation. With such a fast turnaround I didn’t have time to order anything online so I was limited to what little (miniscule) offerings St. George stores had. I was striking out left and right and had saved Target for the end. When I saw this desk I was SO HAPPY, it was just the right size, the color was great because it was there, but not too bold, and it was available! Bada bing!

I used a hanging light kit with beige cord from the shop and rehung the vintage cast iron mirror that they had. All of the trinkets and books are either thrifted, from the clearance section at Homegoods, or from Target. With the exception of the FREAKING AMAZING GEODES + STANDS. YOU GUYS. I died when the showed up at my house. They are from Vintau and I cant even put into words how much I love them. In fact I’m feeling a little Speidi obsessive about it. I mean, who ever thought I’d relate to Spencer Pratt?

The amazing dresser is one that I’ve been hoarding in the back of storage unit #2 for a while. It just so so good.

The Jackelope Tyler had just hanging out in his office…I love how it adds a little bit of weirdness to the serious wall. The hanging Macramé planter is from IKEA! I’m not going to lie, I feel a little ashamed that I bought something that I can so easily make but its hard finding giant wooden beads (do you know of anywhere!?) It comes with a tray that I didn’t use. Clock is this legend from Target and is just like the one that I used in my Laundry Room. What can I say, its a good clock. The print is a picture that Tyler took when they were in Italy last year. He’s an incredible photographer (thats actually how we met, he shoots the landscapes for my Temple Prints)
