Interior Decorating & Home Staging
Sometime bad kitchens happen to good people. It’s an all too common, sad but true, fact. Such was the case for my clients. They longed for simple things - cabinets that matched, floor tiles that actually looked clean when they were, maybe a bit more cooking space - nothing lofty. The original, white … [Read more...]
Let’s talk Powder Rooms. And I mean gorgeous and fabulous powder rooms. Powder Rooms are pretty much purely functional spaces...I think that just means it’s even more important to make sure they’re pretty....kind of a distraction from all that, um...function. Plus, powder rooms are intended for guests, so it’s kind … [Read more...]
I’ve been totally MIA here for a few weeks – I’ve missed you! I hope you check to see signs of life from me on FB and Pinterest. And even Twitter now! (but #ihatetwitter, keep that in mind). With several design projects in varying states of progress, staging projects and well, the whole ‘life’ thing, it’s been a bit crazy! … [Read more...]

Ahhh, Valentine’s Day. The day we celebrate the One we Love. I think that’s what we’re doing, is that even right? In any case, we’re celebrating Love. In elementary school, I loved the cute/cheesy valentines cards that were exchanged...well, until it became a competition about … [Read more...]
We are inundated with updates and information on the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary – the sadness and loss is incomprehensible. There are no words that are adequate, no comfort that could be enough. My heart and my prayers are with those families. My girl Julie, at redheadcandecorate, coordinated a Secret … [Read more...]
Welcome – I’m so glad you’re here! YOU are the very best kind of Christmas visitor – I can only offer you virtual drinks and snacks (requiring minimal effort), AND I can host you while in my fuzzy pj pants, ghastly hair and no makeup. I'm not even kidding, it's Perfect. Blog Hosting is the shizz. The Christmas in the … [Read more...]
I’ve missed you. Client Design projects have me going every direction lately, with all projects “in progress” – meaning no finished rooms to present you, and absolutely no time for DIY’s in this Casa. But I know our bond is greater than a teeny absence.... Here’s a quick but exciting tidbit from this past week: The Sunshine Award … [Read more...]
Do you relate? It’s the downside of Pinterest. No matter how much you love your house, you’ll find spaces & places on Pinterest that you absolutely covet that will just never work in/at your house – leaving you wishing & yearning, knowing they’re unattainable. There’s changes that the budget simply won’t allow, and … [Read more...]
This is the story of how a dreary & sad guest bedroom (that clearly didn’t even deserve sheets, poor dear) became brilliant and dazzling. It was actually even drearier than this ‘Before’ pic, because before ‘Before’, it was still Builder Beige with bad carpet. And now.... New carpet & … [Read more...]
I created the soulstyle 'musings’ as a place to share my passion for color & interior decor, my thoughts & inspirations, and sometimes my life — I'm really glad you're here!
