I have attempted to take photos of some of my work for my portfolio and let me just say, it’s difficult. The angles and lines can […]

VIBRANT

How great are these countertops?? I love experimenting with color in the kitchen – there are so many great opportunities for color. Painting your cabinets a new color every once in a while never hurt anybody.   What color(s) is/are in your kitchen?? credit.

A NIGHT TO MYSELF

The best part of having the house to myself? A much-needed “me” night full of red wine, a bath, nail polish and a romantic comedy. Relaxation, oh how I have missed you. Maybe I will even start reading a new book, who knows. The night is young. Good Evening all. photo 1 2 3

A STYLING TIP

Two things I really love about these photos: The overall styling & the perfect touch of black and white.  Styling can be very challenging but there is just something I adore about the trial-and-error process of styling photo shoots. You can ask my boyfriend – I use our apartment as a practice tool for styling. […]
