Katrina happens to be a good friend of mine, who approached me a while back about decorating her home. Her husband, Jed, built this amazing house for their family of 5. When I announced that I was going to start doing interior styling on a regular basis, she was the first to hop on board. I have been designing and decorating friend's and family's homes for many years. I'm that girl that ge[...]
While the space and light you see throughout the Cole’s house is what might first draw your attention, one of the more intriguing details is the use of sentimental belongings and pieces that fill each of the rooms in their home.

We painted the room a light grey an[...]
So, we recently decided that we really need quite the overhaul in our home office. We just took off the Derek Jeter light cover, from the previous owners (we've lived here almost 4 years.) Sidenote: I, for the life of me, cannot bring myself to do certain things. The Derek Jeter light switch being one of them. Putting actual pictures in picture frames is another.
