Today I have a VERY exciting announcement! I’m honored to be a design coach for the local Re-Energized by Design home makeover competition held by Puget Sound Energy. Re-Energized by Design is a “design show” style competition pitting 6 home owners against one another in a series of 5 home improvement projects focusing on fusing elegant home design with energy efficiency. Re-Energized by Design contestant’s efforts will be documented by a film crew who will put together ...

In a perfect world, I’d get to walk through every e-design project at least once. That’s why I ask my e-design clients to make a walk-through video if possible – it helps get a sense of how the room feels in 3-D. So when I got another local inquiry that was interested in e-design, we tacked on an hour consultation so I could visit the room in question and talk over some ideas. The room is ...

No, no, not for me (we’re not quite there yet, folks). My best friend Laura is having a baby next spring. I’m THRILLED and of course have nosed my way in to decorating the nursery. While we’re still waiting to find out if the room’s future inhabitant is a boy or a girl, I’ve been playing with some nursery concepts – definitely not finished products yet (and not with any particular budget in mind), just a ...

We have a great guest post today, from the charming and lovely Caitlin. She is one of the sweetest gals you’ll meet in the blogosphere and her passion for decorating on a student budget and entrepreneurial spirit reminds me of myself at 22 (which is just how old young this talented woman is! Enjoy, and be sure to visit her blog! Hi, guys! I’m Caitlin from Reverie to Reality and am so delighted to be here sharing ...

Ok friends, I have a little project in the works and I need a good guinea pig willing participant to make it happen. If you meet the following criteria, I’d love to hear from you! You might be the one if you… 1. Live in Seattle, WA. 2. Have a room (bedroom, living room, entry, bathroom, etc) that has the majority of pieces in place but is missing the finishing touches (or missing accents like small tables, etc)… 3. ...

We’re crossing projects off our living room list left and right lately (the best feeling!). Of course I keep thinking of how far we have yet to go, but I love seeing my vision come to life. On Sunday Ryan hung the wall shelves I wanted over the TV. Not only does it allow for a little more styling of our existing bookshelf (displacing some of the books we had crammed on there), but also ...

Due to the cost of real estate in our favorite Seattle neighborhoods and the fact that I’m self-employed (read: saving pennies, not dollar bills!), it will be at least five years before Ryan and I are ready to buy a home. But just because we rent doesn’t mean I am waiting to get my decorating skills on. Not owning the place where you live does pose unique decorating challenges (can’t put in the built-in-bookshelves I ...

The link party is here! I opted to use ONLY Lamps Plus products for my design board (if yours just has one or two, that’s fine). I had a ton of fun sifting through the huge selection of merchandise. I ended up bookmarking many pieces, but alas, only so many could fit into my imaginary dining room. You could easily furnish a whole room here, but of course the gold is their wide variety of table ...

I thought it would be fun to take a versatile piece of furniture and show how it can be used in different rooms. For this post, I chose the iconic Chesterfield sofa. This one is in a soft blue. To juxtapose the sofa, I threw it into a “masculine” room and then a “feminine” room. However, both rooms contain elements that could be used anywhere. This isn’t a sports themed man cave and Hollywood boudoir here, ...

My blog bestie Jackie is filling in today (she’s the Lucy to my Ethel!). Take it away, J! Hello Maggie Rose readers! My name is Jackie, and I author the lifestyle blog Sweetie Pie Style. Maggie and I met through blogging many, many moons ago, and I count her as one of my nearest and dearest. I’m happy to be here guest-posting for her as she settles in to her new abode-which I cannot wait to ...
