Fall is my favorite excuse to give the front porch a little attention after a long summer. A few pumpkins by the steps, a wreath, and some dried branches in an old planter can make coming home feel different in the best way. I can say a porch does not need to be packed with…

Fall is one of those seasons that makes a few small bathroom changes surprisingly satisfying. I’ve found that swapping in warmer towels, earthy accessories, and a seasonal candle can change the mood of the room in a matter of minutes. A little rust, deep green, wood, or dried foliage can bring autumn indoors without turning…

I’ve always thought half walls make sense in walk in bathrooms where a fully open shower feels a little too exposed. They give you somewhere to tuck the plumbing, catch some splashes, and add a bit of privacy, all without turning the walk-in shower into a closed box. The part I enjoy most is how…

A pony wall can give a bathroom that little bit of privacy you want, without making the whole shower area feel closed in. By design, a half-height wall in a walk-in shower can separate the wet area from the rest of the bathroom and still leave plenty of openness around it. I love how much…

It is exciting for couples to share space in a primary bathroom. A two person walk in shower allows couples to shower comfortably at the same time. The layout matters just as much as the size. Separate showerheads, built-in benches, niches, and a well-planned center drain can make the setup feel natural for two. There…

As a designer, a walk-in shower with a wall instead of a door gives a small bathroom a very different character. There is no glass panel to wipe down or door taking up valuable space near the entrance. The wall can do plenty of the work, too. Depending on its height and placement, it can…

A no glass door walk in shower can make a bathroom look wonderfully open. I love how skipping the glass gives the shower a simpler, less enclosed appearance. The trick is getting the layout right so water stays where it belongs. Half walls, clever tile placement, and a properly sloped floor can all help. If…

Small bathrooms can be tricky, but a tiny walk in shower can still look surprisingly good. I actually love seeing how much difference a few thoughtful choices can make in a cramped bathroom. A clear glass screen, a pretty tile, or a little built in shelf can change the whole experience. Suddenly, the shower does…

Along with your front door wreath, a fresh coat of paint on your door is one of the first things guests notice when they arrive at your home. The right shade makes a plain door look striking and give a modern exterior some character. From rich navy and classic black to cheerful yellow, earthy green,…

Blue and white can give a living room a fresh look, but there is plenty of room to make the combination your own. A navy sofa, blue walls, or even a few patterned cushions can change the whole direction of the room. I like this color pairing because you can keep it simple or layer…

Some of the smartest bathroom upgrades have nothing to do with adding square footage. A few changes can turn a cramped space into one that feels easier to use every single day. I’ve walked into plenty of small bathrooms that looked tired simply because the layout, lighting, or storage worked against them. Once those problems…

Every camping trip has taught me one thing – a camper doesn’t have to be big to have personality. I’ve walked into plenty of RVs that felt cold and forgettable, others instantly made me want to kick off my shoes, curl up with a book, and stay a little longer. That difference rarely comes down…
