I don’t know about you, but the design of an Airbnb is one of the first things I look at when deciding where to stay.

So excited to share with you one of my fave interior projects yet! I had the honor of designing a nursery for a wonderful client of mine, and I’m so happy with how it turned out. Nurseries have got to be one of the greatest rooms to decorate. Not only do you get to be playful and fun with your design choices, but there’s the knowledge that a little baby will be experiencing life and growing in the room you’re creating for them. Such a wonderful feeling! So when my client Nicole Silveira reached out to me with her ideas and hopes for the room, I obvi jumped at the opportunity. Even more exciting to me was the fact that this room wouldn’t be just a nursery, but a guest room as well. I’m very familiar with making rooms work double duty when you live in a small space - just take a look at my own guest bedroom/home office and you’ll see what I mean! So I immediately got to work on creating the most functional, darling joint nursery/guest room I could.

When my dear friend Lindsay Hollinger of Casa Joshua Tree told me she had bought a second house to turn into a full time Airbnb, I knew we were in for some interior magic y’all. Together with her bff and business partner James Burial, they renovated and transformed this 1,200 square foot 3 bedroom home into the ultimate desert retreat, fondly named #ThatDesertHouse. Lindsay and James spent 6 months on renovations and did most of the work themselves - all the time, energy, and love they put into the space really shows.

I'm so excited to be showing you our new offish redesigned living room! This was an especially fun lil project for me because I didn't buy any new furniture to create this new look - that's right, this is actually the same Ikea sectional we've had for years. The secret is these fab replacement slipcovers and wooden sofa legs from Comfort Works. Yaaaaaaas! If you need a refresher on what the space used to look like, take a peek below. 

I don't know about you guys, but I love me some before/afters. I'm always so inspired to see how someone takes a bare, unattractive space and transforms it into something beautiful. I wanted to share with you some before/afters of our old apartment - but a backwards version! Since I don't have proper "before" pics from when we first moved in, I took a bunch of pics a couple weeks ago after we had moved all of our furniture out. So the "before" in this case is the space decorated, and the "after" is the empty room. Hope you enjoy!
