What’s Your Decluttering Personality Type?

October 13, 2020 by kaitlynloos No Comments

Today I want to talk about something that might be a little taboo in our homes this time of year. And it’s the frankly one of the biggest barriers I find people have when designing the home of their dreams. It might be a dirty word to some, but clutter is clutter is clutter. Let’s call it what it is! But I’m offering a bit of a different perspective. Because although I design homes for a living, I’m by no means a master at organization. In fact, when I was in kindergarten, I wanted to be an ice skater/painter/writer/dog trainer for the blind. Um hello, none of these dreams involved decluttering a house. I’m a creative type, so I’m motivated to make things prettier and easier. And I love to learn about processes for organization and some of the mentalities behind it. From my experience, I’m hypothesizing there’s five primary decluttering personality types.

Are you curious to find out yours? Keep reading to get more background on this theory or you can jump to the quiz now!

What’s IN & What’s OUT in 2020 Pt. 2

September 24, 2020 by kaitlynloos No Comments

So the follow up to What’s In and What’s Out Pt. 1 was a little challenging in sourcing the images for the what’s out examples. While there’s no problem whatsoever showing what we ripped out or changed in our current home, I hesitate to show client “before” photos. Or even pictures from other bloggers if we’re going to slap my “OUT OF STYLE” label on it! But it’s important to visually show you the differences of what’s in and out of style. Below is part two of my list of the top 10 design trends people are getting the heck out of their homes/lives in 2020.

Is Your Home Ready for the Holidays?

September 19, 2020 by kaitlynloos No Comments

December is historically my favorite month of the whole year – but it can be a lot! It can feel like three months crammed into one. In my event planning and interior design experience, I’ve learned a little prep goes a LONG way. Especially this time of year! But I’m noticing many folks having unrealistic expectations of what projects can be completed before the big “game days.” And this can add to unnecessary stress! So today I’m issuing this check-in quiz with straight-forward answers on whether your home is ready for the holidays or not.

What’s IN & What’s OUT in 2020 Pt. 1

September 2, 2020 by kaitlynloos No Comments

There’s a gal I watch on Youtube who creates videos along the lines of “things in your closet to throw away right now.” And I can’t help but respect the boldness of that! Especially in 2020; nobody’s got time to dance around what they can’t stand in their homes. So I’ve reviewed my recent interior design projects and created a list of the top 10 design trends people are getting the heck out of their lives in 2020. Read on to see part one of what’s IN and what’s OUT in 2020.

Why I Launched Virtual Design Strategy Sessions

August 16, 2020 by kaitlynloos No Comments

Happy Sunday y’all! While I firmly believe weekends are meant for relaxation and fun times connecting with friends/family, I know we can’t help but look around our house in judgement. Especially in these upside down times where you might be home significantly more than the past. Trust me when I say, I KNOW this feeling of discouragement where your expectations and the reality of your home are just not lining up. The struggle is real! So I thought this was a good time to provide my blog audience with background on why I’ve launched my Virtual Design Strategy Sessions. Because this could be EXACTLY what you need to incite great change in your home.

Closing walk through of the Ride-a-Red Farm! Obses Closing walk through of the Ride-a-Red Farm! Obsessed with so many thoughtful details we selected for this home. Of course the shower needs multiple encore videos! It’s hard to even do justice to how amazing this looks in person. 

Thank you for being an awesome client and allowing me to collaborate on such a memorable project! 💙
Designing the Irish Acres model home top to bottom Designing the Irish Acres model home top to bottom in collaboration with @curingtonhomes was one of our favorite projects of all time! We made some high-low selections, demonstrated some upgrades and options in the permanent details, worked creatively from a budget and had a LOT of fun along the way. 

And now it’s inspiring lots of little and big details for every client since, and that was *exactly* the point! 😍

Thank you @curingtonhomes for including me on this project! We’d do it again in a heartbeat.
