My Favorite Plants for a Desert Landscape
by Leave a Comment With all of this great weather that we’ve been getting, I know a lot of you are working on your yards, and some of you might be a tad bit confused as to what kinds of plants to use. While I’m not an expert, it’s been easier to strategize after experimenting over the years...
A Pretty Pink Yard Makeover
by Leave a Comment I have to admit, it’s hard to work on your yard in this country. The summer sun is harsh enough to kill most of your plants and to completely destroy outdoor furniture. So when Huong asked me to help her with her outdoor space, I knew it had to be super budget friendly, Saudi summer...
Mara’ina Exhibition at Ithra
by 1 Comment Photographer: Sultan Bin Fahad, An archival image from the Aramco records of the King in a car inspecting oil fields in 1947. The original image was flipped to show the King sitting in the driver’s seat while a man (mirrored in the reflection of the car) inspects the oil fields. So I wasn’t really planning...
Artist Profile: Naima Karim

Follow along if you’re not doing so already @thedesignsouk… So I did want to tell you that some major changes...
A Small Patio Makeover
by 10 Comments The next space that I wanted to show you in the #projeckking full home transformation is the little patio that Kristina has. I’ll admit, when I first saw it, I was pretty confused as to what I was going to do with it. It’s small and a little awkward… We had about 180 sq. ft....
