by Naveen Shakir6 CommentsThe room under my stairs really could have been anything. I was using it for over a year to store my junk. It had no purpose at all. So to think about how best to use the space, I had to do some serious organizing and analyzing… Defining Purpose & Function After assessing my space,...
by Naveen S.2 CommentsLuckily for us, we were able to furnish most of this family room with the pieces that we already had. We even had space to add more! However, I really didn’t want to rush this process and wanted to be very intentional about what I was adding to this room. So the only way that I...
by Naveen S.Leave a CommentAfter about a month of setting up my new coffee station, I feel like I finally have a good understanding of what accessories have been essential in making it convenient. At the moment, I have a Nespresso machine, which makes the whole clean up process a lot easier. Since I will eventually upgrade to a...
by Naveen S.1 CommentDecorating for the season doesn’t mean that you have to change or re-style all of your décor. It doesn’t even mean you have to use pumpkins! It can be as easy as switching out a few things or adding a few extra elements to your existing set up. But the best way to really create...
by Naveen S.4 CommentsI cleaned out my pantry almost a month ago after a reaaaally long time, but I’ve been waiting to write this post for you just so that I could see if my system actually works! If it had gotten messy and unorganized within a week, it probably wasn’t a good system for us, so I...
by Naveen S.Leave a Comment[line] Guest Revamp Attempt #1 (above picture) – I had the room painted a gray/blue, and the furniture stayed like this for a very long time until I decided that the space would be much more useful if I could ALSO get a desk in here… Not. Smart. At. All. [line] Whenever I want to...
by Naveen S.Leave a CommentWhen we initially decided to make our extra room into a study a few years ago, I thought I’d be nice and let my husband make some of the design decisions in there. He chose to paint the walls a sandy/beige color (after I convinced him to not paint them red), we settled on a...
by Naveen S.1 CommentSome of you got a chance to see my planter project this weekend on my IG stories, but for those of you who missed it, I thought I’d show you what I did to a really large planter that I bought from our local classifieds for SR 100! This can be a super quick project,...
by Naveen S.3 CommentsI had always heard a lot about the famous furniture restorers/refinishers in camp, Mr. Mohammed Ameer and his son Daniel. I know many people who have been incredibly happy with their work, and Lucia, from Finding Antiques in the EP, actually used their services for multiple antique pieces in her home – the kind of stuff...
by Naveen S.5 CommentsI’ve been dying to incorporate something blush pink into my home for a couple of months now – it’s kind of my color of the season 🙂 I thought about painting our guest room pink, but hubs wasn’t really on board with that idea… So, when I found out that Annie Sloan carries a beautiful soft pink chalk paint...
by Naveen S.Leave a CommentI’ve spent a lot of time working on my yard. I’m lucky that it’s a large and open space, so I really wanted to make sure that I took full advantage of that. Since landscaping really isn’t my thing, I decided to focus on what I’m good at – decorating and maximizing the functionality of the space...
by Naveen S.Leave a CommentStorage is not really the biggest issue in my house… but what I DO lack though is organized storage! I’ve realized that you can have tons of closets and storage room space, but if there aren’t shelves, storage containers, drawers, etc., to actually store what you own, it’s not really going to work well for you or your...
