No, I’m not mispronouncing Valentine’s Day, and this is not my invention! Galentine’s Day is February 13th and it is a day that women can celebrate their friendship and sisterhood by sharing fun memories. This holiday was introduced on the popular TV show Parks and Recreation in 2010 and has been growing in popularity ever since. Some like to enjoy delicious food together, share gifts, or even try new experiences all in celebration of their love for each other. I don’t know about you, but I love my girlfriends and we all are stretched thin with little time left to actually enjoy each other. Read this post to learn about Galentine’s Day celebration ideas.

You may be like me and still checking off gifts for friends and family on your Christmas list. Some people are so hard to buy for! Did you know that Walmart has a gorgeous line of small kitchen appliances by Drew Barrymore called Beautiful? I purchased the black toaster from this collection a couple of years ago when we moved and have loved it ever since. She has continued to expand her line and has added some really handsome appliances to the line that would impress anyone as a Christmas gift.

I know, I know. You don’t even have to make me feel worse than I already do about keeping you out of the loop on what’s been going on this year at MBID. I apologize! But that’s not what this post is about. This post is about an amazing project that I completed earlier this year that you NEED to see. It’s truly a testament to how you can customize any space within your home to work for you! My client purchased this new construction home for herself after years of renting, which allowed her to finally create the home office of her dreams. This space is immediately inside the front door of her home, which may traditionally be intended for a sitting or dining room. On the other side of that wall was her living room area, which at the time of our consultation was filled with worn-out furniture and knick-knacks brought from her previous home. Here is what the spaces looked like when we got started.

You guys! I am so thrilled to share that I am featured in the March 2019 edition of Southern Living magazine. It’s so surreal to see my face in print! Keep reading to see behind the scenes photos + a video interview with my local news station.

The weather in NC is always unpredictable this time of year! This week alone, we’ve had what feels like 3 different seasons in one. My go to outfits always revolve around black but my secret to looking stylish in a the cold is to throw on a statement coat.

Look at what you’re wearing right now. Or better yet, think about your favorite outfit. Now look at how your living room is decorated. Does it match your personal style? So often, I meet stylish people who haven’t taken the same amount of care in designing their home. I love Auntie Oprah’s saying..”your home should rise up to meet when you walk in the door.” Is that how you feel when you come into your home?
