Project Reveal: Kirby Residence

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.

How I Styled my Black Baby Girl Nursery

If you follow me on Instagram then you already know that our baby girl made her arrival on February 6th!

We knew that she would be sleeping in our room for the first six months of her life but still wanted to have a nursery prepared for her arrival. In the midst of me running my interior design projects for McNeill Brown Interior Design, I slowly converted a room we previously used as an office into her future abode! Read on to see the space and get links to everything we included…

One Room Challenge // Week 1

I’m using this challenge to push myself to finally design and implement a space that reflects my style, on a budget, and using what I have.  Last year, my dad gifted me this comfy striped sofa that he found for $30! (I get my thrift store skills from him.) It's the perfect scale for my space, and super comfy, so I don't want to let it go! I thought about reupholstering it for this challenge, but then I thought it would be awesome to use it as a base for a fun mix of patterns.
