|ad| My downstairs bathroom in my 1865 Victorian was stuck in a full-blown identity crisis—traditional, farmhouse, midcentury, and Spanish revival styles were all crammed into this one tiny space. While I’d love to do a full renovation of this bathroom at some point, for now, any changes I make…

I’m still shocked these gold curtain holdbacks were under $7 each. They add such a luxe, custom feel without the designer price tag - proof that small details really do make a big difference! Snag these hooks before they sell out (again) 🛍️ Link is in my latest LTK 💕 #curtains #curtaintieback…

Why are curtains SO EXPENSIVE??? For Part 6 of my 1865 Victorian Living Room makeover, I needed some curtains for my drafty stained glass windows and I was torn between making my own, or purchasing ones ready made. Since ready made ones are so expensive, I decided to go the DIY route. BUT… was it…

I didn’t know how much I needed a rechargeable table lamp until I had one - and now I’m fully obsessed! Can you think of any dark corners that I missed around my house? No cords to hide, no outlets to work around, and total freedom to move a cozy glow wherever the vibe calls for. So far, I’ve used…

I’ve always envisioned this corner of my 1865 Victorian living room as a cozy reading nook, but without any electrical outlets, I had given up hope of making it happen… until I found this cutie rechargeable lamp! It looks just like a regular table lamp, but I can take it with me anywhere (even…

It’s been two years since our @cozey couch arrived, so here’s my honest review: I’m still completely obsessed - enough that we got a second one! Our #CozeyAtmosphere sofa has been the most-used spot in the house. Between TV marathons, naps, video editing, playtime with Tuna, and catch-ups with…

Not all old home renovations call for keyboard warriors 😉 #oldhome #victorianhouse #diyhomeimprovement

Replying to @heathercoleman582 Since many people are convinced that I’m turning my 1865 San Francisco Victorian home into a sad beige house, I thought I’d prove them wrong with my latest DIY project: a giant, chartreuse green mohair ottoman! I struggled to find an footrest for my living room in…

The sign at the very end had me ROLLING lol #sfdecoratorshowcase #showhome #interiordesign #datenight

My DIY Fireplace makeover from start to finish 🏁 Do you think I did my 1865 Victorian living room justice?? #fireplace #fireplacemakeover #victorianhouse #mosaic

Fireplace Reveal The fireplace in my 1865 Victorian living room was a retrofit from the 1960s that was crumbling under our feet. The subfloor was cracked, the chimney column was damaged, the tiles were disintegrating, and the mantel was missing quite a few parts. Time for a DIY fireplace makeover…

Was it worth it? Remains to be seen. I’ll be grouting the fireplace tomorrow and fingers crossed it turns out okay 🤞🏻 #mosaic #fireplacemakeover #tiling #diyfail

I’m far enough into my DIY journey that crashing out over a project is rare, but tiling my fireplace hearth had me like 😭🫠🙈 #tiling #mosaic #victorianhouse #fireplacemakeover

A quick mini-makeover of our guest suite before our guests arrive today! New rug is 🔗 in my LTK! #guestroom #interiordesign #livingroommakeover

My DIY ceiling medallion was one of the easiest home decor projects I’ve ever done and it added some major “WOW”-factor to my living room! #livingroominspo #victorianhouse #oldhouse

|ad| For Part 3 of my 1865 Victorian Living Room makeover, I decided to amp up the “WOW”-factor with a statement ceiling. With 11.5' ceilings and an original medallion, we already had great bones, but the medallion felt a little small for the scale of the room. I extended it with wooden appliqués…

I’ve been itching to get rid of the green walls in my 1865 Victorian Living Room, and they’re FINALLY gone! A soft creamy beige color drench is a welcome change, and the living room is finally starting to feel like it belongs with the rest of the house! #colordrenching #rugsusa #victorianhouse…

My husband wasn’t a fan of the rug that was in his office, and when I saw the new @Jeremiah Brent collection with @Loloi Rugs I knew it would be a hit! After pouring over the collection, I settled on the Barrow (BAR03) in Rust - but it was TOUGH to pick a favorite! Swapping it out made the room…

Ever since I moved this Loloi rug from the floor to the wall in my media room, I’ve been looking for a different rug to put on the floor. And since the Amazon Big Spring Sale is on, I snagged one of my favorite @loloi rugs from their @chrislovesjulia collection (which is on major sale right now)…

I can’t believe this is IKEA! 🤯 My 1865 Victorian Living Room needed some storage, so I decided I would try the internet viral Ikea Billy Bookcase Hack to create some built-in storage on either side of the fireplace. Having never built built-ins before, I was intimidated to take on this project…

Was I going to let my WiFi cable ruin my DIY IKEA hack built in bookcases?? NO WAY! Rather than letting the cable grommet steal the focus, I used a bit of paint and creativity to camouflage it into the wood grain, and now it’s barely noticeable! Is it extra? Most definitely. Do I love it?…

The coolest spaces use home decor in unique ways, like using a rug as wall art! The tapestry design on this rug was too pretty to hide underneath furniture, so I moved it up on the walls to show it off. Now, it looks like large-scale artwork for a fraction of the price! Would you try this wall…

Rug or wall art? I tried both, and I’m OBSESSED! I’ve been dying to try the 2025 Interior Design trend of pattern drenching, and the new @Lone Fox collection gifted from @Joon Loloi is the perfect way to give it a go in my media room! This stunning Hollyhock tapestry-style rug has the most…

Spilling the beans on my next big DIY Home Project: My 1865 Victorian living room is getting a much needed makeover! #livingroommakeover #diyhomeprojects #creatorsearchinsights

New project alert: My 1865 Victorian Living Room is getting a makeover to fit in with my newly finished dining room! Stay tuned for the first project: built ins! #livingroommakeover

I don’t think I’ll ever be over this #diningroommakeover 🥹 The Clovershield House is finally starting to feel like home!

I’ve seen a ton of discourse (and millennial slander) on old homes and whether or not people have ruined them by renovating/painting/decorating and I have my hottest take: THEY’RE WRONG! “Character” is inherently tied to living, breathing beings - not four walls and a roof. When we think about…
