I don't have overhead lights in most of the rooms in our home, so I love filling them with lamps. It just gives a whole different vibe to the space—the perfect atmosphere to grab a hot beverage, a blanket, and watch your comfort movie. That's why I decided to share my top 5 favorite lamps. Each one adds its own unique charm and warmth to a room, making it the perfect addition for cozy nights in.

So…I changed the color in our multipurpose room! I know, I know—why, Valeria? Why are you re-painting again? Well, let’s keep it simple: first, I don’t like to settle for something unless I truly love it; and second, I love change. When I have a new idea, I want to try it out.

Three years ago, we created this beautiful accent wall in the midst of the chaotic renovation of our kitchen. It might look like a lot of work, but it was actually very simple. The goal was to make it look and feel like the brick was always there. It took me a while to write this post, but here it is with all the information you need to get inspired to DIY. Spoiler alert: there were a few mistakes made, so stay until the end to find out what we would have done differently.

A few months ago, I put all our home projects on pause to focus on designing my sister-in-law’s primary bedroom. With both her and her partner juggling full-time jobs and caring for their little girl under two, I know how essential it is to have a calm and inviting space to unwind at the end of each day. That's why I wanted to gift them this special bedroom makeover!

It’s versatile, timeless and quickly became one of my favorite materials to transform spaces and add character in our home. V-groove planks are having a moment lately unlike the most popular wood paneling, tongue and grove. But this type of interlocking wood plank has been used for years and years and you can find it in most homes dated from the 1800 and later.

This is a small-ish bathroom with mostly builder-grade features, including the typical outdated glass door and glued mirror, not-so-great tile floors that, according to Brissette, were so hard to keep clean, and an outdated vanity and light fixtures. Honestly, it wasn't too bad because it was in good shape, but it was mostly outdated, and we knew that with simple and affordable changes, we could make it so much better.

We started working on our home right after we got the keys, but there were and still are spaces that where we can’t make permanent and big changes right away. The kitchen was one of those, we couldn't renovate right away so I decided to do some affordable cosmetic changes to improve the look of our kitchen in the meantime

This project was one of the easiest and made the biggest difference in our upstairs hallway. From cheap looking builder grade hollow core doors to beautiful and expensive looking custom interior doors, all it took was some PVC molding and black paint.
