FOURTH STREET KITCHEN : DESIGN PLAN
Kitchen design is one of my favorite things to work on. There is so much opportunity to enhance function, make the space easier to use for the homeowner + there are all those shiny pretty finishes. The Fourth Street Kitchen was no exception. There were tons of challenges to overcome: nonfunctional layout, outdated materials and a […]

WHY I HATE FIXER UPPER
I CAN HEAR THE COLLECTIVE GASP NOW…But hear me out on this one. I don’t hate Joanna or the farmhouse style or even the shiplap. What I can’t stand is the unrealistic expectations this show (and basically every other HGTV show) gives clients. That said client then turns to me and says “LET’S RENOVATE—I’M READY! […]
