Five on Friday: Volume 34

March 31, 2017

We’ve got another big mix for you today: some BIG tv news, a kitchen project from one of our favorite voices, a new art obsession, a very necessary craft project, and the drool-worthy home of the queen of daytime tv. Enjoy!

Stop what you’re doing RIGHT NOW because this is very important. Trading Spaces is coming back, people. This is not a drill! The O.G. home makeover show is slated to make its return to TLC for the 2017-2018 season. No word yet on whether any original cast members/designers will be involved, but if Hildi’s there, we’ve all been warned.

Possibly my most-favorite blogger ever Orlando Soria is back on Emily Henderson’s site with a series featuring his “Chateaulondo”. Come for the chic and stylish projects, stay for the hilarious, honest and self-effacing commentary.

 Thanks to a great feature from Architectural Digest, we’re now officially obsessed with artist Jennifer Guidi and her mixed media paintings. The multilayered pieces are gouged with handmade dowels and finished with contrasting sand appliqués to create an incredible sense of movement. You better believe she’ll be on our list when we’re rich one day and can collect grown-up art 😉

As if I didn’t already think I needed a cutting machine, this baby-shower invite pushed me over the edge. Somebody buy this lady a Silhouette, ASAP! My brain is running haywire with ideas already!

Ellen’s stunning Santa Barbara home is on the market for a mere $45 million. Ellen has been flipping beautiful properties for a while now, and we have to applaud her latest effort. The Italian-inspired villa seamlessly blends the interiors with the incredible landscaping, and the entire property is chic, stylish, and cozy. (As cozy as 10,500 square feet can be)

Have a great weekend!

Custom Cabinets: The Dramatic Conclusion

Let's jump right into it, shall we? Last time we discussed our new custom cabinets: where they're going, why we need them, how we put them together, and how we use them. BUT, we didn't get to the crowning jewel: the handmade herringbone countertop. I … [Read More...]

Playing Pretend With a Girl’s Nursery

Baby Boy Muratet has been around for 2 months now, and we've got just a few finishing touches to go on his awesome nursery. (It's really just those last details- isn't the final 10% of a project the hardest to get done?) But, we've also got two … [Read More...]

Baby Muratet’s Nursery Plan

We welcomed our little boy to the world on March 13th, and I've been working on a plan for his room for quite some time. Is it nearly done? Obviously not. But you know what? Newborns can't see past about 14 inches away for the first little while, so … [Read More...]
