I created a painted floor cloth to cover some unsightly tiles in the entryway of my Brooklyn row house.  I produced and styled a full makeover story for the One Kings Lane Style Blog. The full how 2 for the painted floor cloth project was originally featured on Design*Sponge. Click the links to read more about my entryway transformation.

Like a lot of other old houses, ours had seen some less-than-sympathetic renovations over the years. A while back I documented myentryway makeover, and since then I’ve been making my way through the house, one project at a time. With a few successes under our belt, my husband and I decided to take on one of the most challenging rooms in our home: the kitchen. By keeping the design simple and breaking the project down into manageable parts, we were able to transform the space on a fairly modest budget and dream up some ingenious solutions along the way.

Eva McCausland, a senior buyer here at One Kings Lane, had a problem: a wacky wall with two doors and mismatched moldings in the bedroom of her Brooklyn apartment. Although she loves the vintage character of her space, it had fallen victim to some less-than-sympathetic remodels over the years, and she didn’t want shabby (minus the chic) to be the only style note it was hitting. When she came to me for a renter-friendly solution, I scoured my Pinterest boards for inspiration. The sun-bleached colors and arches found in Moroccan architecture have been speaking to me lately, so I got to work translating that look to Eva’s room. The result is a Moroccan-style painted doorway that disguises the molding mash-up but would also bring character to a blah new construction.  Read my full my step-by-step how-to on the One Kings Lane Style Blog!

Looking for a new way to display your art? Old-school picture-rail moldings might just be the answer—after all, what's old is new again! Typically found in vintage homes with plaster walls, picture rails are thin pieces of molding usually located a foot or two from the ceiling. Although they're often mistaken for decorative details, they possess a very practical use: Picture rails were originally designed to let you hang art without putting holes in your wall.

Inspired by the American Trade Hotel's (in Casco Antiguo in Panama) ingenious bench cushions that are laced to the wall with leather cord, I set about translating the design into this simple upholstered headboard project.

Inspired by my favorite houseplants, I created this leafy arrangement using ivy clippings, fern fronds, and begonia leaves. Using common houseplants to create an arrangement means a summery green centerpiece is never out of reach. I also love finding ways to incorporate hanging arrangements into a table settings. (They leave plenty of room on the table for food and wine.) This design is easily adapted to adorn any type of lengthy hanging object or chandelier—here, I used a copper-pipe chandelier thatI made over the winter—but a small branch would work just as well.

Right now I can’t get enough of my garden. To be honest, it was kind of a dirt pit at the beginning of spring, but since then a lot of work has gone into it, so I’ve really been taking time to appreciate the fruits of my labor. We’d added a fence for privacy, but I wanted to make the space feel bigger and glam it up a bit. Having always admired the mirror trellis used by the ever-chic Miles Redd, I decided to try to make my own. I have to say I’m pretty happy with the results! Head over to Design*Sponge for my step-by-step guide to this glamorous garden trellis, and be sure to check out all the tips and tricks I used for my full garden overhaul on the One Kings Lane Style Blog!

Recently I helped a friend put some finishing touches on her DIY apartment kitchen update by adding storage and some stylish touches. My favorite solution is a pair of feather-covered lampshades. They are super simple to make and disguise the less-than-attractive track pendant lighting. Read all about the project on the One Kings Lane Style Blog and Design*Sponge

We all love a good gallery wall but, depending on the artwork, it can sometimes feel a little disjointed. One simple, and super chic solution is to use the same color mat in multiple frames to unify the look.
