The Urge to Purge! 5 Spring Cleaning Tips

Home Styling with Allisa tips & projects for an authentic home Hello Reader, Ok, I'll come out and say it - I'm sort of a stress ball right. Life has been coming at me hard and I'm using allll my strategies to deal. In addition to the usual, like therapy sessions, journaling, and my pitiful attempts at deep breathing - I also organize the hell out of my space. Tidy space, tidy mind - right? But, I admit, sometimes tackling organization can be downright overwhelming. So, in the spirit of...

Home Styling with Allisa tips & projects for an authentic home Hello Reader, In the last couple months, I'd had a whole host of contractors here. From kitchen cabinets to crawl spaces, there is work to do. And, I will be the first to admit, getting bids can be absolutely overwhelming. Whether it's just the sheer amount of time involved or staring at numbers you had no idea could be so big. (Um, excuse me sir, I think you added an extra zero there....) Well, after having worked on several...

Home Styling with Allisa tips & projects for an authentic home Hello Reader, Sometimes in life we end up being an expert on something we never expected. Like, if you need help finding the best oat milk latte in Oregon, I’m your gal. And, welp, I guess I can add 'home styling after a divorce' to my list of skills as well. Not only have I gone through the process myself, moving between a couple homes and a hot minute in an apartment, I’ve been honored to support others in creating their spaces...

Home Styling with Allisa tips & projects for an authentic home Hello Reader, Ok, would you rather deal with old, jiggly brass doorknobs or difficult to clean, speckled tile countertops? Yep, that's me playing the home design edition of "would you rather" over here. Typically, I avoid this game (c'mon boys, mom is not going to answer whether I'd rather go without coffee or chocolate, I refuse to contemplate such things...) BUT! When it comes to home updates or styling, this game can help get...

Home Styling with Allisa tips & projects for an authentic home Hello Reader, Ok, no messing around here, let's jump right into a topic that makes me squirm. Color. What can I say, I'm a neutral gal at heart. 🖤 However, I know some of you would like a bit of color - well, this post is for you! Of course, there are lots of easy ways to bring in color: From rugs to pillows and artwork, these are simple pieces with low commitment (hmm, sounds like a bad relationship from my 20’s)... But what...

Home Styling with Allisa tips & projects for an authentic home Hello Reader, Would you believe that at one time there was a bright orange wall in my house? Or that I once painted a photo frame teal? What about those yellow pillows that once landed on my couch? It’s true. These things happened. But, then, something else happened. I fell in love with neutrals. Today, I'm sharing some of the benefits of neutral decor (for those, ahem, who dare me to add some color) along with some other exciting...

Hello Reader, There was a minute where accent walls were just about everywhere. Everybody was throwing up feature walls - some of you might've been thinking, man, I really need to get me an accent wall... But you might also be wondering, are they still in style? How do I even choose where to put one? Like does every room just get it's own special wall? This week, I'm answering all those questions and more in my newest post, How to Choose Accent Walls. Accent Wall Tips For the record, I'll say...

Hello Reader, Sometimes, what seems like the simplest of decisions can be the hardest to make. (I mean, have you seen me standing all indecisive in the chocolate aisle?) When it comes to home styling, there's one piece of furniture that makes many folks uncertain. The humble coffee table. Well, I've rounded up some of the most common questions & shared my thoughts here - along with some of my favorite options. And forget pineapple on pizza, round or rectangular is the true debate! What size...

Hello Reader, If you've been here with me for a minute, you might know I purchased & moved into a new home last summer. It was a moment of pride for this single mama and also a huge undertaking. While my home won me over with gorgeous views and cool angles, it also sports some serious 80's vibes. I've spent the last few months tackling the walls, each with a bold or erm, interesting paint color. Like with my past homes, I'm going fresh, white all throughout. All this painting over teal,...

Hello Reader, Ok, true story. Staged homes and hotel rooms make me super anxious. As in, I feel like I might break out in hives. Why? Am I that eccentric? Maybe. But, after years of reflection, I've settled on the idea that really, the idea of something being too perfect just makes me uncomfortable. I think, as humans, we're wired to love authenticity. This means asymmetry, imperfection, and unlikely beauty. This is definitely not a new concept. Many cultures throughout history have embraced...
