    Room Inspiration – Kristin Alber Style

    I stumbled onto a home tour online a couple of weeks ago, that instantly had me scooting my chair up closer to my monitor. There were so many little details I wanted to lock in my brain! The house is located in Mesa, Arizona and belongs to a sweet gal named Kristin Alber. Check it out…

    When asked about her personal style in a recent interview, Kristin said, “We’re definitely go-with-the-flow kind of people. We like to repaint, switch out decorations, and mix things up a bit. It’s fun for us.“ My kinda people!

    She also mentioned that they try to find pieces that are special and can fit several different styles. Love that!

    Kristin and her husband, Dan, own two retail shops in Mesa- Domestic Bliss and Found.

    Anybody up for a road trip?

    PS- You can find Kristin at her blogs, Found and Domestic Bliss, and she’s also on Twitter and on Facebook!

      I cannot believe that this Ouse is in Mesa, mostly due to the lack of popcorny/stucco interior walls and bland desert paint colors. It’s gorgeous.

          Hi Lisa & Haley,
          Most of the natural wood/ reclaimed wood pieces come from various manufacturers that we carry in our shops- We LOVE the thrill of the hunt and shop flea markets and antique shows and have many vintage pieces throughout our home and shops. The headboard, family room television cabinet, hallway piece beneath the artwall and storage piece beneath the shelving are all reproduction pieces that we carry and can order. We adore the old- but find that most of our clients want the sturdiness and functionality of the reproduction pieces for their decorating projects. Happy decorating!

      Adore her bath vanity. I don’t care for basin style sinks normally because I don’t think they are practical (I have to wash my hands at a very awkward angle), but that one is incorporated more into the vanity. Very cool.

      This incredible woman and her beautiful home are three doors down from me. Her vision is outstanding, and let me tell you, she is as sweet as they come. Generous and loving, she is a great mother and friend as well as a kind person. I feel honored to know her. You couldn’t have featured a more deserving woman. :)

      FOUND is an amazing store! Dorie Understiller has many items from FOUND in her home too. You should stop by her blog, (tuesdayswithdorie.blogspot.com) to see the amazing renovation they did. Their home is fabulous as well! They don’t make houses like that in AZ anymore. Such a shame.

      What a stunning home! I simply love the decor. Simple yet creative. And the curtains in the dining room/living room are just fantastic. Even though they have a lot going on, they match the overall feel of each room perfectly. What type of curtains are they?

      I am one lucky girl- I live in Mesa and her store is about 10 min from my house. She also throws a basement sale about once a month and it’s a great place to pick up treasures at bargain prices. I’ve met Kristin while visiting/living in the store and she’s beyond sweet and helpful.

      Can you tell me where he blue/cream chandelier is from in the bedroom? Also your desk and round table in your bedroom? Do you carry those?

      I love this style. I am a new at interior design. I have always enjoyed watching design shows and flipping through design books, but recently my parents bought a rental house on the beach and asked me to head up the design. I am definitely going to bookmark this page because these rooms manage to remain casual, trendy and livable! That is exactly the feel I want for the house I’m working on.
