Happy Monday, y’all! Did you have a fun weekend? We sure enjoyed our (spontaneous) trip to Birmingham! The McWane Science Center is a must visit if you’re ever in the area. Between that and the indoor swimming pools at the hotels, (we stayed at two different ones just to keep it extra interesting) our little […]
Happy Monday, y’all! I worked on THE most fun presto change-o for a client named Lisa Jo Baker this weekend and just *had* just share it today! But first, do you know Lisa Jo? She’s a really fun gal and the author of these fantastic books: Here are links to each if you’d like to […]
Happy Friday, y’all! Well, not entirely, I guess. :-/ I will admit, the news headlines (which I normally don’t even know about unless someone specifically puts them in front of my face- which they did last night.) have us feeling a little hurt for our son today. We also hurt for anyone else out there […]
Happy Friday, friends! 😀 Today I thought I’d share a consultation I worked on recently. Here’s the photo my client sent me of the exterior of her home: In her email, she mentioned possibly wanting to paint *part* of the house, but not necessarily the whole thing. At least not all at once. She also […]
Happy Monday, y’all! Today, I thought I’d share some of the photo consultations I’ve been working on lately. I partner with 10 clients each month, and it always surprises me how many of them send me photos of exteriors. I’m more of an “interior gal”, and have very little experience designing anything exterior (landscaping included) […]
Happy Friday, y’all! I had fun working on a photo consultation for a gal named Becky this week, and I thought I’d share it here as well in case anyone out there is seeking similar inspiration. She sent me this photo of their exterior… …and said they want to remove the arched windows and river […]
Happy Friday, y’all! I had fun working on a photo consultation for a gal named Darcy yesterday, and I thought I’d share it here as well in case anyone out there is seeking similar inspiration. She sent me this photo of their kitchen… …and said they’d love to go with more of a modern farmhouse […]
Happy Monday! I had the pleasure of working on a really fun photo consultation this weekend for a gal named Lesley. She sent me this photo of the kitchen in their 100-year old farmhouse: She wanted to see butcher block counters and white subway tiles, and she wanted the space to feel a little more […]
Happy Monday, friends! I had some fun putting together a presto change-o pic for a gal named Sindy recently and thought I’d share it here today in case someone out there is looking for similar design inspiration. It’s a small den that she and her husband watch TV and read in, and here’s a photo of […]
Happy Friday, friend! Thanks for sharing your 3 words with me yesterday! It’s always fun to get to know more about you here, and yesterday’s comments reconfirmed that I really wish we could meet up for lunch one day. _______________________________________ I had some fun putting together a presto change-o pic for a gal named Christi recently […]
Happy Friday, friends! Thank you for all your kind words on yesterday’s post. What a blessing to know there are so many thoughtful people out there who care about and are praying for our babe. 🙂 I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your company here from week to week and I’m so glad […]
Happy Wednesday! Do you know Danielle? She blogs over at Silver Pennies and she and her family live in a Dutch Colonial home (in Scituate, MA) that was built in 1927. She sent me this photo of her fireplace, along with the following email recently: Hi Layla, I’d love your help with our fireplace! We’ve […]
Happy Monday! A sweet reader named Erin sent me some photos of her living room recently. Her email said: Hi Layla, I have been enjoying your blog for years and would love your presto change-o ideas for our living room. We live in Kincardine, Ontario which is on the coast of Lake Huron. The living room […]
Happy Monday! A sweet reader named Claire sent me a photo of the huge hutch she has in her kitchen and asked if I could do a little “presto change-o” action on it. Her email said, “I have an awesome, but enormous, kitchen shelf area that I really need help coming up with a vision […]
Happy Monday! A few of you said you’d like to see more Pick My Presto features here this year, and it reminded me to mention that if anyone wants to send me a photo of a room they’d like me to “presto change-o”, you can always send it to LaylaPalmer (at) aol (dot) com. …and speaking of […]
