The light colored high ceilinged bones of the room provided a great canvas to layer the streamlined mid century... Read more

Hey, Kate Cabiltes here!I personally believe that the bathroom should be one of the most soothing rooms in your home and when I ran into this bright haven by designer Becki OwensI was absolutely obsessed. This already spacious white bathroom was styled to look slightly Moroccan by adding in warm global accents such as a kilim rug and turkish towels. The large round mirror opens up the space even...

A couple of weeks ago I showed you the progress on the master bedroomat Urban Farmhouse Project in Los Angeles. My lovely clients have the cutest little boy who is around Lucy's age. His parents wanted a fun, boyish room that could grow with him. He had a nice set of RH furniture and a fun rocker and ottoman. We created a cool wainscot paint effect and used some spoonflower fabric on the drapes.... Read more

Hello all, it's Kate Cabiltes!I can't get enough of this dining room by designer Katie Hackworth of H2 Design & Buildin Seattle. What she did with this traditional room in a 1930s tudor style home is calming and intriguing all in one glance. By pairing some modern pieces like the white table and leather chairs with some neutral elements such as the shades and fur blanket, a calming pulled together... Read more
Hi Folks! It's been a while since I updated you on the Urban Farmhouse project I have been working on in LA. Can you believe it's almost done? A while back I posted a bunch of concept boards mainly for spaces that involved lots of finishes (Master bath, kids bath, powder, kitchen, guest bath). Well, I sort of fell of the wagon and forgot to post anything beyond that. Now that we are close to... Read more
