0 Feature Friday: Thirteen Acres

By Unknown | At 3:00 AM | Label : house tour | 0 Comments

Today I am featuring the home of Katie from the blog Thirteen Acres. Here is how she describes her style:

My design style is ever changing.  Never in a million years would I have believed we would build a house on 13 acres in the woods......but I love it!  I tend to stick with peaceful, soothing colors that can easily mix with different patterns and prints.  Many people that visit us make the comment that we "built a beach house in the woods."  How right on the money they are!!  I think overall our style if very eclectic.  A mix of country, coastal and traditional pieces that make us feel completely at home! 

Enjoy! 

  

  

Thank you Katie for sharing your home with us! Make sure you check out her blog here.

0 Gray & Orange Bedroom Before and After!

By Unknown | At 3:00 AM | Label : bedroom , my work , nursery , shop | 0 Comments

A few months ago Jenna from Q.A. Design contacted me about helping her with her little boy's room. Jenna already has really great taste so it was really a matter of creating a concept that she could run with. 

Here are the before pictures of the room. 

Here is the plan I created for her. 

We wanted a fun space that her boy could grow with. This plan introduced great patterns and colors and it's definitely a room that any age could enjoy. 

Here is the after! 

The bedding is from West Elm. The roman shades were made by Windows By Melissa using this fabric by Dwell Studio. 

The dark orange pillow was made by Erin from Plush Studio. The fish pillow is from Alice Lane. 

Custom Portrait done by Birds of Ashmae. 

The funky rug was found at CB2 but has since been discontinued. The gray lamp is from Alice Lane. 

The whale bookends are from Alice Lane. 

The turtle is also from Alice Lane. It's a little box. The shell opens! 

Trophies and canister are from Alice Lane. The boots were already owned by Jenna. 

The orange frame and dog are from Alice Lane. The elephant print is by Sarah Jane Studios. 

Car pillow is from Alice Lane. 

The fox pillow can be found here. 

I hope you love this room as much as I do. It really was such a fun concept and I hope that her little boy enjoys his room for years to come.

2011 was a year full of goals for me. My new year's resolutions included getting a website up, having at least three projects photographed and re-doing my blog layout. I accomplished all of those goals! It's been really great to compile this roundup of my favorite posts and some of biggest accomplishments from 2011. Enjoy! 

In January I attended Alt and loved it! I learned so much. I helped my sister complete a DIY sunburst mirror. Jett also got some new curtains.  I went on Studio 5 to talk about mixing prints in your home. 

In February I made notecards out of my old calendar. An e-design project I helped with was featured on Design Sponge. I started my "good-to-great" series with a big reveal. My dad enlisted my help with his mayoral office. I love adding "Ks" all over my house and in February I added a little color and glitter K to my office. After attending Alt in January I decided to make some big changes to my blog. I started off by conducting a survey and then responding to your suggestions here. I also added a new chevron pillow to my life! 

March was an exciting month for me. My home tour was featured in Adore magazine. This was a huge step for my little business. One of my projects was featured on Design Sponge. I started my house tour with my living room. I went on Studio 5 to do a curtain segment.  I revealed a before and after makeover of my credenza.  I also posted about an e-design board that I did here. 

In April I added to my house tour by showing off my master bedroom, Jett's room and kitchen.  I revealed an e-design bedroom before and after. I also finished Jett's bathroom! I busted my butt to finish my mom's guest room for $500. It took a lot of work but it was a fun project to do. My house was featured on Apartment Therapy. That was a dream come true for me. I also got to go to High Point with Bryn in North Carolina. I also shared some of my favorite designer confessions as part of my Confessions of a Designer series.

In May I added some much needed pink to my master bedroom! I also changed out my blog header and made some other layout changes. I continued my house tour with my office pictures.

In June I revealed a bedroom before and after and I showed another client project update. I did some kitchen updating. I was really excited to show you all one of my very first before and after projects! I got to go on Studio 5 to share some of my favorite etsy artwork.

July was a fun month! I showed off a living room reveal. It was an exciting moment for me. I loved how the room turned out. I blogged about another client project during the middle of the month. I had an e-design success and I shared the before and after on my blog. Summer brought a front porch makeover!  I shared a nursery before and after as well.

In August Jett turned 2 and we celebrated with a nautical birthday party. I also shared a little sneak peak of a local project I was working on. Kirsten Krason Interiors was launched! I was pretty excited about that. I threw one of good friends a sprinkles themed baby shower.

In September I threw a Peacock Bridal shower for a close friend of mine. It was a blast! I welcomed Fall by doing a front porch makeover.  I was honored to be featured in Latter-Day Woman magazine.

In October we had our family pictures done by Jylare and I got around to starting up a Kirsten Krason Interiors Facebook page. I shared a one hour consult before and after.

In November I shared an e-design before and after and I finally got my powder room done. I also shared a little chair makeover that my client did. I announced that I was going to be decorating a model home. I also got to share a gift guide for kids in House of 50.

In December I hosted the 2nd annual Blogger Holiday Social with Alice Lane.  I also shared my Holiday decor with all of you! At the beginning of the month I reveled a living room before and after makeover that I did. I had the opportunity to do a roundup of my favorite products for Adore Magazine. I also shared my favorite winter products on Studio 5!

It's been a great year! Thanks to all of you for reading and if you missed it last year check out the best posts and projects of 2010 here. 

0 Our New Year's Eve Bash

By Unknown | At 3:00 AM | Label : Holiday , me , party | 0 Comments

This year we hosted a New Year's Eve party at our house. I love to throw a party and this one was no exception. We played minute-to-win-it games until midnight. 

It was seriously a blast. We got most of the ideas from here. Some of the games included moving an oreo from your forehead to your mouth, knocking over water bottles with a ball that was inside pantyhose which was on your head and pulling out an entire box of tissues. 

How was your New Year's celebration? 

I can't believe it's already the new year! I'm putting together a roundup of my favorite posts from 2011. I'm hoping to share it tomorrow!
