I may not know how to do everything, but I know what things cost.

Last year a handyman quoted me $670 over the phone to replace one drawer in my kitchen (without having the measurements). So naturally I decided to renovate the entire kitchen by myself. One year later and I feel like I should write that guy a thank you note.

If you want to improve your home but don't know where to start, my advice is to just start. Pick up a paint brush, change out some hardware, or buy your first power tool. Trust me - something magical is waiting on the other side of your fear!

This Thanksgiving table is all about drama and depth — layers of rich color and texture that make dinner feel like an experience. The moody blue floral wallpaper sets the backdrop, while a deep burgundy tablecloth brings contrast and warmth. I layered in a Norfolk real-touch garland, dried oranges, pine cone candles, and brass candlesticks with long tapers for a soft, glowing centerpiece. My gold flatware, striking serving spoons, and dark olive linen napkins add just enough polish. It’s proof that a bold color palette can still feel timeless.

Shop my fall table setting favorites — from the table linens to the candlelight touches.

If it’s ugly: paint it.

Last fall while I was renovating my kitchen, I decided to transform my dark speckled granite countertops into a white carrara marble finish simply by painting them! It took me three base coats of white primer, and then I added “veining” by dragging a skinny paint brush dipped in charcoal grey paint and misting it with water for a feathered effect.

But won’t they get damaged? That’s where the epoxy topcoat comes in. The epoxy adds a shine and protects the new “marble” from everyday kitchen use. I’m almost one year into using mine and they’ve been holding up great!

The countertop kits have everything you need from start to finish. Full tutorial is available on AllisonSkiff.com

How to design and install picture frame molding!

It’s time to makeover another white box in the house and this time it’s all about the home office! I’m so excited to add character into this space and that starts with some custom trim work from @novobp @ornamentalmoulding

The first time I ever did picture frame molding I was stumped in the design phase, so today I want to pull back the curtain on my process. Mocking things up in canva and then using consistent spacing are my top tips to get that designer look for any DIY custom picture frame molding project.

I’m sharing the full step by step process today on AllisonSkiff.com

It’s officially fireplace season! My coziest room in the house is filled with some of my favorite fall home decor, burgundy, brown suedes, brass and wood finishes.

The fastest way to make your walls look freshly painted? A little pen that hides every chip and scuff in seconds. No paint cans, no brushes, no mess.

I keep a couple on hand (one for trim, one for walls) and label them with my Bluetooth label maker so I never mix up satin and eggshell. It’s weirdly satisfying.

Have you tried these before? They’re so good!

I love the brass hardware and added a decorative tassel for that collected, lived-in feel. It’s a perfect example of vintage furniture styling and traditional home decor inspiration. Shop similar antique buffets, tassels, and classic hardware accents for your own timeless look.

This vignette blends traditional home decor with vintage styling ideas that never go out of fashion.

I added a ginger jar and stacked coffee table books for that designer-collected touch. Perfect if you love entryway decor inspiration or classic dining room styling.

Welcome to my cozy, moody home library — layered with deep paint tones, vintage books, and brass accents for that collected look. This space feels equal parts sophisticated and inviting, the perfect example of dark and moody home office inspiration.

Shop the look: brass bowl, Ralph Lauren coffee table book, and tray styling essentials.

This dining room is all about timeless warmth — layered wallpaper, pleated curtains, and a statement glass chandelier create that cozy-yet-elevated look. I paired a carved wood table with sculptural candleholders for a simple but polished moment. Shop the pieces that make this moody traditional dining room feel effortlessly pulled together: brass curtain rods, linen drapery, glass chandelier, marble bowl, taper candles, dining chairs.

From a weed-filled rock bed with a few sad pine trees… to this.

Two tons of rock, sixty pavers, nineteen bags of sand, and a few too many trips to @loweshomeimprovement later—this backyard is finally finished.

The turf is down, the pavers are perfectly spaced, and I can officially say this one was worth every bucket of granite.

Sharing a full step by step tutorial today on AllisonSkiff.com along with everything I used for this project.

I found myself with a clean first floor for the first time in ages and thought: let’s do a first floor house tour!

Enjoy a spin around the main floor of my home. I’m proud to say some spaces are finally “finished” and you’ll see a couple that have some serious potential (hello dressing room I’m looking at you!) 👠

Do you have a favorite room?

So much progress in the office today! Step one was installing the chair rail. I measured 32” from the floor which is where the top of the chair rail will sit. Next it’s time for the picture frame boxes! I’m using a 2.5” space around mine so I grabbed 2 pieces of scrap wood in this depth and placed the trim, leveled it and then nailed it in place. Tagging everything I’m using for the chair rail and picture frame molding here!

Obsessed would be an understatement 😍

I’ve been thinking about adding a light sconce to this little wall, but frankly the one I wanted cost a fortune and with electrical work on top? No thank you.

So I set out to find a wire free look-a-like and my heart skipped a beat when I found this cutie. Ordered from overseas but worth the duty fees. It doesn’t get more charming than this!

Nothing humbles you faster than seeing what two tons of rock looks like in your driveway ☠️

If you caught part one, you know this backyard started as a weed-filled rock bed with a few sad pine trees.

After clearing everything out and laying the paver base, this week was all about finishing the layout and installing the turf.

But remember that diamond layout I teased in part one? I was so sure of that plan that I bought all the turf in advance… and now that I’ve switched to a straight design, I’m getting nervous I might run out.

So what do you think — do I have enough to finish, or am I headed back to the hardware store before the reveal? Make sure you stick around to find out what’s next!
