What was your biggest decorating, renovation, or DIY failure?
I stenciled a wall once, and I hated it. I couldn't stand the colors, so I painted it over right away!

What was the inspiration is for your home?
I wanted our house to feel like home for us. With two little ones, I had to keep in mind that I am not only decorating to create a stylish look, but to create a functional space, as well.

On what items did you splurge vs. save?
I had been eyeing the leather sofa—which now sits in our living room—for a long time. The price tag was always the show stopper, but finally I decided to go for it. And we could not be happier with it. In general, I am bargain shopper and I save on pretty much everything!

What is your favorite room or space in the house?
My favorite room in the house right now is our living room. It's just a very cozy room with lots of layers and textures. And it's the room with my favorite sofa in it. It's perfect for family nights!
