BRINGING PERSONALITY INTO YOUR HOME DOESN’T NEED TO BE A CHALLENGE

We have a lot of amazing new faces around here and officially surpassed 3K of this MMDH IG “design club” recently, with @nicolearegan’s dining room reveal 🎉

I hope you are here because you love the idea of adding personality to your home!

You might be sitting there thinking:

1. Holy smokes, this room transformation is everything, but I could never make this happen on my own

2. Wow! I love this bold home vibe, but I don’t think it’s totally me

3. This is definitely a scroll stopper for IG, but is it really REAL LIFE practical?!

I cannot get enough of every one of these reactions [and every all-in response we’ve received!], as they meet every one of our goals for this project.

I rolled into Nicole’s house for the first time a handful of months ago, after working with her remotely on Designer Q&A blog posts AND an entryway project! Peek our previous collabs together in the links below.

Designing a space that’s 100% you!

I had seen photos of Nicole’s entire house, and knew immediately after talking with her that this highly visible dining room needed to be a priority.

Nicole and her family are FULL of personality, even little lady Penelope, who has all of a sudden started interacting with me after I shared a roll of painter’s tape with her 😉

While we wanted this space to pop off your screen, we more importantly wanted it to make Nicole and her family feel AT HOME and INSPIRED every time they use or even walk through it.

The goal was for this room in their home to be different than any solution you have seen designed for a similar space and a different family.

We followed Nicole’s vision for this room from the first time she walked into this house. The @calicocorners team helped guide the process to make sure we were not only getting the most personalized visual, but also a highly functional end result for Nicole’s family.

MMDH TIP: If you are diving into a new project, don’t skimp on your team. The benefit of having a team on board from the get go is that everyone is there to get an all encompassing game plan together.

Never be afraid to follow your own vision for your own home. That is the ONE key to giving your home PERSONALITY and function for YOU.

You have FULL PERMISSION to go for it. Lose the fear of never seeing it done before on Pinterest, or mixing up all of your favorite inspo finds into one space.

I am knee deep in building a support system for you via #mmdhcommunity. You won’t want to miss all of the opportunities you will have this year to team with me and some of my favorite go-to team members in the industry.
