location: San Francisco, United States
about me: I work as a blogger for businesses although I do a variety of different types of writing. I particularly enjoy writing about all aspects of design and creativity. I think that your home should reflect your personality and that it should change as you change. More about me at www.kathrynvercillo.com and http://diaryofasmartchick.com.
my favorite style: anything original that tells you something about the person who created it
my next house project: I am in the midst of a huge goal: to only own things that I love. Whether it's the mixer in the kitchen or the shower curtain in the bathroom, I want to love it or not have it at all. I'm getting there!

I have been thinking a lot lately about investing in a rocking chair. We always had one when I was growing up and I remember it fondly. However, I haven't had one in any of my own homes as an adult.
The main reason that I never bothered to get a rocking chair is because it's tough to find one that...
I always wanted to have a laundry room. As a kid, we had our washer and dryer tucked into a hallway closet. In my first house, the washer and dryer were actually located outside (what a pain!) And these days I live in an apartment with a shared laundry space (blech). Someday, I'm going to have a laundry...
I have compiled a number of different ideabooks here on Houzz that show off different color combinations. However, I do know that some people have a tough time narrowing down their design choices to just a single pair of colors. Some people want to use all of the colors of the rainbow in their decor....
The Chevron pattern is a bold pattern that makes a really strong impact on a room. It's essentially a series of V's laid out in a row. It's a little bit wavy but with more of a hardened edge.
Despite being a bold and tough design, it's a great choice even for the most serene of homes. If you choose...
