Warm Organic design is all about creating spaces that feel calm, welcoming, and connected to nature. It's one of my favorite styles because it doesn't rely on trends. Instead, it focuses on natural materials, beautiful textures, and timeless furnishings that make a home feel effortlessly inviting. For this dining room mood board, I combined warm wood tones, soft upholstered seating, natural greenery, and organic shapes to create a space that feels relaxed, collected, and perfect for gathering around the table.

  Welcome!  If you've been browsing Creative Juices Decor, you may have noticed there was a long pause in new content. For six years, I shared design ideas, DIY projects, bargain finds, and decorating inspiration here on a regular basis. Then a series of technical setbacks changed everything. I lost years of blog photos due to an unrecoverable computer issue, and after accidentally letting my domain expire, someone purchased it and wanted thousands of dollars for its return. At the time, rebuilding felt incredibly discouraging, so I stepped away. But one thing never changed: my love of interior design and inspiring people. I've spent nearly three decades working in the design industry, from furniture showrooms to independent design projects, helping clients create homes they truly love. One of my favorite parts of the design process has always been creating mood boards. Over the years, I've found that people often struggle to visualize how a room will come together. A well-...

Hi Friends! So, I been thinking about new home construction and how the times have changed in the past 10 years.  One thing that seems like a MUST HAVE in a home now-a-days is a computer niche.  We almost didn't build one in our home that we built 4 years ago but I realized if the computer (or laptop) didn't have a specific space it was going to be left out on the counter or dining table forever!  I'm one of those people who REALLY want to have a specific space for everything so I am very happy we found a little "hole in the wall" area and that is where I put my computer. Let's look around blog land to see where others have carved out space to fit their computer areas!  Utilizing under stair space is a perfect way to either add storage or gain a computer station. Obviously, these people had the space to plan a large built in area for their computer.  I love the soft green cabinets. Source This nice white built in has pock...

Hey Friends! Does anyone else have the DIY blogger epidemic where you can no longer throw ANYTHING away just incase there is this AMAZING idea that pops into your head on how to salvage the odd piece of junk you really should have thrown away?  :-) UGGH, this happens to me all the time.  It's not good for the cleanliness of our garage.  So, when I had the glass crack on my picture frame and "should have" thrown it away, the idea came to me that I should make it into a window cornice! (How do these strange ideas come to me LOL) NEW window cornice from OLD useless art frame! All I did was throw out the broken glass, Used the cardboard that it came with and wrapped that in bubble wrap. (It’s just what was handy, as that was the material it had been wrapped up in for the move.) Next I took a pillow sham I bought at the thrift store and wrapped that around the bubble wrapped cardboard. I just taped the fabric to stay together. (if the fabr...
