Everyone has judged something in my home. At one point or another, someone has told me: 💬 That’s too colorful. 💬 That’s too weird. 💬 That’s too much. 💬 That’s impractical. 💬 You’ll regret it. 💬 Nobody else would do that. For a long time, I thought having great taste meant everyone would agree. That everyone would like me. When I was younger, I was the alternative punk rock kid with the shaved head and black leather jacket. Then I got older and tried my damnedest to be “normal.” I joined a sorority. I joined the cheered squad. I spent years trying to fit into rooms that were never built for me. The funny thing is… The more I tried to be universally liked, the less recognizable I became to myself. Now? I’ve found freedom. I’ve realized great taste has nothing to do with consensus. Great taste is creating a home filled with things that make you feel something. Pieces that make you smile. Pieces that tell your story. Pieces that remind you who you are. If it doesn’t do one of those things… …it doesn’t belong. I’m done decorating for imaginary critics. I’m done trying to make everyone comfortable. I’m going back to the girl with the shaved head who didn’t ask for permission to be herself. Be confident in your own “bad” taste.

I’ve been meaning to hop on this trend. Better late than never. “Hey mom, what were you like in the 90s?”

A major magazine once passed on featuring my home because it was “too edgy.” I translated that into: Tone it down. Make it prettier. Make it safer. Make it look more like the homes they already publish. I spent years trying to fit into rooms, jobs, clothes, friend groups, and versions of myself that were easier for others to approve of. I wasn’t happy, so I stopped doing that. Bring on the crazy wallpaper, weird art, naked lady portraits, strange chairs, and the flea-market animals. All the things people called “too much.” Too much was not a mistake. It was the point. I was not passed over because I lacked a point of view. I was passed over because I had one. There is freedom in realizing that “not for everyone” is not the same as “wrong.” I am no longer decorating for a hypothetical editor, resale value, future buyers, or the woman in the comments who desperately needs every room to calm down. Not everyone will get it. Be confident in your own bad taste. What did someone try to talk you out of that you still love? Tell me in the comments. Did you do it anyways? If not, do you regret it?

It’s been almost 1 year since we bought my childhood house and a lot has happened. I needed a break from sharing my world…to take some time for myself. Process the loss of my parents moving so far away. I honestly did not think that would bother me as much as it did. De stressed. Be still. Let the creative burnout that took over my brain pass…for a while I wasn’t sure if it would ever leave. But over the last couple months there’s been a shift. Everything feels lighter. I’ve learned to enjoy the process again. Finally looking at upholstery fabric, wallpaper, flooring, lighting, and of course window treatments. But I’m not going to rush it because this one is on my terms. Cheers to slow decorating.

My friend @lelaburris asked me where I buy my art. Oh man, where do I even begin? This is gonna have to be at least a two parter because anywhere and everywhere. I think the biggest thing is art isn’t necessarily a painting you hang on your wall. It can be a sculptural table, a lamp, a vase. But here are my sources: Slide 1: @where_is_frances but I would say the drippy disco ball is art, the chair (which I consider art and no one is allowed to sit in) from @dyphornewyork, and the pottery in the cabinet is from @scenevintage and estate sales. Slide 2: @vintagechicagodesign if you look closely it’s a bunch of lady bits 🫣😂 Slide 3: the gramaphone is from @architecturalanarchy and the guys are famous graffiti artists shot by @lanileephotography (set of 3 with only 3 prints ever sold - I’ll never part with them). The pink LOSER pottery is by @chrisheck1 Slide 4: this is the only print I think I have. Picasso - “Woman Wearing A Chemise.” I purchased her from @mariannedeley.stylist The umbrella is a lamp purchased from @carefullypicked, the woman sculpture is by Doris Rudoff (I went to her estate sale), and Edna Arnow pottery from @zovietfrance02 Slide 5: the paper art in the lucite box is from an estate sale and the painting is from @mydeerartshop_official I consider the sheep ottoman art and it’s from an estate sale as well. The neon light is by Rudi Stern. Slide 6: abstract painting is from @southlooploft Slide 7: is an original Martin Sumer from @gillianbryce Slide 8: an original Italo Scanga purchased from an estate sale. He studied under Picasso. This one being a portrait is considered one of his earlier pieces. His cubist pieces were more popular. Slide 9: the woman’s face is from one of my favorite dealers, @hitman_antiques_chicago. I also got the chain table from Hitman. Slide 10: graphic abstract by @tonycurryart Slide 11: this is one of those estate sale finds you read about in the news. The sale was only listed on Facebook in a buy/sell group. I was just drawn to it. She was $25 or $35 and she’s an original Gino Hollander. Slide 12: the piece that introduced me to my friend and painting buddy @zovietfrance02 CONTINUE IN COMMENTS…

The number one question I get about buying my childhood home is what are you going to do with a second house? Are you going to rent it? Airbnb it? Are you flipping it? Nope. I’m keeping it just for me. Unless you belong to The Dead Sibling Club, it’s impossible to understand. Last week was my sister’s birthday. She would have been 46. Almost 20 years have passed. A few weeks ago, we finally spread her ashes. My parents and I never really knew what to do with her. No place seemed like the perfect spot. My mom suggested, since I bought the house, that maybe she’d like to be sprinkled around the in the backyard. My dad and I thought that was a great idea. I don’t know if you’ve ever spread ashes, but it was a first for me, and somehow I got nominated to open the box. That was slightly unnerving. I wasn’t sure what to expect. If you read my blog post about her death, then you know about the mysterious feathers. To this day, feathers still appear when I need her the most and the day after we spread her ashes, she showed her approval. See, on my way home, I got a text from my parents. The entire back patio was covered in little white feathers. Now, we’re not talking about 5, 10, 15 feathers. Literally, they were everywhere. It was a big damn deal. I watched my dad on the ring camera. He stopped in his tracks, shook his head, turned around in a circle, and just started chuckling. My mom came outside and said, “Well for heavens sakes.” We have no idea where those feathers came from (Okay, we do have a theory. There is a neighborhood hawk and a missing owl, but srsly, the timing was uncanny). We took it as a sign from her that she was happy to finally get outta that cardboard box that had been tucked away for 20 years. We had indeed found the perfect spot. Last year was tough. Like it really sucked balls. Hence why you haven’t heard from me on social media. Lots of getting older milestones were hit. Buying this house has been nerve racking to say the least. My parents have now permanently moved to Florida. All in all, I’m adjusting. Finding my new normal. Thankful for The Boy and my kiddos. More in the comments…

When I saw my girl @msviciousdesign’s post about how she accidentally became an influencer (scratch that) content creator, I knew I had to post my own. Last weekend, I was asked, what do you do for your main source of income. Hmmmmm, that is not an easy question to answer. When I tell people, “I share pictures of my home on the Internet and people like them” they look at me like I’m from Mars. Then I get a barrage of questions. Swipe through to read how I got started, why I got started, and how I turned HOH into a full-time job. I’m sharing some of the highs, some of the lows, and all the inbetweens. Looking back, I wouldn’t change a thing. I’m incredibly grateful for House Of Hipsters and the incredible experiences it’s given me. I met a lot of amazing people, been to a lot of amazing places, and learned a lot of life lessons. Before I sign off of this post, I wanna thank you for following along because if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be here 🖤 THANK YOU 🙏

Treated myself to a solo date in the city because it was opening weekend for @randolphmarket and the weather was gorgeous. The SUCK IT shirt got a lot of unexpected attention 😂 To the ladies (and gentlemen who chased me down, thank. You made my day.) I was lucky enough to score VIP early access so by the time the crowd rolled in, I was ready to skidaddle. Nothin’ but time on my hands, so I made my way to @design.at.329 to check out Tim’s space (@dialmformodern). With the Kennedy under construction for the last 3+ years, trips downtown have been few and far between. Also popped into @benjaminvintageanddesign, @velvetgoldminechicago, and @circamodern. Highly recommend. Vintage shopping, Chicago vintage stores, vintage decor, antiques, mid-century modern, MCM, mid century Chicago

Okay, hate is a strong word and minimalism can look beautiful with really eclectic pieces. On the other hand, maximalism can blow a fuss in my ADHD brain. What you see here isn’t an assaulting amount of everything. I like a balance between the two 🤷🏻‍♀️ However, to surround myself with a collection of my many adventures? Where does this erratic art ho sign up?

The breakfast bar was my mom’s pride a joy. In fact, she installed this in not one but two kitchen renovations. For her, it worked with two kids and all our friends stopping by. For me, it attracted piles of stuff and it made this small space even smaller. This weekend we pulled that sucker off the wall 🙌 it was heavy as hell but I love how open it looks. The shelving unit from my buddy @zovietfrance02 literally looks like a custom piece. Shoutout to my BFF Colleen for making a last minute run to the house to make sure the math was mathing. SHAZAM it looks good!!!!!

Heading up to Devi Bara this weekend with a to-do list a mile long, zero plan, and unrealistic ADHD expectations for what one human can accomplish in 48 hours. Devi Bara has been patient. The track lighting has not…its days are numbered. Okay Devi Bara, we need to talk. This weekend’s hit list:” ✅ Strip the paint off that brick fireplace ✅ Hang the lamps ✅ Rip out the track lighting ✅ Ditch the curtains (sorry mom) ✅ Paint the walls white Obviously I can’t do all of this in one weekend, so where should I start? Tell me what you would do first 👇

Here’s a collection I’ve never shared before 🤭🤫🫣 when I go to estate sales and vintage shops, I always keep my eyes peeled for the naughty stuff. Yes, you’ve seen the nude portraits on my walls, but these are a bit more risqué. Can you handle it? If you have innocent eyes, you might just wanna scroll on by this one. Also, if there’s one thing I know for sure, grandma and grandpa were dirty birds 😂

Last time I shared my childhood home progress, I was asked, “what did you keep.” Furniture wise? Not much. I kept the beds, TVs, plates, silverware, Tupperware. My mom is a chronic decorator (wonder where I get it from), so the furniture from way back when is long gone. I did however, keep mementos. The things that would not be important to anyone but myself. The “good” serving platter. My Cabbage Patch Kid (but I think the original is in Illinois, I need to bring it back up here along with my Care Bear. I’ll do this again when I find her and Sunshine Bear.). The old matchbooks from various Wisconsin supper clubs. I still have every single bike 🤦🏻‍♀️ those actually should go, but until the next purge, they stay. Also, this took all day to make, so you better freaking like it 😂

Last week I was living a low stakes mystery. Behold the aftermath of my brilliant idea to strip the paint off the brick fireplace. I DIY that I left half finished, and I’m hoping little magical fairies will stop by Devi Bara to finish the job. I have one and a half sides finished plus a whole lotta clean up. My high school bestie stopped over and said, “How do you know the brick will look okay with the lady painting?” Well Colleen, I don’t. In fact, I didn’t really think about that. But now that you e posed that question, it’s all I can think about, and I’m just crossing my fingers. This is what the brick fireplace looked like prior to stripping the paint. Do you like the before or after best? Before answering, please ask yourself, will Kyla want to know your answer 😂 also, note that I took a wire brush to the mortar and scrubbed it until 3 AM…that was just Day 1. The paint came off the bricks pretty easy, but removing it from the mortar was horrendous. That stuff held on like gum. I hope I’m influencing you to never attempt this yourself. This is its current state of the fireplace. Can we start a design trend where brick is half painted and half not? Because it’s gonna take awhile before I forget how painful this process was. My other issue - I hate how the brick looks with the kitchen cabinets (which I didn’t love them anyway), so once the fireplace is all said and done, I think we shall start on Operation Paint the Kitchen Cabinets 😵‍💫🤦🏻‍♀️😵 Text from my dad after he saw my stories on Instagram.

PROGRESS REPORT ON DEVI BARA - It’s been just over a year since I purchased my childhood home, and things are finally cranking along. Over the last week, I overshared my experience stripping paint from the brick fireplace. I’ve decided I no longer enjoy that DIY and regret starting it. LIT-TRAP-LY HATE EVERY SECOND. Can we start a design trend where brick is half painted and not half painted? Asking for a friend. I also removed the valences in the family room and found out the rods were hung at different heights 😵‍💫 The breakfast bar demo opened up the space. Next up, operation wood paneling, paint, wallpaper, and choosing upholstery fabric for the furniture. Home renovation and home improvement, interior design, living room decor, eclectic interior design, vintage decor, decorating with mid century modern furniture

Is it possible for a corner to have too much shazam? Might have to ditch the melted disco ball to tone it down. It’s feeling a bit aggressive but had to share it immediately. I saw this lamp last May at @dialmformodern and haven’t been able to get it outta my mind. I DMd Tim last week in a total Hail Mary thinking there’s no way he’d still have it…but guess what?!?! He did! So do you like it on the fireplace? In lampapolooza by the records? Or another place?

Jumping on this trend and using AI to turn my son’s texts into an emo song. Gotta say, it’s a bop, although he was not impressed. Hopefully you giggle like I did while putting this foul mouthed ditty together. To put a few things into context, he just got his driver’s license. To earn some gas money, he cleaned the windows inside the house, apparently my office windows were disgusting 🫣 Also, he tries his best to shock me (see the health class text). It rarely works. He asked me to be a Karen because the AC wasn’t working at school and he was hot. I tried driving our old truck up to WI the other week and thought I blew the transmission. I didn’t, but it didn’t stop his dad from teasing me. I swear that truck hates me.

Jumping on this trend and using AI to turn my son’s texts into an emo song. Gotta say, it’s a bop, although he was not impressed. Hopefully you giggle like I did while putting this foul mouthed ditty together. To put a few things into context, he just got his driver’s license. To earn some gas money, he cleaned the windows inside the house, apparently my office windows were disgusting 🫣 Also, he tries his best to shock me (see the health class text). It rarely works. He asked me to be a Karen because the AC wasn’t working at school and he was hot. I tried driving our old truck up to WI the other week and thought I blew the transmission. I didn’t, but it didn’t stop his dad from teasing me. I swear that truck hates me.
Microphone check, micra microphone checka…is this thing on? I was chatting with some friends the other day, and I asked, “Am I weird? Like do I give off a weird vibe?” After the laughter subsided, and they realized I was serious, I got a resounding yes. “Srsly, what is it that I do that’s so weird?” Their answer, “I don’t know, you’re just weird.” Anyhoo, here’s a bunch of weird shit in my house. Fully embracing it.

PART 2 - Listing photos of the house I bought vs how my home looks now. It was fun to read your reactions of how the house originally looked 10 years ago. I also found out that I need to share more photos of my kitchen and my bedroom. Get ready to get sick of me.

Remember back in the day when I started sharing my HOH Regrets? (RIP hashtags) I kinda dropped the ball because a bunch of creators took my idea and ran with it. I got frustrated, took my vintage ball of fun and peaced out 😂 Anyhoo, I was reminiscing about the shoppe (RIP) which made me start pining away for vintage treasures I truly miss. So here’s an ode to some favorites that are long gone. Side note, did you know adults with ADHD use physical objects as external memory storage at higher rate than neurotypical people? Yup, science backed. Wonder if that’s why I can remember exactly where I purchased each of these pieces and how I styled them, but when I am hungry, I’m looking for food in the dryer but can’t remember why I’m looking in the dryer 🤔💁🏻‍♀️ Also, maybe that’s why ADHD folks tend to hoard vintage.
