Heights Remodel Project Featured in At Home in Arkansas Magazine!

It’s been such an exciting whirlwind that I haven’t had a chance to announce on the blog yet, but At Home in Arkansas Magazine, our state’s ultimate home and lifestyle publication, featured our Heights remodel project in their May 2015 Before & After issue!!

(Instagram moment from when I read it for the first time… #memories. Follow on Instagram, @kjlemaster to keep up in real time.)

You can pick up the magazine in newsstands around AR today, or subscribe to receive your very own, glossy copy in the mail! What makes this being in this issue even better than it already is – one of my super talented, good designer friends – Brittany Nixon – has a remodel project featured in the same issue! This is the kitchen from her project on the COVER! (Go Britt!! *virtual high fives*) If you see this magazine – snatch it up fast! The Before & After issue is one of the most popular of the year and will be gone before you know it.

The Heights remodel is a very special project we’ve been working on since the end of last summer and just wrapped up – barely in time for the magazine photoshoot! The story is one-of-a-kind. I just can’t tell you how thrilled I am that you get to hear it first from an outstanding source like At Home. From the editor, to photographer, to writer, to everyone else involved – the team that covered it is amazing, and I’m so grateful to share it with you all this way thanks to them! I’m positive you will enjoy it and glean something inspiring from it. Click here to read the full story on their website, and enjoy a preview of one of the before & after comparisons below!

I die over that cheerful little office. Every. Time. I still wish it were mine!

Be sure to stay tuned this month and next for project extras, bonus photos, and behind-the-scenes that may be surfacing on our blog and At Home in Arkansas Magazine’s blog! 😉

Best of Houzz 2014

I was ecstatic to receive the below email from Houzz earlier this week and couldn’t wait to share it with you all!

I’m truly honored and want to thank each one of my amazing clients who offered up their time to write about their experience with Kathryn J. LeMaster Art & Design last year. It is because of your honest testimonials that I was voted to receive this award! So thank you, from the bottom of my heart!

If you’d like to read the reviews that contributed to this award, click here!

If you’re not familiar with Houzz, I invite you to check it out today. It’s the number one tool I use to communicate with clients in the beginning of their projects to share inspiration and ideas. Think of it as a social media website for everything house related!

It’s free an easy to create an account, and once you do, you have access to millions of photos to save to “ideabooks” you create for your home projects! It’s a great resource to locate building professionals, ask questions, read helpful articles… I could just go on and on. You can follow me on Houzz, here!

Thanks for being here today and sharing in my excitement. I hope you have a wonderful weekend and I’ll see you next week!

Stay inspired,

Guest Post on House of Turquoise!

Good morning and happy September to you all!

Today, I am so incredibly thrilled to be guest posting on one of my all-time favorite blogs, (drum roll, please) House of Turquoise! What a privilege.

The lovely lady behind HOT, miss Erin Olson Moser, is a happy new mama to sweet baby Wesley as of a couple weeks ago. Congrats again, Erin!

Needing to take a little time off with husband and baby, Erin set into place a great line-up of guest posters to fill so she can spend this precious time with her new little family.

Though I was just flabbergasted that she asked me to be among the guest posters, I was truly honored, and had so much fun putting together a special post for HOT.

So without further adieu, please check out my guest post by tuning in to the one and only House of Turquoise today (and every day really! Seriously, if your not already, you should follow HOT. That’s my bit of advice for the day.)

(via peppermint bliss)

If you’re stopping by my blog via HOT today, well then welcome! I’m so glad you decided to click on over for a visit. Please, make yourself at home, check out my blog and site, and feel free to leave a comment or shoot me a message here if I can answer any questions for you! So glad you dropped in, and hope to see you back soon. 🙂

If you’re hankering for more turquoise inspiration after browsing House of Turquoise – which I consider to be the mecca of this superior hue – you can always follow my Totally Turquoise board on Pintrest here, or check out my previous post on Turquoise, here!

Thanks again for being here today. I really and truly appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to slow down for a moment soak up some inspiration with me!
