I could lie and tell ya'll that my beach trip book of choice was something profound. Or I could tell you the truth and start counting up the number of Us Weekly, People and Ok! magazines I read : )
Hey, I did throw in a House Beautiful in there, I promise!
Interestingly enough, Ok! gave me some interior design insight on one of my favorite reality stars- Jillian Harris. And since I know many of you out there are Bachelor and Bachelorette fans, I thought I'd share!
She is so friggin cute, isn't she?! I typically think of Jillian as Ed's bachelorette or the latest member of the Extreme Home Makeover cast, but Jillian is also an interior designer. In fact, she's got a cute little blog that you can find here. Even more exciting, Jillian has recently renovated her Vancouver apartment home.
And you know how much I love a good house crashing (especially with dramatic before/afters), so straight from the pages of my favorite trashy mag... here is Jillian's beautiful home!

| I couldn't find a better shot of her bedroom, but wow, check out that fabulous upholstered headboard, gorgeous gray walls and white antlers! Love. |
Even her outdoor space is adorable! Love the mirror and weathered planters.
Are you crushing on any amazing interior designers these days?
I'm headed over to check out her blog now, I love what she did with her apartment!
ReplyDeleteOhhh I love love that first photo of the living room area. So perfect, Michelle :) And the antlers! I am looking at buying a faux set for my office! I think this inspires me to go ahead and do it!! xo
ReplyDeleteI like it!!!! The kitchen's new look is fab!!! I need to checkout her blog, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove the headboard! Stared at it at Pier1 forever, but the hubby says no :(
ReplyDeleteI didn't know she was an interior designer. I think she's so cute, too! I love her living room...and her gallery wall behind the couch!
ReplyDeletewhy do i always get embarrassed when i go to the airport checkout with my stack of celebrity gossip - it makes me cringe, but i can't get enough! love her style - she needs to come to my house. xx.
ReplyDeleteWow...that's awesome! I absolutely adore Jillian and it really is not surprise that her home is such a knock out!
ReplyDeleteI love her. I want her house! She has my dream job- being on Extreme Makeover...not being on the bachelor (;
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! I missed that one! So so pretty:)
ReplyDeleteThose before and afters are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love her personality and her style. She is so down to earth. I'll have to check out her blog.
ReplyDeleteWHOA! Those before and afters are INSANE! obsessed.
ReplyDeleteShe seriously worked WONDERS on her apartment. That kitchen is divine - and I love the burlap pillow in her living room. She really know's how to design a house....and dress! She is adorable!
ReplyDeleteOh man love what she did. Her apartment looks fabulous now! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAnyone who says that don't like those magazines is lying! I even catch my husband secretly reading over my shoulder when I have one! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post. Love her kitchen makeover.
Of course I LOVE Jillian!!! Great home. Can't wait to check out her blog.
ReplyDeleteGreat house! Will have to take a wander over to her blog!!

ReplyDeleteLive me some Jilly! And her incredible fashion sense!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Jilly! I just found her blog this weekend from one of her tweets and went through her entire website - love it!
ReplyDeleteI love how she opened up the kitchen into the great room. So much space was lost before. How many apartments and condos could do that? Genius.
ReplyDeletewow - I love the changes! who knew OK would give a blog post idea?? haha I could definitely live in her living room...
ReplyDeletelove jillian! it makes me laugh that she has both "spend less" and "go shopping" on her blackboard..reminds me of something i would do! loving your blog. i'm new to this world of blogging, please stop by!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this!! Jillian did such an amazing job w/ her place! She has great style... both in the home and fashion-wise. I really love all the rooms! Checking out that headboard now... it really does look like it's the one from Pier 1, and I think the comforter might be from Anthropologie.
ReplyDeleteI am pretty sure I need that couch and the gallery wall above it.
ReplyDeleteOMG... I had no idea that Jillian has a blog. Love her. Great apartment!
ReplyDeletei LOVE her kitchen!
ReplyDeletewow! what an inspiring space she has!! makes me want to go on a redecorating spree!! :) Xo, Katie
