We have been eager to share the story behind our recent purchase of what will soon be the official Upstate Roots Design Headquarters.

When I start on a room transformation, I look for a piece as my muse. Something I am drawn to that can be an overall visual to help me make design decisions on the rest of the space. Typically it can be a piece of artwork, a rug…For this room, it was this shower curtain from redbubble.

It’s Week 1 of the One Room Challenge & your URD Gal (Meg is sitting this one out) has signed up to be a guest participant! The #ORC is a community of creatives that are ready to inspire and get inspired to tackle & finish a space!

We need to understand that we are just as successful on our way to the end goal as we are when we reach it. Every step in that direction needs to be seen, heard and celebrated.

URD is so beyond excited to spread self love, positivity, and kindness around our Rochester, NY community with our #ROCitstheinsidethatcounts mission.

Happy Spring beautiful people! There are SO many ways to decorate for spring.
