How about another view of this French Country inspired bathroom as an early Friday treat? Inspiration for this design came from both mid century modern and traditional style influences. The result is a timeless design that will endure for many years to come. Have a most awesome weekend my #IGFam. ♡○♡○♡○♡○♡○ * * * #bathroom #bathroomdesign #bath #sink #tile #banheiro #banyo #tiles #toilet #bathroominspo  #interiors #instadesign #edesignelevated #kasonndraleighdesigns #northcarolinainteriordesigner #raleighinteriordesigners #frenchcountrystyle #frenchcountry https://www.instagram.com/p/CCdXDJFHM27/?igshid=1s6vf9tcruc16

And here my friends is the other side of the room with the purple desk. Do you recognize the chair from another post? One way to bring continuity and flow to a whole house design is by the use of common elements. In this house, this cute little chair steals the show... Well almost anyway. There's still the infamous purple desk. Happy new week #IGFam. ♡○♡○♡○♡○♡○♡ #raleighdesigner #northcarolinadesigners #raleighinteriordesigner #glamdesign #kasonndraleighdesigns #blackdesigners #durhamdesigner #durhaminteriordesigner https://www.instagram.com/p/CCDMaL8nim0/?igshid=1avjnqs21i7tu

"Art & Love are the same thing. It's the process of seeing yourself in things that are not you." ♡ ♡ ♡ Now that we've all unmuted our feeds and returned to regularly scheduled posting, it's now more important than ever to keep the momentum going. I chose today's quote because it was most relevant to this dawn of a new era. When we all work together for a strong cause as we did over the past few weeks then we can make things happen. That was the most beautiful part. Take the time this week to keep putting yourself in the shoes of others who are not like you. This important step works for all races. When we truly understand that we are all warriors empowered by the light of the same sun then we have the power to change anything. Much love #IGfam ♡ ♡ ♡ P.S. This is the opposite side of the horse bedoom. And is also the room behind the yellow couch from the last post. * * #blackinteriordesigner #shareblackstories #supportblackbusiness #midcenturybedroom #midcenturymodern #redchair #kasonndraleighhome #edesignrevolution #homestyle #blackbedroom #darkinteriors https://www.instagram.com/p/CBNlMNVHzYR/?igshid=1pjmkxrj5fknx

Dark, moody, sexy... yes please! Does this bedroom designed by KLD make you want to #stayhome forever? I think you already know my answer.

Beach time again! 🌊⛱️. Our non-verbal autistic daughter LOVES the beach and ocean. We have been hitting the beach two times per day every day since this past Sunday. Each time we spend at least 90 minutes in the surf fighting against the waves. Combine that with the trek back and forth through the sand each trip and I can't help but wonder how many extra calories all that burns beyond my usual activity. 😄. It has been fun (but quite exhausting) so far. I have not been strictly tracking calories during this time. Primarily just making sure I hit a certain amount of protein each day and not sweating the rest, but trying to keep things within reason. Basically a bit of a diet break. I did the same thing last year on our trip and everything worked out fine. Do you usually loosen up your restrictions during vacation, too? #beachvacation #eatinghabits #dietbreak #ketofam #igfam #ketocommunity #livinglifetothefullest #familytrip #bluemountainbeach #florida2020 #beachlifestyle #beachdad (at Blue Mountain Beach, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAfXunNACUK/?igshid=7wb9tzkvyky8

On May 4th, 2020, Heaven accepted my mother's soul. My family and I are crushed. This wasn't something we expected to happen at this time. It has taken me weeks to get around to writing about this heartache. I wasn't even sure that I wanted to post anything at first as my closest friends know that I'm an extremely private person.  ○●○●○●○●○●○● However, I took some time to consider that my IGFam is also like an extended family. Some of you have been there with me from day 1's post back in 2015. And while I don't post private entries on social media, I thought you'd want to know about my family's loss of the beautiful soul that was my mom.  ○●○●○●○●○● We live in one of the scariest times of all our lives around the world. It's so important to keep your loved ones close. Hold tight to them. Speak words of gratitude everyday. If there's some kind of rift going on between you and a loved one then fix it now. You might not be able to do so on tomorrow.  Enjoy both the little and big moments.  Do not wait for them to become memories. Treat them like the nuggets of gold that they are TODAY!! ○●○●○●○●○●○●○● Having said all that, I'm going to end this post. Please stay safe and do take care of your beautiful families while holding them close to your heart at all times.  Much love #IGFam https://www.instagram.com/p/CAXXuQ_H0Qy/?igshid=ulk8igugahvw
