The River House Entry And Staircase Reveal (+ Why We Designed The Stairs This Way)
—
by
This entry is not the infamous family drop zone, which makes me just so happy. I really love how the architect, Anne Usher, designed the layout of this house. There are two exterior entrances that lead to the mudroom (up the garage stairs and up the side of the house), allowing the front door entry…

The Grand Finale: Mallory’s DIY Hollywood-Inspired Dining Room Reveal
A few weeks ago, we revealed my living room and my closet speakeasy, and I’m happy to report that I have one more space to share with you – my dining room! You might’ve seen a sneak peek or two if you saw the last two blog posts, since all the spaces are adjacent to…

REVEAL DAYS ARE MY FAVORITE DAYS. While the magazine (Better Homes and Gardens) is about to hit newsstands (revealing four of my favorite rooms in my brother’s house that you haven’t seen yet), this room wasn’t done in time to shoot, so I get to actually reveal it earlier (and hopefully get you excited for…

See How Mallory Turned Her Coat Closet Into A Speakeasy
Spoiler alert: this might just be my favorite project I’ve ever done. But before I show you everything, let me back it up a bit and tell you how it all came to be. My living room (which was just revealed!!) and dining room (which is coming soon to the blog!) are open to each…

MOTO REVEAL: How Mallory Made Her Boring Living Room Feel Homey In Just One Month
Welcome to my new apartment!! You last saw my 500 sqft studio in Hollywood, and now you’re entering my 2-bed 1950s Los Feliz pad. This apartment has been in my friend group for about 4 years, and we just keep passing it down to each other because it has a ton of perks: it’s rent-stabilized,…

How We Built Our Pickleball Court
I definitely didn’t envision a pickleball court here when we bought the property 4 1/2 years ago. Sure, I knew we’d make improvements to the broken tennis court we inherited, but I don’t think I had even heard of this “pickleball” then (now the #1 growing sport and so much fun, TBH). The whole thing…

Our 2025 Summer Landscaping Reveal (With Full Process)
I’m currently caught in the “why would anyone live anywhere else” fever dream that is “Oregon in The Summer”, and while I intellectually know there is no perfect place to live, right now, up here, it’s magical (and has been since March – 2025 was a real pretty one). This backyard is certainly serving up…

How We Made Our Old House Charming Again – A Front Of House Tour
The other day I realized I’ve never shown you the full front of the house – nor did you get the play-by-play of the 10 million decisions we made to get here (a huge shout-out to ARCIFORM – my goodness, do they know how to nail classic design so well). Every time I drive up,…

My New Prop Garage Reveal – Including IKEA Shelving (Non-Spon) And A Lot Of Vintage Collections
I am a new person. Transformed! The fact that there aren’t more before/after shows for the “chronically disorganized” (me!) is a real missed TV opportunity. Now, I do give myself grace because the amount of stuff one has to have to do this job, run this company, and create so much design content so frequently…

Hi everyone! It’s me, Jess. In case you’ve missed my dad, Les’, boomer dad gift guides, he’s quickly become a beloved contributor here at EHD. And while I couldn’t be more biased, I honestly wasn’t surprised. He’s my favorite person, and getting to share him with you is simply the best. (Plus, he feels like…
