  • A closed door to be opened- maybe? Seeing this picture made me think about how I have some cool possibilities on the horizon but ZERO clue what actually awaits or if the horizon is going to keep just moving a few steps away from me as I think I am getting closer? Anyone else like me who actually enjoys the chase of the horizon just as much as they enjoy finding out what is on the other side of it?? #blessedinpossibilities #chasinggoals #whatisontheothersideofthedood #horizons #architecture #stainedconcrete #steelrailing #windows #woodceiling #gooddecisions #simplykristinaleigh

  • Anyone out there ACTUALLY does laundry in their laundry room🤔😅? Who is an about the house laundry folder? I have found that most people carry their laundry out of the laundry room to the sofa or bed. Sometimes this is because your laundry room is either no fun to be in or is a flat disaster! One of my favorite spaces to design is a laundry room in order to make it a place that you want to be in!! TIP: When selecting backsplashes, it is easy to only think about tile and granite but properly treated wood is also a great option! A laundry room is one of my favorite places for a wood backsplash because if you are going to have to do a never ending chore like laundry, you might as well do it in a warm and cozy space! #backsplash #woodbacksplash #laundryroom #designtip #simplykristinaleigh #gooddecisions

  • It is always fun to get to have a floor plan in a showcase of homes event! So much of what I do is large private estate homes so a public event where people can go see a bunch of great homes and get inspired is a real treat for all involved, especially me!! Thanks @thehousegoat for this beautiful picture of the plan I did for @ashingdonhomesllc 🤩 and a big shout out to @jtpstaging_and_perch for making this house spring to life!! #showcasehome #greatplan #designerkitchen #stagedhome #design #newhome #construction #kitchenideas #kitcheninspo #ashingdon #paradeofhomes #simplykristinaleigh #gooddecisions

  • I am on a super fast in and out trip to Phoenix and got to stay for a hot minute at a trendy hotel in a college area that I was super impressed with! Super fun details! Leather headboard, fun drain that says ‘deep end’, cool fixtures! (Swipe to see) Always fun to see designs done by designers who think outside of the box!! But I must confess, I felt a touch old in such a trendy spot and thought I should just strap on a fanny pack to seal the deal 🤣 #quicktrip #neatdesigndetails #trendyhotel #greatdetails #designingoutofthebox #greatdrain #funspace

  • Happy Sunday! I woke up feeling like I needed to share a tip on backsplashes behind ranges and cooktops 🤷‍♀️, random I know for a 6:30am Sunday post before church 😅! When picking what type of material will go behind your cooking space it is super important to test out how it will hold up to grease. Some materials will absorb the grease and over time the material will change. Brick is a material that will do this and in my opinion, in the right setting, it has a cool way of making it look authentically old BUT if you are not going for that look you will want to avoid materials like brick or marbles. Of course the best way to test out how the material will fair is the get a sample piece of the material and let oil sit on it for a couple of days and see what it does. If you are a person who will scrub the snot out of the backsplash to make sure it looks brand new, you will want to make sure you can wipe that oil off with zero issues! #buildingadvice #backsplash #gooddecisions #brick #tile #range #wolfrange #cooktop #stove #howtoclean #testyourmaterial #backsplashoptions #mustbeprettyandfunctional #kitchen #yumminess #simplykristinaleigh

  • Have you ever had to hit the pause button on something in business that you love? I came across this picture and can’t believe how this was the last project I did before I had to hit the pause button on my life as a designer and focus on my kids health. How funny to look back now with relief that my kids, whom I adore to my core, are in great health and I was able to take my finger off pause just over a year ago! I sure love being back in the world of design and construction 😍. But isn’t life funny, because of how busy I am with design I am now having to hit pause on other things... sometimes I think God put me in a hamster wheel to teach me lessons that I just can’t seem to grasp 🤣. So for now I will keep running on that wheel! #memorylane #design #hitpause #unpause #newpause #hamsterwheel #lessons #alwayslearning #design #construction #architecture
