I started following Apartment Therapy‘s blog a while ago and I just love their tips for decorating! When their call for Apartment Therapy home tour contributors came through my Facebook newsfeed, I was excited! I decided to apply, but first, I had to get a volunteer to let me photograph their home.

My former co-worker, Jess, is a stay-at-home-mom/decorator/DIY-er. She runs a blog called CassStreetLocal, in which she chronicles being a mom of two little ones, decorating and keeping it all together. She also has a witty sense of humor on top of it.

I don’t know yet whether I was deemed good enough to contribute to Apartment Therapy, but I did have a fun experience doing my first home tour. Check out some of the images below to see Jess’s traditional style with a twist!

If you are looking for someone to take photos of your real estate, retail store or business, email me at studio@lovelyandlightphoto.com.
