Happy Thanksgiving from New Beginnings Design! Beyond thankful for your love and support! 🦃
Exciting news for NBD!! We are website official and I couldn’t be more happy with how it turned out. My hope was to create a space that answers any and all questions about how NBD operates and to show case some of my work. I’m excited to get more added to my portfolio soon and continue to do what I love most. I’m seriously living the dream and a day doesn’t go by that I’m not grateful. ❤️
How fun is this guest bathroom?!
Wet rooms have become very popular, especially in high end bathrooms. Essentially, a wet room is a bathroom that has an open shower with the tub inside of it so that water envelopes the entire space without invading other parts of the bathroom.
Wet room bathrooms have a minimalistic design for efficient use of space. So if your space allows, eliminate bulky shower enclosures and say hello to this show stopper look.

Talk about a labor of love! This space operated as a formal living room that shared a fireplace with a several year old addition on the other side. The goal for this space was to make it one large great room and expose the beautiful arched windows that were not in view. In order to achieve this, we had to remove two stories of the original outside brick wall as well as the chimney stack. You’ll also notice in the original picture that the back room sat lower than the other, so I had my contractor make them flush. The arched windows were updated to black to pop against the white brick walls. ❤️ #arhaus #arhausfurniture #livingroom #interiores
No need for coffee shops when you have this amazing set up at home! If you have the opportunity, run a plumbing line to your built in coffee maker to avoid having to fill the water daily. ☕️👏🏻 Photo credit: @photographie_by_li
If the thought of using wallpaper makes you nervous, try it out in a powder room or other small space that only requires a couple rolls. Do you have wallpaper rooms in your house? If so, where?
This gorgeous Butlers Pantry is what dreams are made of! 🤗
The hidden door feature was designed with intension as this room sits down the hallway from the master bedroom and I wanted to avoid it being the first thing they saw.
What you don’t see in this video is just around the corner we hid the double oven. It was important for my clients that they had one for when they entertained but putting it in the kitchen was not ideal as more cabinet space was essential. #butlerspantry #pantrygoals #pantrydesign #pantrydoor #pantry #customhomes Photo credit: @photographie_by_li

Storage Goals! 🙌🏼 Say goodbye to displaying your unattractive microwave and all the bulky kitchen tools. Clutter free is the way to be!
I am so excited to share this stunning Kirkwood kitchen transformation! Our vision was light, minimal but to still have enough space for all things kitchen and for an overall better flow. I was able to achieve this look by having a load bearing wall removed that originally closed in the kitchen. This allowed for not only a larger island but also a much more inviting space. The lower cabinets were repurposed by adding new fronts to the original cabinets. This is a great option to cut back on cost. My favorite feature of the kitchen is the appliance starion. This is a excellent way to keep your countertops clutter free! 👏🏻
Lastly, can we talk about the lighting! The evening ambiance creates a relaxing space to enjoy a glass of wine and gather with family & friends.
Eighteen months ago I embarked on a unforeseen journey, that only God himself knew was in front of me. A journey that would start with a tremendous amount of pain & loss that eventually would blossom into my beautiful “New Beginning.”
This home right here lit a fire inside me and ignited a creative side I never knew existed. It’s where I found my passion in life and where God revealed the gifts he has given me. This house represents so much more than a beautiful home. It represents bravery, hope, resilience and dedication.
To say I am blown away where I am at today is a understatement. I can not thank my clients enough for their support and trusting me to make their home dreams come true!
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

When designing your home it’s important to trust the process. I had many nay sayers when it came to painting the brick and I would be lying to say that some days it had me second guessing myself. So happy that I went with my vision! #brickhouse #brickhome #whitebrick #paintedbrick #landscape #frontdoor #window #custombuild #homedesign #homedesigner #instagood #instareels
There’s no doubt this sports inspired basement will be filled with lots of cheering, laughter, family and friends! The goal for this space was to max out the functionality by creating a great place for entertainment, hosting guest (Murphy’s bed tastefully hidden against wall) and still have a space for the kiddos to play! My clients become friends through the process and I’m so glad I had the opportunity to transform this space for them! Now we move upstairs for some updates and pizzazz.”

My love for Fall decor definitely trumps the pumpkin spice everything craze! For me, its the warmth fall colors bring into the home, pulling out all things cozy and the aroma of pumpkin candles that bring me so much joy!
Loving this throw & plaid pillow from Target and burnt orange linen pillow from Amazon! Such great quality!! 🍂

Happy Friday! I hope all you Mamas survived the first week of school! I thought I would end the week sharing my sons room since I revealed mine and the girls already!
Love this little boy of mine more than he will ever know! He’s silly, overly affectionate, caring, and loves to do all the gross boy things that make the girls and I both cringe and laugh all at the same time! He’s been the greatest gift and has gotten me through some of my darkest days.
If you haven’t already caught on yet...I’m slightly obsessed with accent walls!😉 His bedroom makes me smile every time I walk in and fits him perfectly! #bedroomdecor #bedroomsofinstagram #bedroominspo #bedroomideas
“In a field of Roses, be a wildflower my darling daughters.”
What a sweet little space for my girls to call their own. My inspiration for this room was the beautiful floral wallpaper. It’s no secret that I love a light and airy space. But the magic really happens when you pair it with a bold velvety window treatment! It’s such a fun balance and really can do so much for a room! This room has been a slow process but I really enjoyed finding sweet treasures along the way to piece it all together! Overall, I am really pleased how it turned out. #bedroomdecor #bedroominspo #bedroomdesign #bedroomsofinstagram
Choosing to have the kids lounge/play room off the entry way was a decision I thought I would never make! Us Mama’s know how quickly a playroom can look like a tornado touched down and let’s be real, daily clean ups aren’t happening. With that in mind I knew I had to keep it simple, functional, and draw the eyes to an accent wall and less on the chaos.
When done right, accent walls can be a powerful design statement in your home. They draw your eye to a particular part of the room, creating the perfect focal point. Plus, they give you a chance to play around with color in a way that you might not want to on all four walls.
Don't shy away from using a bold color for your accent wall. In fact, it makes more sense to choose some bright and bold so that it stands out. Isn't that the whole point of an accent wall? If that's a little scary for you, then at the very least, choose a color that's several shades darker than the other walls.
This wall was done for right around $150 dollars and the only tool needed was a miter saw. I had planned on nailing the boards in with a nail gun but it malfunctioned so I had to come up with another plan. Surprisingly, these boards were simply glued on by a product that that works so well I could hang from the boards and they wouldn’t budge. Going this route saved so much time bc I avoided having to go patch and sand each nail hole.
Directions:
1. Measure wall and draw up design on paper.
2. Paint wall
3. Purchase lumbar needed. Cut appropriately and paint prior to adhering to the wall. (FLEX GLUE is what I used)
4. Touch up any areas needed with paint.
5. Step back and admire your hard-work and give yourself a pat on the back! 👏🏻. #playroom #playroomdecor #playroominspo #playroomideas #accentwall #wallpanelling #homedecor #home #interiordecorating

Swoon over this color combo!
⚓️ Mightier than the 🌊 of the sea is his love for you. Psalm 93:4
So much detail went into this adorable shared boys bedroom. Upon request of the three year old, we added his favorite color green to the mix of the traditional nautical themed colors. It couldn’t of turned out any cuter!
Who’s ready for Spring?!🙋🏻♀️ The weather here in STL today is absolutely gorgeous and the kids and I are loving it! Hope you all have a great weekend! ☀️ #entrywaydecor #entrywaytable #entryway #springdecor #roundmirror #basket
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at the Barnes house!! My kids excitement this year is everything! Waiting for a few more items to arrive before showing the mantle completed. 😍
Garland tip: Layering and mixing up different types of greenery will not only give you fullness but texture as well. #garland #christmasdecor #christmasmantle #mantledecor #stone #fireplacedecor #fireplace #stockings

Built-ins are a great way to add character & charm! I made a last minute decision to change what was suppose to be plain walls and added these on each side of the archway. Tide in the same black paint that was on the staircase and front door.

When designing your home it’s important to trust the process. I had many nay sayers when it came to painting the brick and I would be lying to say that some days it had me second guessing myself. One of my goals in helping my clients with designing their dream home is to help nurture their vision and dreams and giving them reassurance when it’s needed.
I’ve always had an appreciation and love for older homes. I’ve spent countless hours driving around STL oohing and ahhing over historical homes. Deciding on whether or not to build new or renovate was a tough choice to make. After some time going back and forth I decided that I could have the best of both worlds so I picked up a pencil and started drawing (not a skill of mine) the home to give off an old house vibe with new bones. With the help of @tim_hollerbach_designs we we’re able to accomplish this charmer!
