Which rug would you choose? Working on a client project now and these are my Top 4 choices. We'll be doing red as an accent so I put a "pillow" on the sample sofa, albeit the wrong shade of red. Tell Mr. Client what you think he should select!

I mentioned a few weeks ago that in downsizing to the townhouse I went from 13 kitchen drawers to 2.5. My solution? Baskets on top of the upper cabinets. 2 make up my previous junk drawer. One holds my grill tools. Another all of the warranties & booklets to various appliances. It may not be a high end designer kitchen but we are enjoying the downsizing. #organizing #organizationideas

Everything about this pic tells me I am putty in her hands…

Hubby and I went to a family wedding in southern Indiana in early June and decided to make a mini vacay of it. Did brunch and a river cruise on the Belle of Louisville. Always enjoy time trying new things but it was quite chilly Memorial Day weekend AND Kentucky was still quite shut down so no bourbon trail for us. 😢

This kitchen turned out even more stunning than I had imagined - and I have quite an imagination!! When I was asked my favorite thing about it 👆this was my answer at the time. But honestly… it truly was how much D&T loved it. Design by Crystal Ortiz. Photo by @thedowntowncreative and credit to the contractor @mintconstructionva

Update: we have settled into our temporary townhouse and I had posted about the wall color. I picked up a chair at (gasp!) Homegoods to fill in this corner. The better stuff will come when the house is built but I just L❤️VE this mustard yellow with my Benjamin Moore Bali walls. And random kitty toys I throw back down the stairs each morning…

8/8/2021, 12:49:57 AM

When the cabinets came in the wrong color we had to pivot!! I showed Mrs. Client how we could still make these work with a different back splash. And how black grout would enhance the design vs. a lighter grout that would disappear. From the Preston Lake Basement in 2019. One of my favorite projects!

So excited to finally share the #barringtonkitchen project. Black walls make everything POP in here. Many thanks to @mintconstructionva & @thedowntowncreative who were gracious enough to share a few pics while I wait for my guy to send his my way.

7/21/2021, 8:23:04 PM

Moving in to our new home over the past couple weeks. I had the main areas painted Benjamin Moore’s “Bali” (702). Still a mountain of unpacking to do. Downsizing from 3000 square feet to 1400 isn’t easy. I’m going from 13 kitchen drawers to 3! I’ll share my creative solutions later... I presented hubby with several color palettes and this was what he picked. I’m loving it!!

We all love a good flatlay, and this one is for a custom window treatment project I'm working on. Ms. Client wants new drapery panels for her living room with new hardware. The home has a lot of wood and she likes to switch her furniture up a bit, so staying neutral was important to her. She selected this great fabric and metal hardware - stay tuned in a few weeks to see the final results! . . . #flatlay #fabrics #draperyfabric #customwindowtreatments #customwindows #customdrapery #mcgaheysvilleva #bluestonedecorating #duchessofdecorating #flatlaywednesday #embroideredfabric #kirschhardware #houseandhome #interiorstyled #lovelyinterior #neutraldecor #neutraldecorating #interiordesign #interiordecorating #harrisonburgva #shenandoahvalley #virginiadecorator #virginialiving #flatlaystyle #flatlayoftheday #decorcrushing #styleathome #livingroomdesign #homedecorating

It’s here! The #BestOfVirginia2021 issue and I am so overcome with emotion at the moment. Bluestone Decorating by Crystal Ortiz was Voted Top Interior Design Firm in the Shenandoah Valley. So many of you supported me with your votes and confidence and referrals over the past few years. I am humbled, blessed, and beyond words right now, except to say THANK YOU. My sidekick Katie @kt_bellz and I are looking forward to more fabulous clients as we move forward.

One of the reasons Hubby & I love #hanksbbq is the atmosphere. These lil guys were watching us enjoy our appetizers & #bluemoonbeer with a shared rack of ribs. Fun art!

5/4/2021, 1:56:50 AM

About 4 years ago I bought some pink Peonies to plant. Told hubby about them but evidently I speak with an accent and he thought I said pink PANTIES. We laugh about that often now but this is the first year I’ve gotten blooms. Cut them and brought them into the kitchen to enjoy. Y’all know I have a black thumb so this is a happy day! Have a wonderful Sunday!

Recently had the pleasure of sharing a project I designed on Mint Construction’s series “Love Where You Live”. Stay tuned for the Big Reveal! @mintconstructionva

4/30/2021, 4:27:08 PM

More progress in the #barringtonkitchenproject last week. Cherry toned hood & tile going in. Live edge shelves being installed. Counters went in last week. It’s going to be stunning! Mr. & Mrs. Client are getting giddy. I’m hosting an Open House Reveal party on May 18th, if you’re local and would like details send a DM and I will tell you more.

Monday Madness! Last week I got my 2nd vaccine shot, spent a day in bed recovering, then shopping with my client for the #barringtonkitchen project all day Friday. On Saturday we threw a #babyshower for my oldest daughter. Now that the house is under contract, the realization that it may be the last time all 5 of us were here together made my eyes watery. 😢 This photo of my 3 babies (and future granddaughter) reminded me of the 13-ish First Day of School pics I’ve taken of my trio. Wishing everyone a Happy Monday as my phone and email continue blowing up on this first day back in the office. So much to do! So many Blessings!

4/26/2021, 8:16:39 PM

Elevating Mr. Client’s request for open shelving in his new kitchen with LIVE EDGE custom built shelves. I truly love taking a basic request and pushing boundaries. Still a ton to do here but this was exciting to see! Installation by @mintconstructionva , design by Crystal Ortiz.

4/9/2021, 3:47:40 PM

We are selling our house and gave our dining room furniture to the oldest this weekend. To prevent anyone (specifically, me) from walking into the chandelier, I placed a tea table under it. My cat Jake is not impressed with my design skills. House listing goes live this week! Guess I need to do some actual Staging here...

WTF - It's Window Treatment Friday! And these windows are stunning. @smithlandcustominteriors and I worked together to design & create these gorgeous panels, with blackout shades that will lower for Mr. & Mrs. Client when the glare of the sun makes watching TV difficult.

Floor refinishing in the #BarringtonKitchenProject is complete and Drywall will go in this weekend. As always working with @mintconstructionva is fantastic. Estimated Completion Date April 9th. Mr. & Mrs. client living in the basement for now 😢 but it will be worth it in the end.

Happy 👒 St. Patrick’s Day 🍀🌈! Let me just add one more photo to all of the green in your feed – and if you’re like me you’ll be green with envy that this isn’t your own dining room. I love Kelly green paired with a sunny yellow and navy blue. But even pastel versions of that color palette make me happy too. Design by Crystal Ortiz, Bluestone Decorating. Wishing you all a safe & happy day. Remember to get a ride home if you need it. Hubby and I are planning to visit a local Irish pub for a pint with dinner.

Blue gravel glass film is a very good decorative film. It can not only be used for window decoration, but also can be used as a protective article in the bathroom. Link in bio! #windowfilms #windowdisplay #windowsticker #decorativewindowfilm #bluestonedecorating #bluelove

WTF – It’s Window Treatment Friday!! . . A little throwback to the Fall 2019 One Room Challenge when I did our Master Bedroom. My gorgeous custom window treatments (and bedding!) created by Heidi at @smithlandcustominteriors . Once you’ve tried custom windows, you’ll never settle for stock. And the blackout shades are a luxury I didn’t realize we were missing, either. . . Who is gearing up to participate in the ORC this spring? I’m selling my house but plan to participate when we settle into our new one. I’m sure I’ll have plenty of things to keep me busy.

Hey baby, what’s your sign? ♊️ Gemini here. The curious, fun-loving split personality. I found these cute kitchen towels a few weeks ago and I have a “thing” for kitchen towels. Couldn’t resist picking them up. 💖 Do you have a weakness for something, when you see it you just HAVE to “add to cart”? #kitchentowels #gemini #whatsyoursign

2/22/2021, 2:34:17 PM

This was the project that almost (emotionally) killed me. I seriously contemplated retirement. But the thing is, I love what I do. I can look back now and see where things got off the rails, and appreciate that not everyone is the right client for me. My sweet assistant @kt_bellz helped me complete this one and solidified a spot in my ❤️. In the end the client got a beautiful kitchen, eat-in dining space, and powder room. #kitchendesign #asianinspired #massanutten

2/20/2021, 7:22:04 PM

Hope everyone is safe & staying as warm as possible today. Hubby & son are working to clear the driveway. Daughter & I are working from home and chatting about the insane apartment prices in the Valley. Both kids on the hunt if you know of anything reasonable that is NOT student housing. #snowdays #virginiaweather

Life hacks: 1- Pay attention to the smell of your home when you come back from a trip - that's what it smells like to guests all the time, you just get used to it. 2- When a friend is upset, ask him one simple question before saying anything else: “Do you want to talk about it or do you want to distract from it? ” 3- Keep inviting that friend who always says No. 4- It is important to know when to stop arguing people, and simply let them be wrong. 5- After a bad break up, do 10 things that your ex would never do with you . You'll feel better and realize how much of yourself was being held back. 6- If you want to learn a new language, figure out the 100 most frequently used words and start with them. Those word make up about 50% of everyday speech, and should be a very solid basis. 7- Librarians aren't just random people who work at libraries. They are professional researchers to help you finding a place to start researching on any topic. 8- Keep a separate master resume with all previous work experience When sending out a resume for a application. Duplicate the file and remove anything that may be irrelevant to the position. You never know when the past experience might become relevant again and you don't want to forget about it. 9- If someone offers you something you want, take it. Don't decline every kind of offer out of Politeness. 10- When buying a blanket, always buy at least one size larger then your bed. It's at least hundred times more comfy. 11- To get an email reply from individuals notorious for not replying, frame your questions so that their lack of reply is a response. 12- Some people aren't good at asking for help because they're so used to being 'The helper'. 13- Little math hack: X% of Y is Y% of X. So if you want to find out what 7% of 50 is, you could instead find out what 50% of 7 is, which is 3.5 . This means that 7% of 50 is also equal to 3.5 . 14- For those youngsters going to college for their first time : GO TO CLASS ! No matter how hungover, tired, or busy you may be, being present is the most important factor for Succeeding in your first year As you adjust to living independently. Missing class is a slippery slope to failing out.

Yesterday was a looooooong day. Dan from @dbephotography shot my kitchen and master bedroom. Clock was ticking with getting ready to sell our house! This is just an iPhone scouting shot but I’m obsessed with gladiolus and incorporated them into the kitchen.

2/11/2021, 2:47:20 AM

February... celebrate the month of L❤️VE. And what’s more romantic than a pink bedroom, complete with a chaise for indulging in your feminine side? I love pink but I’m not so sure hubby would agree to a pink master bedroom. Thank goodness I can create spaces for others to enjoy and get my “fix”. Would YOU love a pink bedroom as an adult? Or is it too feminine or young for you now? Design by Crystal Ortiz.

BabyCat(Peyton) has a new favorite spot. Now that the Christmas decorations are up at home, I feel like I can focus on work and the season of giving. And spend time each morning putting ornaments back on the trees...

11/30/2020, 3:51:14 AM

Anyone else feel like this? Especially during the election with the chaos from both sides. Don't forget to VOTE!!

11/3/2020, 9:58:20 PM

WTF - It's Window Treatment Friday! This masculine bedroom didn't have much impact in the headboard, and due to the small size we had no choice but to put the bed directly under the window. Together with the amazing skills of Heidi at @smithlandcustominteriors this bedroom features a hard cornice with a geometric blue & white print, nailhead trim, and white velvet curtain panels that can be closed if it's a bit too cool under the window. Mr. Client was quite happy with his new bedroom.

10/30/2020, 3:40:35 PM

Home should make you happy and be a place you want to go, not to run away from. Is home your happy place? Mine is but yet I've lived here so long I'm ready to try something new.

10/29/2020, 9:15:08 PM

It's Walls that Wow Wednesday and a look back at a gorgeous wallpapered stairwell & paint color I helped a client choose last year.

10/28/2020, 6:56:53 PM

Yep - I seem to have a knack for word vomit or not filtering myself. Hubby is much more controlled than I am at those things.

10/12/2020, 2:42:24 AM

Shoe Porn! These are one of my favorite pair of shoes. Rose gold sparkles - VERY me.

10/10/2020, 9:18:32 PM

Anyone else a total shoe addict? I'll share some of my favorites this week. I think it's because - outside of pregnancy - my feet don't grow anymore, and look cute no matter how much weight I gain. I've started exercising and watching what I eat more especially now that my daughter is a dietitian. As long as my belly doesn't block my view of my shoes, this statement will hold true!

10/9/2020, 4:40:10 PM

Thursdays are for Mood Board Madness! This was one of the concepts from the Purple Project as I was pulling the colors and fabrics together for Ms. Client to approve. We went a different direction on the rug and nixed the blue chair completely but many of these made it into the final design.

10/8/2020, 10:17:18 PM

Do you eat raw cookie dough? I do! I admit it. When my kids were younger and they'd bake cookies, they would always bring me a spoonful of dough. I've survived this long and to me... the benefits outweigh the risks.

Got to share a home office? Try using bookcases as dividers. The back that "faces" you is a great spot to hang a bulletin board or calendar. Organize your space with the shelves that face you. Make one room do double duty!

It's Walls That Wow Wednesday. Not sure what to do with a wall? Try a mural. This blue asian-inspired dining room has deep blue paint on the other 3 walls, but with this 13' wall I chose a gorgeous mural to be the "art" of the space. You can "Shop the Look" on my website!

9/30/2020, 7:57:08 PM

The Preston Lake Basement project needed to carry the architectural style of the upstairs into the additional finished spaces of the home. @mintconstructionva did a fantastic job by creating a simpler version of the gorgeous trim mouldings in the rest of the house. One of my favorite projects to date.

My newest creation. My design of my own dining room. Hubby loves it and says “let’s do it!” I say downsize and do it in the next house. You can Shop the Look on the Bluestone Decorating website though. Who knows? I may change my mind next week... #occupationalhazard

I'm such a sucker for kids & critters. And yes, I talk to my psycho kitties like they're babies.

9/3/2020, 10:15:08 PM

One of my favorite spaces that I've designed & decorated. This media room in the Preston Lake project is quite the man cave! Mr. Client even invited hubby and I over for a screening of Independence Day - my choice, I wanted to hear the speakers.

I hate to be wasteful with resources, and money is no exception. It's just a resource that should be used wisely. The same for time - it's finite. Don't waste it and do something halfway or "on the cheap" because you didn't want to invest properly, with either your time or money. #timeismoney #money #time #resources #business #successful #motivational #inspiredaily #quoteoftheday #inspirationoftheday #entrepreneurquotes #bluestonedecorating #addatouchofcrystal #duchessofdecorating #interiordecorator #interiordesign #harrisonburgva #shenandoahvalley #virginia #designblogger #rockinghamcountyva #virginiadecorator #businessowner #successquotes #businessminded #solopreneur #risingtidesociety #smallbusinesslove #worksmarter

It's Transformation Tuesday! Another space within the Massanutten Project - the new powder room. She loved the "golf" theme of the "Before" but I wanted to elevate the look and feel just a bit. With green plaid wallpaper, Fusion granite, a hammered copper vessel sink (reminded me of a golf ball) and art the client already owned.
