Starting today, you’ll be able to check out my exclusive page at www.snapfish.com/genevieve for tips on how you can personalize your home décor – everything from decor made easy, decorating on a budget and kids’ rooms decorating ideas.
I am very excited to help inspire the Snapfish community with their home decor choices. Wondering what kind of home décor products they have? My personal favorites are the framed photo canvases, children’s wall décor including customizable maps (my daughter Bebelle will love these!) and photo panels to showcase favorite photos on your wall. There’s a lot, so start reading my tips for inspiration and creating now!
In fact, if you have questions for me, you can email me at askgenevieve@snapfish.com and I’ll choose five people who will receive my personal recommendations and will also earn an 8×10 framed photo canvas. I’ll also be answering your questions live on December 8 at Facebook.com/Snapfish (time to be announced), so stay tuned for more details.
Can’t wait to hear from you all, and I’m excited about my new endeavor. I look forward to your comments, questions, ideas and more. Don’t forget – there’s inspiration to be found everywhere!
Alright, it’s time for a relationship update with my new boyfriend. Okay, so, we are still dating and I will say it seems to be going pretty good so far.
HP ENVY and I are taking it to the next level. He has seduced me with his ePrint…what is ePrint? Basically, it allows me to email anything I want printed directly to the printer from wherever. Breakdown? I’m in a cab, I need my travel itinerary printed for when I get home…done! I send the doc from my phone and voila! ENVY has it waiting for me. I’m not joking.
Alright, let’s talk photos. Here’s a pet peeve with my ex’s, you send a picture to print and it’s GIANT! This guy will automatically resize pictures to print on 4×6 photo paper. Um genius.
We’ll see where this goes….happily in love so far.
Alright guys, we need to talk. As a designer I get asked to work with gajillions of companies and products but I have to say, as mid-western as I am in spirit, I am a total New York design snob when it comes to choosing my product/sponsor/commercial/corporate friends. That being said, it’s time to introduce you to my new boyfriend from HP. He is hands down the sexiest printer I’ve ever hooked up with.
His name? The HP ENVY100 e-All-in-One (“ENVY” for short) I know…a printer? sexy?! I’m not lying.
As a designer, I usually hide ALL printers in a desk drawer, cabinet or leave them out of a room for a reveal because they are terribly unattractive. Now, we have a true player who can be friends with the rest of the room.Let’s talk…..sleek black and grey finish with a mirrored finished top,no horsey paper hanging out, no big, flashing digital reader. It is incredibly chic and subtle. Think if your iPad and DVR had a baby, this would be it. You don’t have to be embarrassed to keep out your printer anymore. Is form truly married to function in this product?
Over the next few weeks I’m going to test drive this mister and see what he’s made of…word is that he has his own email address and I can send him (via HP ePrint) files to print when I’m away from the studio. Intrigued….
Dear Genevieve,
I’ve followed your television career for a long time and absolutely love everything you do. You’ve got a great personality to go with your awesome talent as a designer. I’d love to have your opinion on my outdoor entry.
I’ve lived in my home for about 13 years. I have a large covered front porch which houses a swing and wicker furniture. The flooring is wood and my dilemma is what color it should be. It has previously been stained in white. Steps leading to the porch are brick with white railing. The siding on the house is cream with white trim and blue shutters. I’m planning to re-paint the shutters black. What color would you recommend the floor be painted or stained as well as a color for the front door?
Your advice and expertise are greatly appreciated! Thanks for sharing your talent!
Lynn
Hi Gen,
I am a big fan of Dear Genevieve as well as your new show Design Star. I recently saw an episode HDGEN-309 that was A Galley Kitchen Gets a Modern Cottage Makeover. You showed the couple three green knobs and they picked the rabbit one for their kitchen cabinets. Are these something that can be found. I really was attracted to all of them, but I have to admit I have a thing for rabbits too. Thanks for any help with this request. I have been looking on line to no avail. Laurie Hodson
We finally arrived in Oslo, Norway, 3 hours late, on Tuesday morning. We were majorly starved, so the first stop, after dropping off our luggage, was United Bakeries. Talk about delicious! Amazing, butter-filled pastries and giant foaming lattes were exactly what two weary travelers needed to keep up the energy for a full day of discovery. United Bakeries was just as charming as we had hoped; Gen found a beautiful cane chair that we fell in love with. It was just as comfortable to sit in as it was to look at, and we can’t wait to pull this discovery into inspiration for Genevieve’s furniture line! As the sugar and caffeine surged through our veins, we left for our next stop: the open air folk museum!
We arrived in Oslo, Norway about 3 hours late on Tuesday morning and it has been non-stop ever since! I know we are a bit behind in posting our discoveries for you guys, but we literally have been on the road, in the country, or conversing with the locals since the moment we landed. We have beautiful pictures to share and stories to tell so get ready for them-because the story telling starts now!
Let’s face it, Monday is probably the most uncelebrated day of the week.
Nobody likes Monday, not even us and that is why we chose this humble day of all days to bring beautiful things to you each week. We here at GG Home (Jess, Jaime and I) are challenging ourselves to make this a day we can look forward to, “a day, day, day or night, night, night that when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills, you know the one, Dr. Everything-Be-Alright...” Stop! I’m channeling Prince!
Sorry, back to biz, anyway, we want to make Monday beautiful for everyone. Each week we would like to introduce to you something in the studio we call MAGNIFICENT MONDAY. We will focus our design super powers on one piece of interiors and give you a big gulp of pretty. This Monday, because of all of your tweets to @real_genevieve, we are going to be bringing you our favorite collection of poufs. This is a conversation between the three of us that we’d like to invite you in on, tell us what you think.

I love the modular quality of the pouf. It is perfect in form and function but can be quite predictable at the same time.
With my favorite poufs of the moment, I’m looking for special, unexpected and that wink we need to finish off a room.
Let’s go:
Zig Zag Poufs by Donna Wilson
If you didn’t see my Friday Five on Design Milk I wanted to make sure you all had access to these poufs by Donna Wilson. Indigenous and ambiguous these are driving me crazy right now! These type of patterns, I predict, will be EVERYWHERE in the next 3 years. Read the rest of this entry »
It’s time! The trip that we have been waiting for for months is finally here! In two days we will be flying across the Atlantic en route to explore the absolutely beautiful country of Norway, on a trek across the globe for design inspiration. As Genevieve is knee deep in designing everything from bedding to rugs to picture frames (in addition to her interiors), she is ready for travel to take her once more and show her who’s boss. This time, Gen’s travels’ will take her to the countries of her forefathers and she will (quite literally) walk on the exact soil that her great grandparents once tilled. The exquisite handicraft of the sami, free flowing rosemaling patterns, and stunning architecture, are only a sampling of everything we are about to see. It’s going to be the trip of a lifetime and we will be documenting it all right here, so that all of you can share in the experience with us! And, just to keep it interesting…Norway is not the only country we’ll be visiting-stay tuned here as the adventure unfolds!
