Here’s a fun fact you may not know about me: I am wildly obsessed with commercial design – cafes, coffee shops, restaurants, boutique hotels. I am the person in my friends’ circle that chooses restaurants based solely on how well they are designed. Design contributes so much to the overall atmosphere. So even if the food is subpar, you can still have a grand time because of the design-driven atmosphere.

High Quality, Luxury Linens That Are Actually Affordable

Oksana | FOXYOXIE.com — Fri, 17 Nov 2017 13:29:05 +0000

I do not exaggerate when I tell you that I’ve spent a solid six months (if not more!) looking for the right linens – bedding, curtains, etc. – to complete several rooms in our home.

Six months, I tell you! Ridiculous!

If the shouting and excessive exclamation points above aren’t enough of an indication, the process has been frustrating.

Fall 2017 One Room Challenge, Week 7: The Reveal

Oksana | FOXYOXIE.com — Wed, 15 Nov 2017 21:03:12 +0000

It never fails. At the conclusion of every ORC season I state that the forces of the universe are clearly conspiring against me – or at the very least against me joining the ORC ever again.

It’s insane enough that I decided to join this round with a three-month baby. Add to that:

Being notified that my maternity leave ends a week earlier than I originally thought (my first day back at work is actually today),
A baby who up to this point has been happy-go-lucky but suddenly turned into a stage-5 clinger, and
A malfunctioning camera the day before this post was to go live and I had yet to photograph the rooms.

Five seconds into scrolling through my blog or Instagram account, it becomes very obvious that our entire house is shades of black, white and gold. For as long as I can remember, the mere thought of incorporating color into our neutral home paralyzed me with total fear.

Case in point: Once upon a time I attempted to venture out of my colorless comfort zone.

First things first: If you’re new to FOXYOXIE.com, welcome and thanks for stopping by! My name is Oksana, and I am a designer, blogger, wife and first-time mama to two-month-old Mila.

Yes, you read that correctly. I am joining the ORC with a newborn. Have I completely lost my mind? Only time will tell.

Back in July of 2015, the mister and I bought some property – read about that oh-so-hilarious (not!) story here.

Our Best Renovation Decisions, Part II

Oksana | FOXYOXIE.com — Thu, 27 Jul 2017 21:01:38 +0000

In catching up on posts that I promised but never delivered on, I realized I never shared Part II of our best renovation decisions.

Not sure what I’m referring to? Let’s recap real quick.

In July of 2015, we bought a house. The house was old and abandoned and scary and sad. Nevertheless, we saw potential and made it ours, lovingly nicknaming it the #StrelkovBungalow.
