New Kitchen: the final touches, a coffee bar, and before / after photos!
There are a few other major changes that we made to the kitchen to tie it all together: new appliances, new lighting, a backsplash, and a coffee bar. We chose stainless steel appliances and we’re THRILLED to finally have a dishwasher that doesn’t sound like a motorcycle gang is idling in our kitchen. We picked…

Painting kitchen cabinets: not for the faint of heart.
The cabinets were our first project on the kitchen reno list. Our cabinets were greasy from years of cooking without a vented stove and had painfully outdated hardware, but structurally they were sturdy and actually very nice. They were custom made from maple and extend all the way to the ceiling, which is something we…

January and Minimalism (the documentary)

I am a little bummed that the holidays are over and I hated taking down my Christmas decorations, but I love the subdued quiet and tabula rasa that January offers.

The latest design – El ultimo diseno!!
Last year we came up with the idea of creating a brand for t-shirts – it would be something fun to work on, a way to make something with my art and maybe make some money off of it and an outlet for creative impulses. After some thought and a couple of different ideas we…

LRL (green) Cribs!
Welcome to this episode of LRL (los Rodriguez life) Cribs! Nashville weather can hit extremes during summer and winter, so our superstars Chupete and Choripan needed a place to protect them from the elements (they really don’t spend that much time outside but they needed to be homeowners just in case). So I decided to…

My art and Chupete shirts!
Since I was a kid I had a special interest in art. I wasn’t the “Mom! Mom! I want to go to the museum and look paintings and statues” kind of kid, more like “Mom! Mom! do you have a pen and a piece of paper I can use to draw?” kind of kid. I…
