Hi, everyone! It’s me, Jasmine.

When HGTV Magazine asked me to guest-edit an issue, my first thought was, "OMG, yes!" This really is my dream job, because magazines are my happy place. Of course, I love TV shows (after all, I have one), but on screen, home reveals happen in the blink of an eye. When you read a magazine, you have time to sit with beautiful photographs and learn about the design. For detail lovers like me, finding all that inspiration and info in one place is a treat.

As I started planning this issue, I kept thinking about what a fun challenge it was. I'm super competitive, so I wanted to knock it out of the park — which explains why I decided to buy and totally renovate a house in six weeks for the cover story. We could have photographed an older project of mine, but that wouldn't have been nearly as exciting as finding an old A-frame (in Arrowbear, California), gutting it and turning it into my dream cabin just in time for our press deadline. I can’t believe I finally have a cabin of my own! Come look around ...

The House: Before

For years, I’ve been dreaming of fixing up an A-frame in the mountains. My husband, Brett, and I weren’t actively house hunting, but I had an alert set for houses that fit our criteria: close to a lake, commutable from our home in Huntington Beach, California, and never-before renovated (because I have to do my own thing). When this 1,085-square-foot cabin popped up on my phone, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Then HGTV Magazine called and asked me to guest-edit an issue and feature a project of mine — the perfect excuse to buy the place!

The House: After

I overhauled the exterior with a new porch, door, window and paint (Black Fox by Sherwin-Williams).

The Living Room: Before

It needed some personality.

The Living Room: After

Throughout the house, I brought in materials you might find on a nature walk. Now the fireplace mantel is reclaimed wood, and the surround is architectural stone veneer by Eldorado Stone. A veneer is cast from molds of real stone, and I always wanted to try it on a large scale! The wood ceiling feels so organic and special. It took four days to sand down, and now it’s gorgeous. The curved lines on this sofa (from my shop) help the space look more open.

The Kitchen: Before

Brett and I were most excited about this transformation.

The Kitchen: After

The counters are quartzite, which is denser and more durable than marble, so we can really throw down while we cook and not worry about staining. The natural hickory cabinets complement the living room ceiling.

The Dining Area

The house didn’t have enough square footage for a dedicated dining room, so I maximized this space off the kitchen with bench seating and stools that slide under the table. A local carpenter built the live-edge table, and it’s a stunner! It measures only 5 feet long, which left a small area by the door for a “mudroom” made from an open cabinet.

The Bedroom: Before

I can’t believe the previous owners fit bunk beds in the nook off this room!

The Bedroom: After

For us, the nook works perfectly as Hazel’s bedroom. To enclose it, I ran doors on a track hidden by a soffit. The doors are vintage, found by a friend who’s a professional picker. Cool, right? I love how the wallpaper on the ceiling, by Wallshoppe, makes the whole room feel cozy. The smaller-scale gingham wallpaper in Hazel’s area echoes the plaid on the ceiling.

The Bathroom: Before

This room was ready for a refresh.

The Bathroom: After

As a nod to all the lakes in this area, I chose quartzite with swirling blues for the shower walls. It feels really luxurious, and I love a good high/low match, which is why I paired it with a floating gray IKEA vanity. The hex tiles on the floor are by Zia Tile.

The Loft: Before

The previous owners fit three beds in this space.

The Loft: After

Welcome to Sophisticated Summer Camp! I designed these bunks to hold four queen beds, so we can accommodate a lot of guests. (This photograph was taken from the opposite direction of the “before” photo.) The paint color of the bed frames, India Yellow by Farrow & Ball, is fun yet understated, just like the plaid carpet. The wood art is by my sister-in-law!
