FINDING A TOUCH OF GLAM IN EVERYDAY DESIGN
ARTICLE BY ALLISON GIBESON | PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED
HGTV star shares her secrets to make a home look both beautiful and livable.
Tamara Day, star of HGTV’s Bargain Mansions, describes her style as “laid-back luxe.”
“I am a mom of four, and I like pretty, shiny things,” Tamara says. “The two don’t always mix well. I design with lifestyle and family in mind but with that touch of glam.”
This mixture of practicality and flare can be accomplished throughout the home on a budget, Tamara says.
When it comes to the kitchen, she says replacing the backsplash is one of the most cost-effective ways to refresh the room. Additionally, she says paint is the most inexpensive option to update cabinets, and there is a de-glosser on the market that will reduce the labor involved by helping paint adhere to cabinets.
“You can get a whole new kitchen with some fresh paint,” Tamara says.
In the bathroom, Tamara suggests putting up new light fixtures and wallpaper for a fresh look. She suggests using wallpaper on just one wall to create contrast.
“Wallpaper transforms everything and puts in a hominess factor,” Tamara says.
To give a new feel to the living room, Tamara suggests using decorative pillows as well as displaying design books and layering with a candle or other interesting object to create a sentimental focal point. She also suggests investing in good, quality sofas
and rugs because less expensive options will not typically withstand the amount of wear and tear they receive from a family.
Overall, Tamara says there is a balance between mixing expensive and inexpensive items and materials around the home, all without having it looking cluttered. She says every space needs something that is thrifted.
Tamara finds many people enjoy elements of different types of styles and have a hard time defining their personal style. To help narrow down to a preferred look, she suggests taking a hundred room images and sorting them into piles of likes and dislikes. She says when someone completes this exercise, they typically find a theme to their preferences.
MAKING COLOR, TEXTURE AND PATTERN STAND OUT
Tamara has a natural eye for using great colors and textures in design. What is her approach to making a room look great?
HERE ARE TAMARA’S TOP TIPS:
Find a base color with pops of other colors.
“Every room needs a touch of black and a pop of color,” Tamara says. “The black will anchor it, but the color will give it life.”
If the home is urban, she suggests more bold pops. If it is a traditional home, use a mixture of colors. Additionally, she suggests using one basic color throughout a home with pops of other colors as opposed to having a different color in each room.
Consider wallpaper.
“Wallpaper can be scary for a lot of people, but there are so may wallpapers out there that are removable,” Tamara says.
Tamara says wallpaper adds texture and warmth, and she includes it in most of the homes she designs.
Layer with baskets, blankets and greenery. All three make a room feel cozy and add color and interest to a space.
The Art of Ink

KINETIC INK TATTOO
“The joy of seeing someone’s face light up when they see their new tattoo is truly priceless.”
Tattoos are a beautiful art form, reflecting personal stories, memories, and artistic expression. At Kinetic Ink Tattoo in Folsom, tattoos represent a blend of professional expertise and passion, where each tattoo created is a unique piece of art, a testament to the client's individuality and the artist's skill.
Kinetic Ink Tattoo is not just a tattoo and piercing studio, it is a sanctuary where art, community, and camaraderie intersect. They have been making their mark since 2016, combining the beauty and artistry of tattoos with a deep commitment to positively impacting the community. Owners Faun and Danny O’Neel have created a space where artists can excel, and clients can feel at home. The team includes talented artist and Manager Stephanie Wagaman, artist Hannarae Yang, and apprentice Sam Adame. Each artist brings their unique style and expertise to the table, ensuring a diverse and comprehensive range of tattoo styles and designs. As Stephanie puts it, "Tattooing is not just a job for me, it’s my passion in life. I love creating beautiful, custom, and unique artwork for my clients to wear for the rest of their life." The shop offers a wide range of services, including tattoos, cover-ups, piercings, and high-quality aftercare. Each service is provided in a clean, safe, and discreet environment by world-class artists. Camaraderie, and strength of the Kinetic Ink Tattoo Company family is well worth the visit.
Kinetic Ink Tattoo Company is deeply rooted in the community. The shop's mission goes beyond creating art, it includes giving back to those who serve our country. Through their partnership with Warfighter Overwatch, a percentage of every tattoo goes towards supporting veterans, first responders, and law
enforcement. This commitment to community service is a core value at Kinetic Ink, making each tattoo not just a personal milestone but also a contribution to a greater cause. The shop offers discounts for active military, veterans, fire personnel, law enforcement officers, EMS workers, nurses, teachers, and dispatchers. This gesture of appreciation highlights the shop's dedication to serving those who serve others.
Stephanie's passion for her work is evident in her dedication to her clients. "The joy of seeing someone’s face light up when they see their new tattoo is truly priceless," she says. This passion drives her to become a better artist and person with every appointment. The experience between an artist and a client is valuable and requires trust, understanding, mutual respect and communication. Each interaction enriches a tattoo artist’s life, and every experience is unique. As Stephanie shares, "With being in the industry for over five years, I couldn’t possibly pick a single favorite experience. Each one is special in its own way. Every client I work with helps me grow as not only an artist but as a person as well. If I had to pick, I would say the best part of my job is helping people capture their memories or visions and bringing them to life every day."
Kinetic Ink Tattoo is more than just a place to get a tattoo or piercing. It is a space where life experiences and value systems intersect. The shop is about the people who fill the space with laughter and a shared sense of purpose. Whether you're looking for a new tattoo, a cover-up, or a piercing, Kinetic Ink offers a welcoming, professional, and supportive environment.

The Art of Collecting
As consumers, we are constantly being enticed to buy. Whether it’s the jewelry we can’t live without, concert tickets to a show we don’t want to miss, or that favorite pair of shoes calling our name, we buy what we love, and art should be no different.
If you are new to acquiring original art, you may find it daunting, but it shouldn’t be. It is a special purchase that forces you to dig deep and discover a bit more about yourself. At first, many people shy away from buying original art because of the commitment. It’s a big decision after all, and how do you really know when it’s the “perfect” piece? Because art is subjective, part of the process is learning what style of art is the best fit for you. Is it colorful and energetic abstracts, or soothing landscapes that catch your eye? Maybe you are drawn to local photography, or even figurative works. There is no wrong answer, and maybe it’s a mix of several styles that creates your unique collection. The best way to find out your “art personality” is to get out and visit your local galleries. Consider making it a tradition to visit galleries while traveling or buy a piece of art as a gift on special occasions. In the gallery setting you can explore various art styles, mediums, and even learn more about the talented artists who create those works.
With the purchase of original art comes other considerations. Often, we have clients who need direction figuring out what size of art they need and its placement in the design of their space. If you find a piece of art you love, you will always find a spot for it. Ask the gallery if they offer in-home art consultation services to see the piece in your setting. Great custom framing is key, and well-designed framing is the jewelry to a great piece of art. Quality archival framing protects your art from UV rays that can damage a piece over time. Original art should last generations.
I’m often asked, should I buy art for investment? There is a place for investment art, but I don’t believe in buying art with the pretense that it will go up in value. There is no guarantee it will and to me, good investment art brings different riches to your life. Art that brings you joy, adds personality to your space, and makes your home original is an investment in you. The best art investment should be the feeling you experience gazing into an oil painting that perfectly captures a warm sunset over the prairie, or the texture created by a palette knife on the abstract that seems to pop off the canvas. That is what makes investing in original art priceless.
Art that brings you joy, adds personality to your space, and makes your home original is an investment in you.
