Meet Kathy
Hi there and welcome to Up to Date Interiors! I’m an experienced renter, retired military spouse, mother, musician, and interior decorator. For the last eight years, I’ve been focusing my passion for interior styling and DIYs to help others love their space. If you are a fellow renter, you’ll want to check out rental decorating ideas. But don’t worry, there’s plenty for home owners and DIY lovers who love high-end design on a budget.
Interior Style
If you love eclectic style, mixing old with new, splitting up sets, and repurposing what you already have, this is the perfect place for you! I’ll help you showcase your curated collections, create your own style using inexpensive and renter-friendly solutions, and make small spaces functionally beautiful.
Our most recent adventure is decorating our 1960’s ranch style home in Fort Worth, TX. It’s under 2,000 square feet so I’m still using a lot of small space ideas I’ve adapted over the years. The rooms we have completed are our daughter’s boho-eclectic bedroom, master bathroom refresh, and open concept living, dining, and piano studio!

I have been busy exploring your blog, which I found through found Okinawa Bloggers. I need your secrets for Okinawa living! What were your favorite stores here? How did your hang stuff on the wallpaper? It is so challenging and I am afraid command strips will take off the paper! Also, love your cabinets in Okinawa and you may have to give me your rental company info bc I want that house! We are in a 4 bedroom apartment in Awase, LOVE the area but miss having a yard!
Kathy says
Hey Meredith! I’m so glad you found me. Hope you have a chance to hang out with the blogging group! They are the sweetest! Our house had concrete painted walls so I hung 90% of our things with command strips. We have wallpaper in our current Japanese house but I found hooks at Daiso that only leave a tiny pinhole (approved by housing). Heavy artwork and tvs are on cabinets. Okay, I’m going to friend you on FB so we can chat about Oki more!
