Inside Kelly Moore’s Bright, Inviting Home

This house simply makes me smile, so I had to share a closer look at Kelly Moore’s delightful home. You may recognize Kelly from her popular photography blog or her line of camera bags. Exploring a home reveals so much about its owners, and Kelly’s place says warmth, creativity, and thoughtful design at every turn.

The kitchen is a standout: Kelly and her husband poured extra-thick, homemade concrete countertops and even shared a tutorial for making them. The cabinets are painted Sherwin Williams Alchemy on the upper cabinets and Grandiose on the lower—she couldn’t choose just one color, so she used both. The island, apron sink, and open shelving come from Ikea, while a Dash & Albert rug (sourced locally in Ruston, Louisiana) adds texture and color underfoot. Sleek stainless appliances balance the painted cabinets and concrete counters for a polished, lived-in look.

A smoky, sophisticated glass tile backsplash elevates the kitchen and gives it a rich, reflective quality. The tile carries a subtle glamour that pairs beautifully with the more rustic materials, creating a space that feels both modern and homey.

The large living room continues that marriage of comfort and style. A generous sectional and a plush round ottoman create an inviting seating area perfect for lounging, reading, or entertaining. The seating faces a rustic brick fireplace beneath lofted ceilings, which brings warmth and architectural interest to the room. Thoughtful accents, like a showstopping mirror, reinforce the welcoming vibe—everything in the space invites you to sit down and stay a while.

Adjacent to the living area is the dining space, where a paneled ceiling and clean-lined light fixtures create a subtle, elegant atmosphere. Bulb-style pendant lights from West Elm hang above a farmhouse-style table, while Ikea chairs and picture ledges keep the look relaxed and approachable. A bold folk-art cow painting by Erickson T. Wright adds a playful focal point and personality to the room.

Kelly’s eye for pairing contrasting elements — rustic with refined, textured with sleek — appears throughout the house. The stainless appliances and charming apron sink in the kitchen, or the modern sectional juxtaposed with a weathered brick fireplace, are examples of how mixing styles creates depth and visual interest without feeling forced.

The master bedroom is a confident statement in color. Painted Sherwin Williams Kimono, the room is bold and cozy at once. A chandelier with an industrial-chic edge hangs above a comfortable bed, and practical choices like curtains from a major retailer and accessible bedding keep the room livable as well as stylish. Personal touches—family photos, layered textiles, and curated decor—give the space a relaxed, intimate quality.

Kelly’s daughter, Posey (affectionately called Po), has a playful, stimulating room that blends learning and design seamlessly. Alphabet decals and a large, casually draped map provide educational elements presented in a visually engaging way. Fun details like L-O-V-E pillowcases featuring hand-shadow lettering add whimsy and charm. The paint color, Sherwin Williams Hot, is bright and cheerful—perfect for a young child’s vibrant space.

Overall, Kelly’s home is a thoughtful balance of function and beauty. It’s a place that feels inviting and personal, with carefully chosen finishes and comfortable furnishings that reflect a creative family lifestyle. Thank you to Kelly and her family for letting us peek inside and enjoy the details. What stands out most to you? My favorites are the glossy glass tile in the kitchen and the oversized, welcoming sectional—oh, and Posey’s playful room, too.
