You’ve heard the saying, “Couples who play together stay together.” Obviously the same applies for the this terrific twosome, Lamar and Ronnie Tyler, who also work together as owners and operators of one of the top marriage and parenting websites, BlackandMarriedWithKids.com. As if that isn’t enough, they also own and run a social media, filmmaking, and public speaking conglomerate, Tyler New Media.

I recently shared their home office transformation with the Glidden MyColortopia readers. The story got rave reviews and I thought you all would enjoy reading about them while also learning how to tackle storage in your own home office.

This isn’t the first time I’ve mentioned the Tylers or their businesses here on the blog. I completed set design work for their most recent movie (Still Standing), shot this Room Service Atlanta video with (Tyler New Media), and have been featured alongside my husband on their site (click to here to read our Power Couple story).

It’s a honor to be connected with them on a personal and professional level.

Hope you enjoy the story!

HI,
I'M ERIKA.

Beyond the Blueprint is a curated journal where legacy, lifestyle, and intentional design converge.

Here, I share stories from the heart of my home and the homes I create—faith-filled reflections, family rhythms, wellness practices, and design inspiration rooted in grace and purpose.

From motherhood and marriage to the sidelines of Friday night lights, each entry offers a glimpse into the layered life I live—and the brands, spaces, and values that support it.

Whether you're here to be inspired, encouraged, or aligned, welcome. This is life beyond the blueprint
