A little color can do a lot. 🧡💙

I love how the warm orange and soft blue play off one another here. Add in a few patterns, comfortable seating, and books within reach, and the room starts to feel collected instead of coordinated.

That’s always the goal. A home that feels like you actually live there.

My Power Hour is a focused, one-on-one design consultation where we tackle your most pressing design questions. Whether it’s choosing paint colors, picking out light fixtures, or selecting furniture, you get professional guidance tailored to your space. Some clients need just an hour, while others opt for extended time to tackle bigger projects—like one recent client who turned a single Power Hour into a full 10-hour design experience!

A homeowner reached out to me needing help designing their small home but wasn’t sure where to start. Over the course of 10 hours, we transformed this home into a unique, personality-filled space with thoughtful details and timeless choices.

Want to get started? Let’s chat about your space! Book a Power Hour with me today, and let’s make your home feel like you—beautiful, functional, and uniquely yours.

The pretty rooms are only part of the story. 🤍

There are hard decisions, unexpected changes, problem solving, and plenty of moments when we have to rethink the plan.

And maybe that’s part of what makes the finished space feel so good.

The hard is often where the good stuff happens.

Books are a perfect addition to any coffee table. Not only do they add height and dimension, but they are also great conversation starters.

A little corner that proves a home office can feel productive and personal at the same time. Natural textures, meaningful pieces, and room to actually live and work here. 🤍

Good design doesn’t always mean starting over. 🤎

Sometimes the most beautiful rooms begin with the pieces that already hold a story. I love giving well-made furniture room to shine, then thoughtfully layering in what the space needs for today.

A room doesn’t have to match perfectly to feel pulled together. Sometimes it’s one pillow, one pattern, or one familiar chair that makes everything click. 💙

I love spaces that feel collected over time, comfortable enough for everyday life, and full of a little personality.

Current Trends in Kitchen Backsplashes (and How One Stunning Update Made All the Difference)
✨

When it comes to picking the perfect backsplash, start by thinking about what you already love in your kitchen. Do you have bold countertops or cabinetry? Look for a backsplash that complements or highlights them. Prefer a more minimalist vibe? Choose subtle textures or soft tones. And don’t forget about functionality—easy-to-clean materials like glass or glazed tile are ideal for busy households.

Above all, your backsplash should reflect the personality and feel you want your kitchen to have. Whether you’re drawn to rustic charm, sleek modern lines, or timeless elegance, there’s a backsplash out there to bring your vision to life.

If you’re ready to update your kitchen, I’d love to help! Whether it’s a full remodel or a simple refresh, I’ll work with you to create a space that tells your story while making the process stress-free.

I am going to make everything around me beautiful. That will be my life.

For me, that idea goes far beyond decorating a room.

Thoughtful interior design is not about creating a picture-perfect home. It is about shaping spaces that support the way we want to feel and live. A room can offer calm through natural light, comfort through soft texture, connection through a gathering place, and joy through color or something handmade.

Beauty can be found in an inherited piece, a vase from a local maker, flowers clipped from the yard, or a chair placed in just the right patch of morning sun.

A beautiful home does not have to be grand. It only needs to feel meaningful, welcoming, and true to the people who live there. 🌿
