This sweet client is actually a Chicago native, but when she told me she wanted a Southwest vibe in her home, I absolutely loved it! We brought it to life with warm, earthy tones, natural textures, custom-covered furniture in performance fabrics that can handle kids and dogs, leather recliners for both her and her husband, and unique pieces like the cowhide, horns, and collected accessories throughout.

And one of my favorite parts… I introduced her to decorating with live plants. Now she calls me and tells me I’ve created a monster because she has a plant addiction and can’t stop buying them! 😂🌿LOVE!

We still have one finishing touch left—the perfect piece of art to layer over the cowhide—but this home has come together beautifully. Most importantly, it feels comfortable, personal, and like a place their whole family can truly enjoy. 🤎

One of the things I love most about what I do is getting to be involved from the very beginning and watching a vision slowly come to life.

This lovely home is currently undergoing a full two-story remodel, and I’ve had the privilege of working alongside a great contracting team RQM Homes., to help design this project. These are the kinds of projects that remind me that design is so much more than choosing beautiful finishes. It’s creating a home that truly works for the people who live there.

From reimagining wall layouts to designing custom cabinetry, selecting flooring, tile, paint colors, lighting, plumbing locations, electrical placement, and even the stair railing, every single decision has been thoughtfully planned.

One of my favorite transformations has been opening up the living room by removing the built-in bookcases on each side of the fireplace to expand the windows. Now, instead of closed-in walls, the homeowners will enjoy breathtaking views overlooking Pleasant Valley Golf Course. It’s amazing how one design decision can completely change the feeling of a space.

We’ve also added a beautiful sunroom—a peaceful place where she can start each morning with a cup of coffee while taking in those gorgeous views. I can already picture it becoming one of the most-loved rooms in the house.

One thing my client asked for above all else was lots and lots of storage, and we’ve made that a priority in every inch of this home. From custom built-ins, a beautiful desk area, dry bar, and thoughtfully designed cabinetry, we’ve truly maximized every space. We even designed toe-kick drawers beneath the kitchen cabinets so that even the space most people never think about becomes functional storage. Those are the details I love—finding creative ways to make a home not only beautiful, but work harder for the family who lives there.

I always tell clients that the beauty you see in the finished home starts long before paint goes on the walls. It starts with intentional planning. Every outlet, every cabinet, every light switch, every plumbing location, every drawer, every finish, and every detail is carefully thought through before construction ever reaches the finish line.

Right now, it’s still in the sawdust stage—but I can already see the finished home in my mind. I cannot wait to share each step of this transformation with you because this one is going to be absolutely stunning.

✨ This is why I love what I do. Turning ideas into homes that are as functional as they are beautiful.

~Some projects are beautiful because of the finishes. Others are beautiful because of the person who will fill the space with life.

This sweet client dreamed of turning an unfinished attic into a peaceful retreat… a place where she could simply slow down, create, reflect, and enjoy the things she loves most. Seeing that vision come to life has been such an honor!❤️

We started with these gorgeous fringe chairs from Cantrell Furniture and Design(I absolutely fell in love with them!), then designed custom-built shelving and display boxes to showcase what means the most to her. Every shelf tells part of her story.

She is incredibly talented! She quilts, sews, and creates beautiful Rosemaling artwork. She has even written a book on the art of Rosemaling, and now she has a special place to display both her work and the treasures she’s collected over the years.

One of my favorite parts of the room is the window. She told me she wanted soft, flowy curtains that she could leave open in the mornings while the breeze gently moved them as she looked out over the trees with a cup of coffee. I could picture it the moment she described it, and I love that it’s now exactly what she imagined!

As you look around the room, every piece has a story. Artwork collected from travels. Paintings created by family and friends. A beautiful quilt handmade by a family member. Nothing here was chosen just to “fill a wall.” Every piece represents a memory, a person, or a season of her life.

To me, that’s what makes a house feel like a home.

Design isn’t always about buying new things. Sometimes it’s about creating a space that honors the life you’ve already lived and gives those meaningful pieces a place to shine.✨

I hope this little attic retreat brings her peace, inspiration, and countless hours of creating for many years to come. These are the kinds of projects that remind me why I love what I do! ❤️

✨ Before & After: Master Bathroom Transformation ✨

This master bathroom has officially become one of my favorite transformations! And when the Client continues to tell you how they 𝐿𝑜𝓋𝑒 it and now enjoy their space, it truly makes my heart❤️ smile!!

The original space felt closed off, with a small, cave-like shower that made the entire room feel much smaller than it actually was. Our goal was to completely open it up and create a space that felt luxurious, bright, and timeless.

One of my favorite features is the new curbless, zero-threshold shower, where the flooring flows seamlessly right into the shower, making the room feel expansive and spa-like.

The homeowner wanted the tile to be the true focal point—a work of art in itself—and I absolutely love how it turned out! The stunning porcelain with dramatic green veining creates movement and interest while tying in beautifully with the custom moss green cabinetry. We finished the space with countertop-to-crown mirrors, elegant sconces, warm brushed hardware, and clean, modern lines that allow every detail to shine.

And the transformation didn’t stop with the bathroom! The adjoining master closet was completely customized with built-in shelving, drawers, a dedicated linen cabinet, and beautiful lighting, creating a space that’s just as functional as it is beautiful.

It’s amazing what thoughtful design can do. This project went from dark, dated, and closed off to bright, open, and completely custom—a true retreat for my Client.
I couldn’t be happier with how this one came together! 💚

One of my favorite projects lately was installing this precious peel-and-stick wallpaper in a sweet little nursery for a baby girl who will be making her grand entrance into the world in just a few weeks. 🩷

I’ve had the privilege of working on several spaces in this family’s home, and when Mom called and said she wanted this beautiful butterfly wallpaper installed, I was honored that she trusted me to be the one to do it. She knew every detail would be handled with care, and that’s exactly how I approached this special room.

The wallpaper went up beautifully, and I absolutely love the soft butterflies, delicate flowers, and whimsical feel it brings to the space. It transformed the room into something magical for this little girl.

As I was finishing up, I got a glimpse of the crib bedding that will soon be added—and there it was… a dragonfly. 💕

Most people probably wouldn’t think twice about it, but dragonflies have a special meaning to me. My mama loved dragonflies, and since she went to Heaven, I seem to notice them everywhere. In artwork, jewelry, décor, fabrics, and now on a baby’s nursery bedding.

Maybe it’s coincidence. Maybe it’s not. But every time I see one, it feels like a little wink from Heaven—a reminder that she’s still cheering me on, still proud of me, and still finding little ways to make me smile.

This nursery is beautiful, but that tiny dragonfly may have been my favorite detail of all. 🩷🦋
