Self-ish Living by Tashia Tucker

It’s spooky season! The older I get, the more I adore this time of year. The shorter days. The cooler nights. Leaning into the beauty of darkness, cozy moments indoors, and the magic all around.

Wishing you fresh baked cookies, hot soup in the cauldron, and a steamy bath this weekend! 🧙 🎃 👻

This project feels like Autumn to me. I loved how these homeowners weren’t afraid to lean into the depth of dark woods, saturated colors, and traditional hardware and finishes. It’s a true classic in the best possible way.

We fancied up this home in preparation for sale, and it got snapped up in a flash when other homes nearby had been sitting on the market.

This Summer has been packed full of the most delightful clients and projects, but I took a pause last week for family vacation time in British Columbia. The design inspiration that comes from exploring new places is creative gold, and The Butchart Gardens delivered. What a magnificent place! Can’t wait to bring new ideas to my work (and new plants to my garden)!

May-hem is in full effect, so this post is coming late night. As it turns out, that’s perfect timing for this speakeasy basement lounge. That staircase transports you in a magnificent way — the lighting effects wow, the color drenching immerses you, the hidden bookshelf door intrigues, and the liquor display and w**e closet…well, it’s all the stuff of dreams. Cheers to that. 🥂

Waaaaay overdue for wallcovering Wednesday, but here’s proof that we’re busy bringing beautiful spaces to life. I’ll admit, when I entered the home design world, I was a wallpaper skeptic. It didn’t take me long to come around, and it’s not hard to see why.

You can pick one, two, or all three: color, pattern, texture.

Whether it’s nature references, metallics, grasscloth, or geometrics, wallpaper is a massive opportunity to personalize your space to feel just exactly how you want it to feel.

And, just in, I now have two new window covering lines to finish off the windows with as much love and attention as your walls!
