I have a new consult tomorrow ❤️ for someone looking to update their tile…which made me think of this whole house remodel. I love how much personality tile can infuse into a space. So much fun to see this all come together!!

I recently had my home photographed by the talented Tavis Bohlinger Photography as he was adding to his local portfolio. It was so refreshing to see through a new lens and I’m super grateful for his talent and time. ❤️ {https://tavisbohlinger.com}

Many of you know that I was struggling to get excited about design again after COVID and haven’t been accepting new clients for the past few years. I feel very strongly that if your designer isn’t excited about your project, she shouldn’t be working for you and so I took a pause…

So this is me, cautiously excited about taking on some new challenges in 2025 and flexing some of my design skills again. I think after almost 20 years of owning my own business, worn down was an understatement and a break was in order.

I’m planning on dipping my toes back in slowly and trying to rekindle what I love about doing this and a big part of that is helping people love where they live!

I’ll be doing some things differently and adapting as I go. I probably won’t be just like your last designer ‘cause after 22 years in the business I’ve learned what works and doesn’t work for me. I may not be the best fit for you. I may not accept all the projects that come my way.

But know this, if I take on your project, it’s because I’m excited about it and about working with YOU and helping to create a space that feels like home to YOU. If magazine worthy is the goal, I can do that; I’ve done it plenty of times. But if your goal is something totally different and involves kids and messes or respite and empty nests, I’d be honored to help with that as well!

Small projects welcome and hourly rates available. No pressure to hire all my people (I don’t really even have them anymore!) or buy through my links.

I will take on some basic consults too if you’re just looking for ideas to get started or someone to brainstorm with for a few hours. Long story short, if you’re looking for some updates this year, let’s chat and see if we fit. Sound good?!

I was looking on Houzz for something else and just realized I never shared this project. And it was a FUN ONE!!!

Working with a client as amazing as Lori Bishop Wolter and builders as talented as Berghuis Construction LLC and Lifestyle Kitchen Studio was like being part of a dream team!

Starting to take on a few new projects...excited to see this one through! Picking headboard and chair fabrics today...

Those vintage dressers are going through quite the transformation by Simple Redesign...can't wait to see them re-imagined!

What are ya'll working on??

Who am I??? All these neutrals...

Some of my all time favorite clients (in Texas!) need a Covid solution... who wants to vote??!

We are turning their upstairs, unused kitchen space into a makeshift office for their adult son's extended visit...

Aeron chair and oriental rug are what we're starting with. Bluestone dining table turned office desk with Aeron on one side bench on opposite side. Two chairs on the ends...this is where I need your vote! Which one do you like?? Natural subtle herringbone textured fabric or sophisticated camel leather???? I honestly really like both!

The idea is that all these pieces can be split up and re-used in other spaces of the home as things "change" in the future. 🙌🤪

I love me some design collaboration with my friend Karen Kloostra at Stonesthrow!

Always fun when a client sends after pics of something we’ve been planning for a long time!

Goodbye bifold doors and old closet, hello navy custom coat cabinet and bench!! Thanks Lifestyle Kitchen Studio for making me look good!

One of those moments that I remember that my job is pretty fun!

I had fun with this quick design for a young boys' room. They're keeping his bed and desk and looking to make it a little more functional for him. Details like non-breakable lamps, a chaise big enough for mom to read with him, and art/rug/bookcase that can be reused in other areas make it perfect from a growing boy. I hope he likes it as much as I do!

Featured in a Christmas decorating article...and we still don’t have our big tree up this year. Seasons change, friends. Celebrate them all!

Wreaths and garlands, sparkling lights and Santas, stockings and mini trees. If you’re displaying it, we want to see it!
