Progress report: We have a window! Well… almost. 😂

There’s something pretty exciting about the moment a line on a drawing becomes a giant hole in the side of a house.

One giant hole closer to the payoff.✨

The best renovations don’t begin with a hammer.

They begin with exploration: how you live, what your home needs, where the investment will make the greatest difference, and who should be involved before the project starts moving quickly.

One question I hear often is, “When should we bring in a designer?”

My answer is usually: earlier than most people think.

I wrote more about why early planning can make the renovation process feel clearer, calmer, and more connected to the home you’ve been quietly dreaming about.

Granada, Spain was the last stop on this trip—and it didn’t disappoint.

brought the group of us here after touring their HQ and quarry in Almeria, Spain and they wrapped it in a way that really let us experience the city.

We stayed right in the heart of it. Walked through cathedrals, monuments, cobblestoned streets, and busy markets.

Dinner overlooking the Alhambra Palace at sunset. And a night in the caves watching traditional flamenco.

It’s one of those places where everything feels layered. History, culture, daily life- all happening at once.

And honestly, that’s what always translates.
Spaces and places that aren’t one note, but built over time.

A pretty incredible way to wrap up the trip.

Thank you.

This was the reason for the trip 👆
But being here always expands the lens.

Spending time at Cosentino HQ reinforced something I think about often—
not every material belongs everywhere.

Seeing them side by side clarifies where each one really works.

Dekton
Where performance leads. Heat, scratches, UV… inside and out.
(Also considering it for my own shower walls.)

Sensa
Natural stone, with added protection. Still organic. Still beautifully imperfect

And then this…

Éclos
A newer mineral-based surface for interior applications.

Refined, layered movement.

Highly resistant to heat, scratches, and everyday wear.
A different composition that reflects where materials are heading.

More flexibility. Better performance.
Without giving up design.

That’s the difference thoughtful sourcing makes.

Fun fact, in my early 20s I spent a few months living in Spain, doing print and commercial work. It was a season of life I don’t think about often.

Until now.

I’m back in Almería, Spain, the same coastal area where one of those commercials was filmed.

Work brought me here then. And somehow… it’s brought me back again. More to come.

Full circle, in the most unexpected way.

And just to make it even better, my friend managed to find the commercial while we were traveling here. Thirty-plus years later.

Watching it here feels a little surreal, and makes me smile thinking how that 19-year-old version of me might take all of this in.

I don’t think she’d be that surprised. I do think she’d approve.😀

Sintra could easily feel like too much.

Too many people. Too many “must-sees.”

Before this trip, we went back and forth—half day, full day, what’s worth it. We had a sense of what we wanted, but not how to completely shape it.

So we chose to customize it.

With the right guide, it stopped feeling like a checklist and started to feel curated. The noise fell away, the pacing made sense—and somehow, even with the crowds, it felt like our own experience.

And then a long lunch on the coast… one of those places you’d never find on your own.

That’s the difference.

Last day in Portugal. Off to Spain.

Lisbon feels layered in a way that’s hard to replicate.

Steep cobblestone streets, tiled facades, ironwork, and light that changes everything by the hour.

And then moments of contrast. Clean, modern spaces set inside centuries-old architecture.

It all works together without feeling overdone.

Historic, a little imperfect, and completely its own.
