Wallpaper? Yes please.
This summer's project was refreshing the guest bedroom in my home which was originally part of my grandmother's home nearly a century ago.

As I was painting, installing trim, and hanging grass cloth wallpaper, I couldn't help but wonder how many colors, wallpapers, and decorating styles these walls have seen over the years. If these walls could talk, I'm sure they'd have some stories to tell.

I traded the old green walls for Hale Navy, added board and batten, and finally got to use grasscloth wallpaper—something I've wanted to try for years.

One of the things I love most about old homes is their character. The slanted ceilings and quirky walls aren't flaws to fix; they're part of the story.

This wasn't a client project—just me having some fun, honoring a family home, and giving a well-loved room a new chapter.

Hate your small kitchen? Laura did too.

Her kitchen doesn’t need to be bigger… it just needs to work better.

It’s amazing what a few thoughtful design changes can do for a space.

✨ PROBLEM
• The layout felt awkward
• The finishes felt outdated
• Storage wasn’t being used well
• The space just didn’t feel inviting

✔ SOLUTION
• A smarter, more functional layout
• Better flow for everyday life
• Timeless finishes with personality
• A kitchen that finally feels warm, fresh, and intentional

If your kitchen needs a refresh, I’d love to help. DM me and let’s talk about your space!

Which detail would you steal for your own kitchen — the cabinets or the floor?

This 60’s style galley kitchen got a complete refresh with rich dark blue cabinetry, bold patterned flooring, improved flow, and a fresh modern feel that still feels warm and inviting.

Sometimes a kitchen doesn’t need a full addition to feel completely transformed — the right layout ideas, finishes, and details can make all the difference.

This design was all about:
• Creating a brighter, more functional space
• Adding character with bold flooring
• Bringing in timeless color and finishes
• Making the narrow galley layout feel more open and intentional

✨ Entryway first impressions… which one feels like you?

Your entry sets the tone for your entire home—so the materials you choose really matter. I put together three different looks, each with its own vibe:

• Stone + Wood → warm, layered, and full of texture
• Wood Only → clean, classic, and timeless
• Stone Only → bold, grounded, and a little more dramatic

Each one creates a completely different feeling the moment you walk through the door.

So now I’m curious—
👉 Which one would YOU choose for your own entryway?

Drop your vote in the comments:
1, 2, or 3?

If you’re dreaming up your own entry refresh and not sure which direction to go, I’m always happy to help you visualize it before making any big decisions.

What island color do you like better? The darker one for contrast or the lighter one to match the cabinets?

From familiar… to unforgettable.

This space started with something we’ve all seen before—a standard dresser and mirror setup that simply exists in the room.

But what if your bedroom could do more than just exist?

We reimagined this space into a layered, moody retreat—featuring a dramatic slate blue panel wall, warm wood slats, floating shelves, and a custom half-mirror detail that adds just the right amount of depth and reflection.

Board and batten behind the bed grounds the space, while full-length drapery softens it all with a quiet sense of luxury.

Finished with cozy seating that invites you to actually stay awhile.

This is what happens when every detail is intentional.

Alright… the votes are in

And the winner is Kitchen #6 🎉

No surprise here — that contemporary design definitely made a statement.

Double islands that create generous prep space and room to gather.
A sleek, modern butler’s pantry tucked seamlessly behind the scenes.
Horizontal wood grain cabinetry that draws your eye across the space and gives it that clean, architectural feel (such a difference from traditional vertical grain).

And we can’t forget the lighting.

Those elongated cylinder pendants add a sculptural element above the island — minimal, refined, and perfectly scaled. They don’t compete with the design… they elevate it. Simple lines, strong presence, and just the right amount of drama.

It’s bold. Modern. Functional.
And clearly… a favorite.

I love seeing what details people connect with most — layout, cabinetry direction, lighting, hidden storage. The little decisions are what make a space feel next level.

Now stay tuned 👀
The runner-up kitchen is coming next… and it was a close one.

Make sure you like and follow so you don’t miss it.

Okay… I need your help on this one 👀

I’m sharing 6 different kitchen designs — each with its own style, layout, and personality — and I want to know:

Which one would you choose for your home?

Is it the bright and airy one?
The bold and dramatic one?
The warm and cozy layout?
The one with the oversized island?
The clean and modern look?
Or the timeless classic design?

Every kitchen was thoughtfully designed in 3D first — so layout, flow, storage, and proportions were all planned before anything would ever be built. Different homes. Different needs. Different vibes.

Drop the number of your favorite in the comments 👇
(You can only pick ONE… I know, it’s hard.)

I can’t wait to see which one wins. 😄

This home might be one of my favorites I’ve designed lately. The home owner knew exactly the style she wanted...modern and very contemporary. She had great inspiration pic's for me to work off of.

The home addition has tall ceilings, a full wall of windows, and that stone fireplace that totally anchors the space — it feels modern but still warm and comfortable. Not overly formal. Not cold. Just really livable.

Everything was mapped out in 3D first — furniture layout, lighting placement, proportions — so the space feels balanced and intentional before anything is ever built.

All of the rooms- kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom all carry this same clean, contemporary vibe.

Now I’m curious — which space would you be most excited about in your own home? Great room, kitchen, bedroom, or bathroom?
