If you’ve been defaulting to checkerboard … I get it. I’ve used it too, and truly love it for its classic feel. It’s one of those patterns that just works. You don’t have to overthink it, and it instantly gives a space some structure and old world WOW factor. But lately, I’ve been walking into…

A few items I’m always getting questions about. Here are some of my most recent faves from our home💗
Comment ‘LIST’ and I’ll share everything!
Another install for the books! We finished our Tetherow Timber House project in the PNW laat week. Designing dream homes, special spaces, and vacation homes, is such a passion of mine, I feel so lucky it’s what I get to do for a living.
Thanks to everyone who worked hard on this project. CH is what it is because of the people brought into the vision. And thanks to our amazing clients who I love so much, for trusting me with the designs and letting our team do our thing these past couple of days... projects always turn out best that way.
Hear me out... Mood boards are a great starting point. They set the tone, the palette, the direction. But for a lot of people, that’s still not enough to fully see it.
That’s where renderings take it a step further. They bridge the gap between concept and reality so you’re not guessing, but rather making decisions with clarity. It gives our clients a clear picture of the feeling of their new space... as if they were standing in it redesigned today.
If you’re someone who has a hard time visualizing the end result (or just wants to feel confident before making big decisions), this is a big part of how we guide our clients through the process. We outsource our photorealistic renderings by @by.siaoro and we feel so grateful for the service she provides to bring our designs to life!
We’re taking on a limited number of projects this summer, so if you’ve been thinking about reworking your space, you can inquire through the link in bio!
Sweet sweet May. This month’s edit is a curated roundup of pieces inspiring our designs, projects, and lifestyles. Consider it a manifestations of what’s to come as we kick off the summer season. Comment ‘EDIT and I’ll send you the links to these dreamy finds and faves!
We opted for this 9x12 natural fiber jute rug in our den.
Honestly, the weight, the texture, the tone, it just works.
I’ve actually repurchased this rug multiple times for my own home, which says everything. It’s one of those foundational pieces that instantly grounds a space and layers in that warm, collected feel.
If you’re looking for a neutral that doesn’t fall flat, this is always one I come back to.

What a week and a half 🫶🏻 visiting our Tetherow Timber House project and reconnecting with my Oregon roots... Here’s a couple of casual snapshots from our install.
What used to be a builder grade home now feels layered, calm, and deeply considered. Elevated but still easy. Refined, but still lived in (for a vacation home). Official before and afters to come.
After their first few nights here, their feedback was everything. They shared that they couldn’t wait to finally be able to enjoy their reimagined home!
That’s always the goal. Not just a beautiful home, but one that you can’t wait to live in.
Xx,
Allison
