Featured Project

So Susie Headquarters

A bright, happy home layered in florals, pattern, and soft color. Think tailored upholstery, skirted tables, cane and wicker, antique brass, and collected pieces that feel personal rather than perfect. Botanicals run throughout with printed wallpapers, embroidered pillows, garden-style flowers. Balanced by crisp millwork, sisal underfoot, and gauzy drapery that keeps everything light. The kitchen and dining open to the garden for easy indoor-outdoor living, while cozy sitting rooms invite stacking books, lighting a candle, and staying awhile. It’s classic and feminine without fuss, polished but lived-in... Special in all the right ways.

14 Online Decor Shops That Feel Like Hidden Gems

If you’ve ever wondered where designers actually find those pieces that feel a little more special, this is usually where we start. Not the big box stores, not the overly saturated sites—but smaller shops that carry things that feel collected, layered, and personal. These are the places we go when we’re sourcing for client projects,…

5 stars. I wanted to make our guests feel comfortable and welcome and a hotel inspired bed seemed like the perfect idea.

All of this bedding is from @onequince , comment ‘BED’ and we’ll send you everything that’s linked on our LTK.

This look isn’t for the “anti-pillows” person - in fact it’s all about the layering for that plush, all-white and cozy hotel inspired look.

Here’s how to get this look in your home:
- Start with smooth, wrinkle-free sheets (a quick steam makes all the difference) I love the classic embroidered trim on these I used.
- Tuck your sheets tightly (especially the corners) for that tailored finish
- Layer in a plush duvet or comforter for that full, cloud-like feel (I like to stuff a duvet cover with an insert thats one size larger)
- And don’t skip the pillow layer technique (this is key!): I stacked four total for sleeping, two euro shams for structure, two decorative shams, and an oversized accent lumbar pillow (ours measures 18 x 42 in @LeeJofa fabric) to finish it off

Save for the next time you want a bed refresh!
Here’s how to bring everything you love together. Without the chaos!

Comment ‘LOVE’ and I’ll send you exactly how we define your base, choose your lead style, and mix in the rest so it actually works.

Most people think they have to choose one style... but that’s usually not the problem. The issue is trying to make everything feel equally important.

If you want your home to feel collected (not confusing), you need a clear lead... and then layer in the rest.
The difference between a home that looks good... and one that feels good?
It’s what your hands touch every day.

Plumbing fixtures.
Cabinet hardware.
Upholstery.

These aren’t always the most exciting decisions, but they’re the ones you interact with constantly. And trust me, you notice the difference. If you’re going to invest anywhere, start here.

Save this + pass it along to someone designing a space right now!
Sixth Street Bungalow update!

What’s your favorite room so far?

We’ve had a “timeline”... but also not really
Lately it’s been a little here, a little there.. jumping between spaces depending on what we can get done. And honestly, that’s just how renovations go.

That said, it’s finally starting to feel like a turning point. Most of the downstairs is done (minus a few spaces), and now that the upstairs is ready, we’re moving up there so we can start the primary suite next!

More to come.
