One of the biggest misconceptions about beautiful homes is that they’re created through an unlimited budget or endless luxury options.
However, we believe the most meaningful spaces begin with clarity—understanding how you want to live, how you want a space to function, and how you want people to feel when they walk through the door.
We help homeowners create spaces that feel personal, collected, and deeply connected to their lives. Through thoughtful design, practical guidance, and intentional investments, we help clients transform everything from single rooms to full-home renovations into homes they’ll love for years to come.
Serving clients in Oregon, Tennessee, and nationwide.

Between the Layers breaks down how we approach each space, so you can apply the same thinking to your own.

Maybe this is why this quote hit me so hard.
I’m in a season where I feel both incredibly grounded in who I am and also... still figuring out what I want the next chapter to look like.
And I think both can be true.
You can love the life you’ve built and still want to evolve it. You can miss old versions of your life without wanting them back. You can be grateful for where you are and excited to see where you go next.
There’s something really freeing about realizing we’re allowed to keep becoming.
Back in my natural habitat 😂 Plans, samples, a
million ideas, and getting to walk through them with our clients IN PERSON
One of my favorite parts of making a new house feel like home is pulling these back out. Although I could do without the reminder of just how quickly it all goes.
Dinner at Southall and I think it officially convinced me I need to make a Tennessee recommendations post.
Just two girls who believe deeply in the importance of breakfast.🥞
Proof that sometimes the answer really is just... paint it yellow. 💛

A very Cultus Lake kind of afternoon!!
A little headshot refresh for the team
Came across this old video from one of our campaign shoots at the #High DesertTumaloRanch and it made me a little 🥹
We’re enjoying our family vacation in Sunriver, and I’ve actually been back in Oregon for the past month—catching up with clients, squeezing in site visits and consults, and honestly just loving being here again.
There really is nothing quite like an Oregon summer. Even with the wildfires, which has been heartbreaking to watch become such a normal part of summers here, this place still holds so many special memories for our family and has always felt like a bit of a retreat.
We spent so many good evenings out on this patio, usually with those killer mountain views in the background. Seeing this again brought me right back. Had to share.🤎
It’s never too late to dial in your patio. IMO early fall is still some of the best time to spend outdoors (and let’s be honest, you can find some pretty amazing sales- save now and enjoy later). Let us help you design your outdoor space for any season!

Hiring a designer is a funny thing. You’re essentially handing someone your home your budget, years of saved inspiration, and a pretty intimate look at how your family actually lives-and trusting them to get it right.
That’s not a small thing.
And a good designer’s job is so much more than making your home beautiful. It’s listening closely enough to know when to push you toward something you wouldn’t have chosen on Your ow? when to wark with what you already love, and when to say, Nope, that doesn’t feel You should still recognize yourself in your home when we’re done. Just maybe a version you couldn’t quite figure out how to get to on your own.
That trust takes time, which is why we start every project with a conversation.
If you’ve been thinking about getting some help with your home but aren’t quite sure what that looks like yet, that’s okay. Tell us what you’re working on. We’ll start there.
Discovery calls are always the first step — link in bio or shoot us a DM.
Maybe someone in your life needs to hear this right now. Someone whose life looks completely different than they thought it would. Who’s feeling stuck in their career.
Starting over. Watching their kids grow up and wondering what’s next for them. Or just feeling that little nudge that maybe it’s time for something different.
I’ve been there. And if I’m being truthful, I still have moments where I’m there.
There were seasons of my life I never would have chosen, but they pushed me toward things I’m not sure I ever would have been brave enough to choose on my own. This business. Moving. Starting over. Taking risks when I definitely didn’t have all the answers.
I think we put so much pressure on ourselves to have life figured out when really, we’re supposed to evolve. You’re allowed to change your mind. You’re allowed to want something different. You’re allowed to start the thing you’ve been quietly thinking about for years—even if the timing feels weird or the path there looks nothing like you imagined.
Sometimes you just have to trust the nudge and see where it takes you. 🤎
And while I’m feeling sentimental, thank you for being here and following along through all the different chapters. I’ve loved the support, conversations, and little community that’s grown here more than you know.
Send this to a friend who might need that reminder today.
You can have the plans. The Pinterest board. The contractor. Half the materials picked out. And still find yourself staring at two options thinking... I genuinely have no idea anymore.😂
That’s exactly where this client was. Her full-home Bay Area renovation was already underway and she had a strong vision—she didn’t need us to take over.
She just needed another set of experienced eyes on the decisions she couldn’t quite land.
So we spent our first session working through her actual list: millwork, lighting, paint + stain, cabinetry, tile, trim, fireplace and ceiling beam details... all those decisions that suddenly feel very permanent when your contractor needs an answer.
That’s really what our 6-Hour Consultation is for. You might already be 60% there. Bring us the 40% that’s making you second-guess everything.
If you’re in the middle of a project thinking “wait, this is exactly the kind of help I need”... start with a 15-minute discovery call. Tell us where you’re stuck and we’ll see if it’s the right fit.
Comment “EDIT” and I’ll send you the post when it goes live tonight at 5.
Or, subscribe to Between the Layers at the link in bio and it’ll land directly in your inbox— along with all my future sourcing lists, design deep dives + things I could never gatekeep.
