Gifts for Mother’s Day

Beautifully Thoughtful, Just Like Her

This guide to gifts for Mother’s Day is a collection of finds that feel a little extra, a little special, and completely her. These are the kinds of pieces you stumble across and instantly think, “she’d love this.”

These are the little luxuries that elevate the everyday, objects that carry a sense of warmth and ease. Some are sentimental, others are playful. All of them? Collected with care, and perfect for spring.

Includes a canvas farmers market tote with tulips, a glass cake stand, gold recipe box, Chris Stapleton’s “Traveller” vinyl, Westman Atelier foundation stick, Maison Louis Marie No.04 perfume, custom herb garden markers, Julia Child’s cookbook, Cotswolds garden coffee table book, ceramic monogram mug, ballet flats, custom matchbooks, and a woven cardholder.

Gifts for Mother’s Day, Designed With Her in Mind

From heirloom-y ceramics to delicate staples she didn’t know she needed, everything here is rooted in comfort, charm, and a little sparkle of nostalgia. Think soft color palettes, sweet garden details, and textures that feel lived-in and lovely.

It’s for the woman who lights the taper candles even on a Tuesday, who keeps matches in a brass box because it makes her smile, who finds beauty in quiet corners and everyday rituals.

These aren’t statement gifts. They’re soulful ones.

A Love Letter to the Women Who Made Us

A cozy, moody scene of someone writing a heartfelt note at a wooden desk. Surrounded by black-and-white family photos, fabric swatches, and a champagne flute, the moment feels nostalgic and intimate—like a personal tribute to motherhood.

 

This guide is a little love note—to the women who raised us, nurtured us, encouraged our creativity, and taught us how to move through the world with grace and strength. The mothers, grandmothers, aunts, chosen family, and mentors who show up in big and small ways.

Gifts for Mother’s Day say thank you—and carry meaning, intention, and a whisper of “I see you.”

We hope it makes your Mother’s Day shopping a breeze!

Step inside the Lake Oswego Bungalow Lookbook🤎
This project already had such good bones, an absolute gem of a cottage in one of the most charming Lake Oswego neighborhoods. We weren’t here to renovate; this one was all about bringing in warmth, comfort, and character through furniture, styling, and a few cosmetic touches like wallpaper and lighting updates.
If you ask me what is one way to update your home without a lot of renovating, it’s furniture and styling! 100%!! We furnished the entry, living room, family room, primary suite, office den, and a few guest spaces. It was truly a full home furnishings project, and I can’t wait to dive into the details of what we did in each of these rooms. This is just a little peek behind the curtain!
Some of our favorite projects are the ones where we get to come in and reimagine the layout and feel of a space through furniture and accents. A fresh start without the full remodel-just the right edits to make your home feel like you.
We’re currently accepting clients for Q4 (aka the perfect time to get going once the kids are back in school and you’re ready to reset for the new year). Message us if you’re thinking about starting a project-we’d love to bring your space to life.
Comment ‘STYLE’ and I’ll DM you the link to explore all five. You can also find them in our LTK shop under product collections anytime.
I created these Design Guides because I know firsthand that design help can feel out of reach. If I weren’t a designer, I’m not sure I could afford to hire one myself-and that’s exactly why this mattered so much to me.
I believe your home should feel beautiful, personal, and pulled together without needing a huge budget or endless time to figure it all out. These guides are here to be your roadmap. And although I can’t say it completely replaces a designer, it’s a great tool to help those who are designing on their own. These guides are complete with curated furniture picks, paint palettes, styling tips, and layouts designed to take the guesswork out of the process.
They’re not just moodboards-they’re permission to start. Direction when you’re stuck. And support when you want your space to reflect you.
If you’ve ever stood in your living room and said, “I just wish someone would tell me what works”... I made these for you.
And if you still feel like you’re stuck or unsure what’s next, that’s okay too. We offer 1-hour consults, Designer for a Day sessions, and more—so you never have to navigate it alone. Head to the link in bio to learn more about our services and see how we can support you further
Summer Cherry Panzanella 🍒
I love a panzanella salad in the summer… but this one is even better by adding cherries! Never would I have thought to include them but they give a delicious twist to this classic! And the hot honey champagne vinaigrette? She pulls it all together with just the right balance of sweet heat and acidity. And of course, my personal fave, creamy burrata- I can’t get enough!! 
Make sure you save this + here’s how to make it:
Ingredients:
For the salad:
• 2 slices sourdough bread, cut into 1” cubes (about 2 cups)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 ½ cups halved cherries
• 1 cup thinly sliced cucumbers
• ½ cup watermelon radishes, quartered and thinly sliced
• 1 ¼ cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
• 1 small shallot, thinly sliced
• ¼ cup thinly sliced basil
• 1 ½ tbsp roughly chopped mint
• 4–6 oz burrata
• Optional: a pinch of aleppo pepper or crushed red pepper
For the dressing:
• 2 ½ tbsp champagne vinegar
• 2 ½ tbsp olive oil
• ½ tsp Dijon mustard
• ½ tsp hot honey (or regular honey)
• Pinch of salt and pepper
How to Make It-
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. On a parchment-lined sheet, toss your sourdough cubes with olive oil, minced garlic. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until golden and crisp on the outside but still a little soft inside.
2. In a large bowl, gently toss together the toasted bread, cherries, cucumbers, radishes, tomatoes, shallots, basil, and mint.
3. In a small jar or bowl, whisk the champagne vinegar, olive oil, Dijon, hot honey, salt, and pepper until smooth and emulsified.
4. Transfer the salad to a serving platter, tear the burrata over the top, drizzle with vinaigrette, and finish with a sprinkle of aleppo or red pepper if you’re into a little kick.
We accepted an offer on our home 🥹 feeling all the feels over here!! So grateful-but also, wow, that happened FAST.
Every kind comment and bit of feedback during the listing made me smile, seriously. This house has been so good to us... and now it’s on to its next chapter.
I hope the new owners love it as much as we did, and fill it with their own special little moments like we got to.
This reel is just a few memories from our time here— so many sweet ones tucked into every corner.💛
That stuck-in-the-middle feeling? You’re so not alone. We’ve helped so many people through that exact moment-when your space is almost there but still doesn’t feel like you. And the truth is, it’s not about starting over or spending more, it’s about getting clear on your style, so you can trust your gut again. We created this quiz to help you do exactly that. 
Comment ‘HELP’ and we’ll walk you through the first step. You’ve got this and we’re right here with you.🤎

We started this client’s office last year, and now we’ve taken that same coastal, serene vibe and brought it into the main living spaces. The living and dining rooms got a full refresh-think California Casual Cottage energy: light layers, soft blues, rattan textures, and pieces that feel timeless but relaxed.
Designing your home should feel fun—and we’re here to help it feel easy too.
