A Gift Guide for your Valentine ♥️

Derrick and I keep things pretty simple for Valentine’s Day. We love to make a yummy dinner and just enjoy the evening together. Now that two of our three kids are out of the house, we mail them each a little gift. Typically, it’s something I know they could use for school, but it’s also fun to give presents that show our love for them but that aren’t necessarily “useful.” If you’re looking for a gift for a loved one, check out the ideas below!

By the way, did you know you can follow us on Like To Know It?? You can find ALL the items featured in this post there on our Like To Know It page. We have an account on LTK where we share all the links of things we’re loving. We hope you’ll check it out and let us know if there’s something you would like to see more of. You can find us here!

Boy Smells Candle

I'll admit, I'm obsessed with Kacey Musgraves ... and this candle collaboration with Boy Smells has me very curious. I'll definitely be repurposing the glass container; it's a beautiful shade of red. I have one in my cart as a little gift for myself!

Pink Carry-On Luggage

I'm already a fan of bold colors, and this BEIS suitcase will make finding your luggage in baggage claim so much easier! Isn't it cute? I've heard this brand is really really good -- in fact, it's all the rage right now. Our design assistant, Kaylei, took the carry-on version on our trip to Las Vegas Market and loved it!

Le Labo Santal 33

I'm not exaggerating when I say WHENEVER I wear this perfume, someone asks me what it is. And, the coolest thing is that it's unisex! This would make a great gift for your spouse or lover. It smells absolutely heavenly.

Le Creuset Heart Cocotte

I've wanted a Le Creuset baking dish for sooo long! Although this may not seem super romantic, for the cooks out there -- well, if you know, you know. And this heart shape makes it even sweeter as a loving gesture to the chef in your life.

"Loved" Socks

Our daughter is the queen of comfy clothing ... and these socks will go perfectly with her favorite sweats! She's always telling me that she needs cuter socks. Ha! But seriously, these socks make any outfit that much cozier.

What a week. It’s Thursday evening but feels like it should be Friday! Anyone else with me? No plans, just soaking in the last bit of light with a glass of wine and a slow bath. We are heading to Chicago tomorrow for our Clouz Houz work retreat-excited, a little tired, and trying to savor the quiet before a full weekend ahead. Will be sharing more of the fun with stories while we’re there!
Designing your dream home doesn’t mean you need to live in the same city as your designer.
Our Design Plan Only service has helped clients all over the country bring their vision to life-without a single site visit. If you’re someone who can handle the ordering, legwork, or install side of things, but just need a clear plan from a designer... this service was made for you.
We’ll give you everything: the vision, the layout, the links, the notes for your contractor-and the confidence to finally make your space feel like you.
Comment “PLAN” and we’ll send you the link to fill out our quick client questionnaire and get your discovery call on the books.
Life is short.
Make it beautiful!

if you’ve been dreaming of that Old-World aesthetic but have no idea where to start, comment ‘ELEGANT’ and we’ll send you all the tools you need to get this look with confidence!
We’re so obsessed with this style—timeless, layered, and full of charm-but it can feel overwhelming trying to actually pull it off without a designer by your side. That’s why we put together our Design Guides to help you go from inspiration to execution without the guesswork.
It’s perfect if you’ve got a big occasion coming up and want your home to feel put-together and beautiful, or if you’re just ready to stop pinning and finally start styling. We’re giving you the exact colors, pieces, and pro tips we use to get that romantic, storied look—no endless scrolling required.
Seriously, this is the shortcut we wish everyone had.
Drop “Elegant” below and let’s get you started with curating your home like a designer!
Some days I look around and still can’t believe this is our life. Not because it’s perfect or easy… but because it’s ours.
We started over when we didn’t mean to. Moved to a new place. Took a chance on a completely different rhythm. And slowly, we fell in love with this slower way of living. With the quiet. The space. The chance to build something that actually matters to us.
It’s wild how one unexpected change can unlock a version of your life you never even knew was possible.
Just a little reminder—there’s no “right” timeline. You’re allowed to begin again, to take the long way, to dream up something new.
This is your sign 🤍
