A Collected Spring:
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.

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!

A renovation is rarely undone by a lack of inspiration.
It’s undone by a lack of clarity.
Because the reality is this: building or remodeling a home requires hundreds of decision, many of them invisible, all of them connected. The materials, the proportions, the lighting, the flow, the sequencing. The details that don’t feel urgent until they are the only thing you can see.
And while hiring a designer can feel like a significant investment, what you’re truly purchasing is certainty.
The assurance that every choice has been thoughtfully considered.
That the vision is protected.
That the entire home will come together cohesively. Beautifully executed, down to the smallest detail.
Because the real expense isn’t the design fee.
It’s completing your renovation and realizing it doesn’t feel the way you hoped it would.
If you’re planning a remodel or new build and want it done with intention from the start, we’d love to work with you!
We’re big fans of the IKEA PAX system! And if you’ve been following for a while, you might recognize it from the High Desert Tumalo Ranch, our last home.
We originally used these wardrobes as closet overflow in our bedroom and primary closet, and they worked so well that we’re bringing the same idea into our upstairs bathroom at Sixth Street Bungalow. With limited storage in the adjoining guest rooms, this felt like the smartest, most functional (and let’s not forget affordable) solution.
The key is making it feel intentional. We always add trim and base molding for a built-in look, upgrade the hardware, and paint them so they feel custom. In Tumalo, we even used curtain panels for a softer, layered feel.
It’s proof that good design isn’t about reinventing the wheel but about using the right tools, the right way.
Save this if you’re short on storage but want it to look beautiful.
Possible? Sure.
Recommended? ...not so much.😅
A kitchen renovation isn’t just cabinets and tile. It’s hundreds of decisions stacked on top of each other.
Even in this phase alone, I can easily count 60+ choices we’ve guided our clients through: layout, lighting, functionality, finishes, details you don’t think about until it’s too late.
That’s the difference between a kitchen that’s pretty... and one that truly works beautifully for the way you live.
Our experience helps you avoid expensive “oops” moments and get it right the first time.
And don’t worry, this is just the beginning. The reveal is coming soon, so stay tuned

✨ A new chapter of the Monthly Edit ✨
(The February Edit goes live tonight at 5pm CST.)
Almost two years ago, I started sharing these little roundups as a way to collect the things I genuinely loved. Pieces for the home, beautiful finds, items I’d saved or purchased again and again.
But over time, it’s evolved into something more.
Because design inspiration doesn’t come from just one place.
It comes from what we’re watching on a cozy night in…
the places we travel…
the fashion trends we can’t stop pinning…
the beauty products we swear by (I’m always testing something new 🙋‍♀️)…
the music that brings us right back to another season of life.
Everything we experience shapes the way we see, and the way we design.
So each month, I’ll be sharing a peek into what’s inspiring me right now! Home, lifestyle, culture (all of it) downloaded from my little world into one Edit.
If you want a glimpse into my (slightly chaotic) designer brain, follow along. 🤍
Save this Reel! The full February Edit goes live tonight at 5pm CST.
