Valentine’s Gift Guide for Her

 

  1. For the one who values the artistry of home décor, these heart beads are a charming element to add to any space. Handcrafted with wooden beads on a jute cord, it’s a labor of love that makes the ideal gift. Perfect for hanging on a door knob or draped in a decorative bowl, and guaranteed to bring a heartfelt vibe to the home.
  2. Elevate your loved one’s glassware game with Estelle colored wine glasses in a dreamy blush pink. In fact, these would look like absolute jewels displayed in open cabinets. It’s a stylish gift that turns sipping into a glamorous affair; perfect for the person who appreciates functionality and a pop of aesthetic charm. I’ve loved these ever since I laid eyes on them. I’ll take a set in every color please!
  3. For the fashion-forward individual, these sneakers are a festive statement that effortlessly combine comfort and trendiness. Picture them as the vibrant pop of color your special someone’s wardrobe needs. My go-to outfit flair is basically fun sneakers with a simple white blouse and jeans … and of course, a cozy coat! Whether yo’ure hitting the streets or working in the office, these sneakers are a golden gift. I’m gifting myself this year — and have my eyes set on these 😉
  4. White wine in a can? A must for crafting the perfect Valentine’s gift basket for your Galentines! These mini-delights bring a fun touch to the occasion. Imagine the joy of discovering these chic mini cans among other yummy treats. Perfectly portioned and stylishly packaged for the one who appreciates the finer things. Gift-giving just got a whole lot more fabulous!
  5. Set the mood with a Diptyque candle – a gift that is super luxurious and always appreciated. Sometimes it’s the simple things that we would never buy for ourselves that make the most exciting gifts to receive.
  6. These plates are simply irresistible. A true statement piece, especially with the two-tone pink floral design. Picture setting the table for a Galentine’s Day brunch with these beauties — so girly and glamorous! They are divine, and I’m tempted to add them to my own collection.
  7. Slice into style with a pink carving set – a whimsical touch for this time of year. These beauties will turn a romantic steak dinner at home into a special occasion. This set is a unique gift that adds flair to every culinary aesthetic. I have these in the cheese knife version, and find myself using them year-round.
  8. A gift just for the chef! This olive oil with its pink tin is so charming, you’ll feel like you’re in France. This little gem is the perfect addition to your gift basket, because who says kitchen staples can’t be cute and functional at the same time?
  9. When in doubt, consider the gift of a chic coffee table book. This one says it right in the title! Its simple lettering means you can display it anytime (not just for the holidays). It will make a lovely addition to any book lover’s collection.
  10. Perfect for the one who appreciates budget-friendly finds without compromising on style. This red-striped, ruffled throw pillow is so sweet! And, it would look darling on a bed or mixed into your couch ensemble.
  11. I just stumbled upon these quilted coasters made by Furbish Studios, and they are amazing! The textiles they offer are always a fun vibe to mix into somewhat neutral home décor, especially when you want to spice things up in a casual way. Personally, I love the purple — it totally shakes up the whole pink and red Valentine’s color scheme. It’s like they knew my living room needed a pop of color rebellion!
  12. The creme de la creme of cozy: the AMI Paris cardigan. I mean, come on, their signature red heart is practically a love letter to comfort and style – a no brainer for this gift guide. And, it’s a classic … and so luxe! I’d like one in literally any style of color (hint hint).
  13. I firmly believe that the best gifts are the ones that say a lot with a little, and these darling heart-shaped huggies nail it. They’re a touch of love that’s always there, whether you’re rocking your everyday look or dressing to impress! And, they go with everything.
  14. This cool concept packs four different shades into one compact, perfect for daily glam or on-the-go touch-ups. I personally swear by this beauty essential – it’s not just a lipstick palette; it’s a makeup game-changer.

♥️ Gift Guide for Him ♥️

 

This Valentine’s Day, shift the spotlight to the special man in your life with our curated gift guide tailored just for him. While flowers and chocolates often steal the show, it’s time to let your guy bask in the glow of your appreciation. From sleek accessories to practical indulgences, these thoughtful gifts speak volumes about your love. Because, let’s be honest, it’s not just about the perfect gift; it’s about celebrating the extraordinary guy who makes your heart skip a beat.

  1. We’ve all been there – wandering aimlessly in the fragrance aisle, unsure of which scent will make him swoon. This set lets your guy explore various fragrances, and bonus: you can secretly note which one disappears the most quickly for that future gift-giving win.
  2. We’ve got the larger version, and let me tell you, it’s a game-changer – zero smoke, all the cozy vibes. Perfect for your outdoorsy flame fanatic, especially if they’re into impromptu camping trips. After all, you never realize you need a portable fire pit until that moment arises, and boom – this sleek, convenient gem has your back, turning any space into a romantic hotspot. 
  3. The pint-sized powerhouse for a knot-free, stress-free treat. If you’re guilty of enjoying back scratches but not returning the favor 😉, this TheraGun is your redemption. Our household swears by these mini miracles; they’re like tiny masseurs erasing the day’s tensions. Trust me, after a long workday, this compact hero will become your unsung relaxation anthem. It’s the gift of muscle relief wrapped in mini magic. I gave one to Derrick this year and he uses it every night after work. 
  4. Elevate your Valentine’s game with Waterford crystal whiskey glasses – because nothing says sophistication like sipping spirits in style! It’s the ultimate addition to his barware collection, and let’s be real, what man doesn’t need a set of timeless whiskey glasses? These classics aren’t just for now; they’re a forever kind of gift, ensuring he’ll toast to your thoughtfulness for years to come. 
  5. The epitome of practical, comfortable, and stylish. Let’s be real, guys and clean shoes? A rare combo. These kicks not only pamper those feet but also add a touch of sleek simplicity to any outfit. It’s the gift of comfort that acknowledges the eternal struggle of keeping shoes pristine.
  6. A travel essential that screams maturity and organization. This dopp kit the perfect solution for keeping his belongings in check during those adventures. And, you can even add a monogram for that extra personal touch! 
  7. Wrap up the warmth this Valentine’s with a camel-colored sweater – a classic and oh-so-appreciated gift that never goes out of style. Who doesn’t love cozying up in a timeless sweater?
  8. Gift the spring time vibes with stylish sunglasses – a perfect investment for a Valentine’s gift as sunshine and warmer weather approaches!
  9. Revolutionize their pocket game this Valentine’s with a magnetic wallet – the epitome of convenience when they want to travel lightly. Picture this: no more pocket bulk! Attach it effortlessly to the back of his phone for easy access to essentials. 
  10. Spruce up his style game this with hair styling cream – because nothing says “time to tame those locks” in a subtler, thoughtful way. Derrick doesn’t need to worry about this so much 😉 But, it is the nudge he might need towards grooming excellence while emphasizing that self care isn’t just for the girls. 

So, as we wrap up this Valentine’s Day gift guide, we hope these ideas have added a touch of inspiration to your shopping journey.

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.
