Renovation diaries:
I haven’t really touched this room yet... aside from moving furniture around and mentally claiming it as my office. I started painting it today and now I’m wondering why I waited so long.

French Gray by @farrowandball has that quiet, old-world softness I keep coming back to. It doesn’t feel trendy or precious... just really livable.

When you work from home, the way a room feels matters more than you think. Still a long way to go (lighting, furniture, layers) but this felt like the right first step.
Save this if you’re thinking about green and want something that is timeless.

Tip- I actually color matched the color for this room- but I do recommend splurging on the real deal when it’s going in a space that will get a lot of wear and tear - like a kitchen, dining room, kids space, etc.

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.
