Soaking in every little moment from our Santa Monica trip last week 🌴 As a mom, spending one on one time with each child is always good for the soul. I made this a tradition with each of our kids after graduation and I can’t recommend sneaking away- whether that’s in your city for a staycation or jumping on a plane for a little weekend adventure. Quality time with my kids always fills me up and reminds me the “why” I do what I do in this crazy thing called life.
We talked about things we never talk about. We laughed. A lot. We had tough conversations about missing school life. He told me about his dreams... ones I didn’t realize. What he values in friendships. What he doesn’t need in his life. We reminisced about the family road trip to Yosemite in a RV that was falling apart as we travelled (ie. I had to lean out the passenger window to tell D when he could change lanes since we lost a side mirror amongst other mishaps 😂). We decided our new favorite summer cocktail was the Pina Calabra at @propersantamonica rooftop pool and pasta @giorgiobaldi_ristorante is the BEST summer meal.
I’m sharing a full recap on the blog: what we did, where we ate, and all the little details I want to remember forever. Part travel guide, part journal entry.
Comment ‘LA’ and we’ll send you the link to read the full post!
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
