How To Make Your Home Uniquely You

When we design for our clients, our approach is deeply rooted in intentionality. Based in Bend, Oregon, we offer many nationwide services personalized to your needs and varying design styles. Understanding how you, our dear clients, navigate your daily routines helps us tailor each element of your home to be both functional and reflective of your individuality. Thoughtful design choices not only enhance the aesthetic appeal, but also ensure that every corner of your living space serves a purpose.

As designers, we believe that a home should be more than just a collection of furniture and décor — it should tell a story. It’s about infusing the essence of those who live there into every design decision. From the layout that facilitates seamless movement to colors that evoke emotion, our goal is to craft environments that feel like an extension of our clients’ identities.

Elevate Your Walls: Personalize with Gallery Walls

Gallery walls are a design feature we absolutely adore for their ability to infuse personality into any space. Mixing artwork, prints, and cherished treasures allows us to create visually captivating displays that reflect our clients’ unique tastes and experiences. 

Whether it’s integrating pieces collected during travels, heirlooms passed down through generations, thrifted finds, or personal mementos, each item adds layers to the narrative of our designs. Embracing variety in sizes, frames, and textures enables us to craft gallery walls that feel curated and deeply personal. Let your walls tell the story of who you are and what matters most — a true reflection of your journey and passions.

Refined Detail Work in Your Home

Detail work like trim, molding, and shiplap is where we get really excited as designers. Shiplap, in particular, holds a special place in our hearts. It fits perfectly into farmhouse vibes, and it can give a sleek modern home a touch of rustic charm. Its clean, classic lines bring sophistication to any space while keeping it cozy and inviting. 

What’s truly magical about shiplap is how effortlessly it adds personality and character. Whether we’re creating a stunning accent wall or transforming an entire room, shiplap brings that crisp, timeless charm.

Embracing Wood Ceilings for Warmth and Richness

Wood ceilings are a total game-changer for adding warmth and richness to a room. Unlike walls and floors that get all the attention, ceilings often get overlooked. But let me tell you, a wood ceiling can take your space from basic to beautiful in no time. It’s like bringing a piece of nature indoors, with those natural knots and textures that make you feel instantly cozy.

Think about it — instead of just slapping on a coat of paint, why not go for wood beams, paneling, or shiplap? These materials not only add a touch of rustic charm, but also bring in that earthy vibe that makes a room feel so inviting. Plus, they draw your eye upward, showcasing the architectural beauty of your home’s highest points.

Would You Like Artistic Bathroom Cabinets in Your Home?

Well, imagine scalloped vanities that add a touch of whimsy, or antique dressers repurposed with sleek marble countertops. Opt for a cabinet/vanity that makes a statement! 

Personally, I’m inspired by French history when it comes to bathroom aesthetics — think elegant curves, intricate details, and a touch of vintage charm. Embrace organic shapes and materials to bring a sense of natural beauty into your bathroom.

Below is some cool cabinet inspiration that I hope you’ll see more of in 2024!

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.
This fireplace was… a lot 😅 Demo always looks scary before it gets good. We’re officially past the messy part and heading into all the exciting details—follow along as this space starts to come to life!
