Hot take but... perfectly matching furniture, fabrics, and finishes is usually what makes a home feel the least personal.

I know it seems like the safe choice, but it’s also what makes everything fall a little flat. The spaces that feel the most interesting (and the most “you”) are the ones that mix things a bit.

Old + new
Structured + relaxed
A little unexpected but still makes sense

It’s less about following a blueprint and more about building something that feels collected over time. Because no one wants their house to feel like a showroom!!

If the idea of curating a beautifully layered home overwhelms you-that’s where we believe we shine the most! Reach out so we can chat how we can help.

Most people think they’re stuck because they haven’t chosen the right style. So they take the quiz. They save more inspiration.

They toggle between two aesthetics. And somehow... they feel more unsure. But the problem usually isn’t the style. It’s that they haven’t decided how they want their home to feel. Because you can execute the exact same aesthetic in completely different ways, and end up with two entirely different emotional experiences. One can feel grounding and cocooning. Another can feel airy and serene (like our past Westgate Stay project). Same category. Different outcome.

And if this sounds like you, don’t worry! This is exactly where most people get tripped up. The good news? We’re going to fix that by shifting the question. Comment ‘ME’ if you want to read more on Between the Layers

I know my routines, what I reach for daily, how I want a space to function for me. That part makes designing for myself feel easy. (But making decisions for myself is where things get tricky LOL).

The difference is, I know what’s a non-negotiable for me. I know what actually matters day to day, not just what looks good.

And that’s really how I approach client work too.
It’s not just about picking beautiful pieces. It’s about asking the right questions, understanding how you live, and reading between the lines a bit. What you say you want... and what you actually need can be two different things.

That’s where we come in. We help make sense of it all so your home doesn’t just look good, it works for you in a way that feels natural.

Comment ‘ME’ to get all of these items delivered straight to your inbox! I hope you can join me over there each week:)

Are you all ready for summer like I am?!? Our team loves pulling all the inspo and things that are shaping our design work each month. June is my favorite... for a lot of reasons, because, one: I’m a total warm weather girl and two: it’s Derrick’s and my anniversary month! I can’t believe we are celebrating 29 years next week!

Anyway, I digress... I’m breaking down all the things in today’s Between The Layers post (live at 5:00 PST). I can’t wait to share with you allllll the things we have our eyes on for projects.

I’m even sharing some items I have been debating for our house because I need your help assuring me I’m not crazy with all these ideas I have brewing.😂

If you’re going to be creative, you have to be willing to stay in a bit of a playful mindset... not everything can be overthought or perfectly safe, because that’s usually when things start to fall flat. I see this all the time, even in my own home, where the moments I almost didn’t do something end up being the ones I love the most. The same goes for our client work. The best spaces don’t come from playing it safe, they come from trusting the process and being open to ideas you might not have considered at first. That’s really the point of hiring a designer, especially at a higher level. You’re not bringing us in to repeat what you already know you like or to be directed every step of the way. You’re bringing us in for our perspective, our resources, and the ability to see things a little differently. We’re never going to lead you in a direction that doesn’t work, but we are going to push you a bit, because that’s where a space starts to feel more thoughtful, more layered, and ultimately a more thoughtful, refined version of your vision. Brought to life with a level of detail that’s hard to achieve without a clear plan behind it.

If you’re thinking about hiring a designer but not totally sure where to start... this is your sign to not overthink it. The best advice I can give you is to trust who you hired for a reason. And if you want to dip your toe in, try it on a smaller scale first.

That’s exactly why we offer our Designer-for-a-Day + Consultation services. It gives you a chance to see how we can help, get a feel for our process, and start making real progress in your home without diving straight into a full-service project.

Whether it’s one room that’s been driving you crazy or just needing direction to make everything feel more cohesive, it’s such a good starting point!

It’s truly one of our favorite ways to work with people. Inquire today on your website. Link in bio.
