A renovation is rarely undone by a lack of inspiration.
Itās 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 donāt feel urgent until they are the only thing you can see.
And while hiring a designer can feel like a significant investment, what youāre 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 isnāt the design fee.
Itās completing your renovation and realizing it doesnāt feel the way you hoped it would.
If youāre planning a remodel or new build and want it done with intention from the start, weād love to work with you!
Weāre big fans of the IKEA PAX system! And if youāve 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 weāre 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 letās 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.
Itās proof that good design isnāt about reinventing the wheel but about using the right tools, the right way.
Save this if youāre short on storage but want it to look beautiful.
If you need an excuse to gather your favorite women... this is it. Iāll take a night with the girls over just about anythingš
A good cocktail, a few pretty details, something fun to wear, and the kind of night that turns into a core memory.
Sharing what Iād serve, wear, and set out for hosting (or just romanticizing the idea). Hint- youāll never believe where I found the red/white plates- a staple, but so cute this time of year. Save this one for now and later.
If you want the links, DM me and Iāll send you the details.
The February Edit- The Softness Edition
This month, Iāve been leaning into softness... anything that makes winter feel less heavy.
Not big moments... just the everyday kind of romance:
What Iām wearing, watching, listening to, and surrounding myself with to beat the winter blues.
In this monthās Edit Iām sharing:
- my newest fashion accessory obsession that I think makes an outfit
- a timeless material that Iām seeing EVERYWHERE in fashion and home design
- what I canāt stop telling friends to watch and read
- a daily ritual to beat dull winter skin
Everything is linked in LTK, with the full roundup on the blog.
Possible? Sure.
Recommended? ...not so much.š
A kitchen renovation isnāt just cabinets and tile. Itās hundreds of decisions stacked on top of each other.
Even in this phase alone, I can easily count 60+ choices weāve guided our clients through: layout, lighting, functionality, finishes, details you donāt think about until itās too late.
Thatās the difference between a kitchen thatās pretty... and one that truly works beautifully for the way you live.
Our experience helps you avoid expensive āoopsā moments and get it right the first time.
And donāt worry, this is just the beginning. The reveal is coming soon, so stay tuned

⨠A new chapter of the Monthly Edit āØ
(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 Iād saved or purchased again and again.
But over time, itās evolved into something more.
Because design inspiration doesnāt come from just one place.
It comes from what weāre watching on a cozy night inā¦
the places we travelā¦
the fashion trends we canāt stop pinningā¦
the beauty products we swear by (Iām always testing something new šāāļø)ā¦
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, Iāll be sharing a peek into whatās 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. š¤
