Nothing makes me happier than getting to reveal our long awaited upstairs guest bath!

Comment ‘BATH’ and I’ll send you everything to get this look.

This was the very first room we demoed at the Sixth Street Bungalow, and easily one of the biggest transformations. What started as a simple update turned into redoing floors, vaulting the ceiling, and completely reworking the plumbing.

Now it actually works for how we live and host. With proper storage, a place for guests to hang clothes, built-in linen space, and a layout that finally makes sense.

At the core of every project for us is this idea: designing for how a space feels and functions, not just how it looks on paper. Every decision here was about creating something that feels lived-in, thoughtful, and quietly layered.

The details are what bring that to life. The custom sink skirts might be my favorite. They’re slightly feminine, but grounded in a way that still feels tailored and not too precious.

A long time coming, but exactly how it was meant to be! Hope you enjoy it:)

We are debunking a common misconception... people think that designing a room is picking out material things to go in them. But in actuality it’s about creating a feeling.

It’s something we see all the time. Because the focus is on the pieces, not the experience of living there day to day.

On Between the Layers, we’re diving into what it actually means to design from a feeling first. How to define it, why it matters, and how it changes every decision you make.

If you’ve ever felt like your space is close but not quite right, or you’re constantly second guessing what to add next to make it feel “better”... this is for you.

Don’t mind the current state of things... it’s a bit of a disaster in here right now. I shared the vision on stories, but I’m such a visual person that I wanted to pull everything together (both for you and honestly for myself) to see how all the elements will work together.

The first things I knew I wanted in this space:
A fun pop of color (Charlotte’s Locks by @Farrow&Ball)
A mosaic floor
An inset mirrored medicine cabinet

I think this is going to be such a fun space for when we have people over. A powder bath is the perfect place to do something a little unexpected (or a few things) and really lean into it.

I’ll share more as we go!

I had a potential client ask me on our discovery call the other day... “What can I expect from you... What are you really good at?”

And I loved that they asked this. I rambled way more than this 😂, but the gist of my answer was simple:
Our team is really good at guiding the process from initial direction through the final details so it all comes together the way we envision. I am a real stickler for details.
Period. And I know this to be true, our clients walk away feeling relieved that we are managing it all for them. Because let’s be honest- there are thousands of decisions that we help them make from beginning to end.

We offer both virtual and full-service design, depending on your project needs. Link in bio to inquire. We’d love to hear more about your project plans and how we can best help bring your dream home to life!

P.S. The beautiful styling accents and artwork you see in this home were sourced from a Bend favorite @borgorosati.

Between the Layers is where it all comes together 🤍

Timeless interiors layered with vintage and new, the pieces that quietly shape how I design, what I’m currently loving, and the real behind-the-scenes of our home projects as they unfold.

It’s slower, more thoughtful… and a little closer to how it all actually happens.

If you’re into design that feels personal, lived-in, and always evolving, then you’re in the right place. Thanks for being here.

March recap... where do I even begin!

It’s honestly so hard for me to share updates without giving away everything or without waiting until it’s “perfect.” (which... will it ever be?😂) I say this to Derrick all the time and he just rolls his eyes because he knows... I’II change my mind, move something, tweak a detail. That’s kind of the whole point though, right? A home is meant to evolve.

Even when I finally share a “reveal,” I already know there will be a version two... and probably a version three after that.

But truthfully, this past month has felt like a turning point. We’ve gotten so much done, and for the first time it’s actually starting to feel like a home-just in time for guests coming to stay with us this month (no pressure 😅).

More reveals coming soon, but for now... here’s a little peek behind the scenes.
