This voiceover is from an interview with Ina Garten, and it stopped me in my tracks.

My parents still tell the story how they’d leave for a dinner out while I babysat my little sister and brother, and by the time they got home, the entire living room would be completely reworked. Not asked for.... but I just had to see if it could feel better. I had recruited my sister and brother to help me move the furniture in an entire new layout!

I didn’t know it then, but that instinct was the beginning of everything.

Fast forward 35 years... I went from being a stay-at-home mom to starting my own business, taking on real clients (not just my parents, who truly didn’t sign up for the redesigns😂 and building something that genuinely fills my cup.

There were so many moments of doubt in between, like starting later, wondering if it was too late, if I’d missed my window. But here’s the thing. It’s never too late to start. To pivot. To build something around what you naturally love.

Sometimes the thing you’re meant to do has been quietly following you your whole life.

Hey, I’m Allison:))

If you’re new here: I’m a self-taught designer with 20+ years of experience. What began as renovating our own homes has grown into a business helping clients coast to coast reimagine their spaces.

Lately I’ve been re-evaluating who we are and what we do best. I have lots of big ideas (dreams, really), but somewhere along the way things got a little muddled. So I’m getting back to the heart of it:

I make homes feel personal. Whether it’s a full renovation or just a few rooms, I help spaces reflect the people who live in them. A skill I’m most proud of? Knowing how to allocate your budget to deliver an elevated design that’s not only beautiful but lasting.

I’m also deeply committed to listening. I take your vision seriously, guide you through the overwhelm, and help turn those ideas into a reality, because I know how hard decisions can feel alone.

This is what clients come to us for. If this resonates, welcome and glad the algorithm brought you here!
Thanks for being here🫶🏻

I say this all the time, but drapery really is one of the most important layers in a room. We had just finished styling this space and it still felt like something was missing... adding these from @onequince was what finally pulled it together.

They add privacy but still let the light come through, and I always look for a bit of texture so things don’t fall flat. These hit that balance really well.

We’re actually planning to layer in bamboo shades here too, but I almost always like to double up on panels like this first. It gives the windows a fuller, more finished look even if they’re mostly decorative.

Also, small tip... these technically aren’t meant for drapery pins, but I pinned them along the back at the pole tabs to get a more tailored feel. Not perfect, but it works and makes them read a bit more custom.

Comment SHOP and we’ll send the link.

Another install for the books! We finished our Tetherow Timber House project in the PNW laat week. Designing dream homes, special spaces, and vacation homes, is such a passion of mine, I feel so lucky it’s what I get to do for a living.

Thanks to everyone who worked hard on this project. CH is what it is because of the people brought into the vision. And thanks to our amazing clients who I love so much, for trusting me with the designs and letting our team do our thing these past couple of days... projects always turn out best that way.
