gifts for men Archives - Interior Design Studio in Bend, OR

We’re settling into summer here in Bend, and honestly-this town just thrives this time of year. Long sun-drenched days, the scent of sunscreen and juniper in the air, bikes everywhere, and backyard dinners that somehow always end with s’mores. We’ve already found ourselves dipping into the river on a whim and soaking up every golden hour moment we can.

I grew up spending summers in Sunriver, so Bend has always held a special place in my heart. But now that we live here, we’ve uncovered even more of the good stuff-local gems, quiet spots, and the kind of everyday magic that makes this place feel like home.

With summer in full swing (and because I’ll take any excuse to play tour guide), I thought l’d share my summer guide to Bend. A love letter to my favorite little mountain town and a round-up of everything that makes summer here feel like its own kind of celebration.

I’m probably forgetting a few gems, so if you have a go-to, drop it my way! And make sure to save for your next visit!

Introducing Sun Valley Saddle House — a western-spirited, layered renovation tucked in the Idaho mountains. We’re working on everything from entryway to bunkroom, reimagining this home with a fresh lens on rustic elegance and casual utility.

Pendleton patterns, copper accents, and a layered mix of leather, plaid, floral, and stone. It’s textural, rooted, nostalgic. There’s nothing “trendy” about this one — just timeless design choices that feel collected and connected to the land.

Are you drawn to this look? Would you live in a space like this? Is this your dream palette? We’d love to hear your thoughts.

We have a few project spots open if you’re craving a fresh start this fall. Whether you’re dreaming of a total refresh or simply want to finally make your space feel pulled together, we can help.

📍Sun Valley, ID

Let us know if you want to work together — we’d love to bring this kind of lived-in beauty to your home, too.

After years of designing for others, I created something to help you design for yourself.

Real talk, if you’ve been here a while, you’ve probably heard me mention our Design Guides. But today I want to share the WHY behind them.

Over the years, Derrick and I have poured our hearts into creating homes that feel beautiful not just aesthetically, but personally. Spaces that tell our story.

And that’s exactly what I wanted to help you do, too. These guides are more than just pretty moodboards-—they’re tools to help you figure out what makes you feel at home.

Because defining your style? That’s the first step to creating a space that actually feels like you.

And while we love working 1:1 with clients, I also know that not everyone wants—or needs—a full service designer. So though: what if l could hand over the same roadmap I use everyday.

That’s what these guides are.

Think of it as a designer in your back pocket-without the price tag or the long timeline.
Each guide includes:
• Shoppable moodboards
• Paint recommendations
• Furniture & material suggestions
• Style direction you can stick to
• Visual examples to take out the guesswork

It’s a shortcut to a pulled-together, elevated home-with soul.
