This one has been ringing in my ears lately. We’ve been doing a lot of reflecting and a lot of dreaming. I’m realizing that at any point in life, you can choose to shift, realign, or completely change directions. And sometimes, the biggest changes start with the quietest nudges.✨

Without saying too much just yet... we’ve been leaning into a slower rhythm, choosing what feels right for us, and finally making a move that’s been on our hearts for a while. Can’t wait to share more next week.

But for now, just a little reminder: your life is yours to build.

Life is Short. Make it beautiful... so make it full, and make it yours.

Comment “STYLE” if you’ve made one of these mistakes before I see them all the time, and trust me, l’ve made a few myself.

1. You’re pinning minimalism and cottagecore in the same breath
2. Every room is beige on beige because it feels the “safest”
3. You bought the cute chair... but never sit in it
4. You forgot the last 10% that actually makes the space you

If any of this feels familiar, you’re not alone. I put together a free guide to help you design with confidence—no more guesswork or decision fatigue. It’s the exact framework I use in our full-service projects to create homes that feel layered, thoughtful, and personal.

Life is short. Make it beautiful!

It’s time! We’re officially hosting our Tumalo Ranch Moving Sale - happening Saturday and Sunday, September 6-7 right here at the house.
We’ll be parting with some of our most-loved pieces: antiques, decor, furniture, and more.

If you’ve had your eye on anything in our home, we are selling a lot!! Here’s a sneak peek of everything we are going to be saying goodbye to (and know there’s more - we will be sharing more bts as we get closer).

DM us for address + time details
Tag 3 friends who need to come (and the first 15 comments will get early access to shop one hour before the sale opens to the public if you so desire!)

We can’t wait to see what new homes these pieces find (it’s first come first serve, so make sure to bring your tape measures!)

Feeling extra grateful today... Our Black Butte Beauty project was just featured in @portrait.magazine.usa 🖤 This home was one of the first big Bend design projects that really pushed us to trust our gut and lean into the vision, and it will always hold a special place in my heart.

It’s wild (and so humbling) to see it still getting love years after we wrapped (and a great reminder that good design isn’t trendy, but personal and thoughtful!)

This one taught me so much. Lessons about balancing rustic, but modern and comfortable. But also, what it means to create a forever kind of vacation home, and trusting the design process.

Big thank you @olinarchitecture and @dyerconstruction for bringing this to life. To our clients for entrusting in me to make their a home a cozy retreat for their family. And @zeewendell for capturing it so beautifully. It means more than you know

You’re going to be counting down the days until your next jar of jam is empty once you watch this!

Not to be dramatic but this shaken espresso in an almost-empty strawberry jam jar might’ve just changed the trajectory of my entire morning routine. LOL. But seriously, who would’ve thought something so simple could be this delish. I’m completely obsessed.

I love berries so much that I’ve decided it’s not a jam girl summer, but instead, let’s stretch it into a jam girl autumn! Yesterday on the blog we shared some of our favorite berry infused items (link in bio)

So save those almost empty jars with that yummy strawberry goodness and mix with a shot of espresso and whole milk. Yeah yeah, I know, you can thank me later. Cheers.
