We’ve been deep in the demo phase at the Sixth Street Bungalow, and it’s been both messy and motivating. This upstairs bathroom has kept us on our toes. We’ve re-routed plumbing, reworked the layout, and looked for every possible way to make the most of this space.

Design-wise, it’s a balance of old and new. Classic materials, warm finishes, and soft neutrals that bring a sense of history back into a house that’s been through so many hands. It’s the part of the process that doesn’t always look pretty, but it’s where the good stuff starts to take shape.

This first part of the renovation is coming together, slowly but surely. I can already picture the light hitting that tile in the morning.

Ever feel like your house is 80% there, but you can’t nail the last 20%?

Too many tabs open, seasons changing, guests coming, and the room still feels... unfinished? Here’s the fix I use with clients (and at home)!

I bundled exact sources and vendor recs so you can click once and be done.

Comment ‘List’ and I’ll send you my recommendations so you can get the full shopping list + room recipes for a classic but modern look.

Last week when we shared our Etsy finds, a few people asked who we actually source from, and truthfully, it’s a mix. We use Etsy all the time for things like lighting, custom pillows, drapery, and hardware. I always check lead times, message the seller (they’re usually so helpful), and read reviews before ordering. It’s worth paying attention to responsiveness and how items are shipped... especially when something’s vintage or one-of-a-kind. Nothing’s worse than falling in love with a piece that arrives damaged.

So, we pulled together a little guide of our favorite vendors that are tried, trusted, and genuinely so good.

Save this post for the next time you want to shop on Etsy but don’t know where to start.

Hi friends, if you’re new here, welcome and consider this your invite.

Sunday’s are the one day of the week where I can slow down, reflect, and share what’s actually happening bts. Things like what we’re designing, what we’re cooking, what’s inspiring me lately. It’s equal parts journal and catch-up, filled with home tours, my favorite discoveries, and the things that make life + home feel thoughtful again.

I know inboxes can get loud, so I promise to keep it simple, useful, and real. We chose Sundays for a reason... it’s the reset we all need after a week that moved too fast.

If that sounds like your kind of ritual, comment ‘ME’ below or head to the link in bio to subscribe. Would love to have you there!

Furniture is arriving at the Sun Valley Saddle House 🤎 Pieces from vendors like @oldhickoryfurniture are what makes my heart skip a beat. And the custom sectional from @mosshomeusa — I’m 💀! Ok, I know I geek out over furniture details, but sourcing beautiful accents like these for our clients’ new home is a part of my job that truly makes me so happy. I can already feel how much soul they are going to add to the home. They are rugged, romantic and textural. Everything we love about this project is coming to life and we can’t wait to share more soon!
