how to style a home bar Archives - Interior Design Studio in Bend, OR

We’re big fans of the IKEA PAX system! And if you’ve been following for a while, you might recognize it from the High Desert Tumalo Ranch, our last home.

We originally used these wardrobes as closet overflow in our bedroom and primary closet, and they worked so well that we’re bringing the same idea into our upstairs bathroom at Sixth Street Bungalow. With limited storage in the adjoining guest rooms, this felt like the smartest, most functional (and let’s not forget affordable) solution.

The key is making it feel intentional. We always add trim and base molding for a built-in look, upgrade the hardware, and paint them so they feel custom. In Tumalo, we even used curtain panels for a softer, layered feel.

It’s proof that good design isn’t about reinventing the wheel but about using the right tools, the right way.

Save this if you’re short on storage but want it to look beautiful.

If you need an excuse to gather your favorite women... this is it. I’ll take a night with the girls over just about anything💕

A good cocktail, a few pretty details, something fun to wear, and the kind of night that turns into a core memory.

Sharing what I’d serve, wear, and set out for hosting (or just romanticizing the idea). Hint- you’ll never believe where I found the red/white plates- a staple, but so cute this time of year. Save this one for now and later.

If you want the links, DM me and I’ll send you the details.

The February Edit- The Softness Edition
This month, I’ve been leaning into softness... anything that makes winter feel less heavy.

Not big moments... just the everyday kind of romance:
What I’m wearing, watching, listening to, and surrounding myself with to beat the winter blues.

In this month’s Edit I’m sharing:
- my newest fashion accessory obsession that I think makes an outfit
- a timeless material that I’m seeing EVERYWHERE in fashion and home design
- what I can’t stop telling friends to watch and read
- a daily ritual to beat dull winter skin

Everything is linked in LTK, with the full roundup on the blog.

Possible? Sure.
Recommended? ...not so much.😅

A kitchen renovation isn’t just cabinets and tile. It’s hundreds of decisions stacked on top of each other.
Even in this phase alone, I can easily count 60+ choices we’ve guided our clients through: layout, lighting, functionality, finishes, details you don’t think about until it’s too late.

That’s the difference between a kitchen that’s pretty... and one that truly works beautifully for the way you live.

Our experience helps you avoid expensive “oops” moments and get it right the first time.

And don’t worry, this is just the beginning. The reveal is coming soon, so stay tuned

If you’re planning a kitchen (or already overwhelmed), explore our design services — we’d love to help.

✨ A new chapter of the Monthly Edit ✨
(The February Edit goes live tonight at 5pm CST.)

Almost two years ago, I started sharing these little roundups as a way to collect the things I genuinely loved. Pieces for the home, beautiful finds, items I’d saved or purchased again and again.

But over time, it’s evolved into something more.

Because design inspiration doesn’t come from just one place.

It comes from what we’re watching on a cozy night in…
the places we travel…
the fashion trends we can’t stop pinning…
the beauty products we swear by (I’m always testing something new 🙋‍♀️)…
the music that brings us right back to another season of life.

Everything we experience shapes the way we see, and the way we design.

So each month, I’ll be sharing a peek into what’s inspiring me right now! Home, lifestyle, culture (all of it) downloaded from my little world into one Edit.

If you want a glimpse into my (slightly chaotic) designer brain, follow along. 🤍

Save this Reel! The full February Edit goes live tonight at 5pm CST.
