If I Could Design a Cottage in Ireland

St. Patty’s Day always has a way of putting Ireland on my mind—but this year…

A Case for Painted Wood Floors

There’s something about a deadline that makes decisions happen. My parents are coming to visit…

How We Turned a Formal Home Into a Fresh,
Functional, and Feel-Good Space

The Project Two years in the making. Forty-eight hours of installing, styling, and watching this…

Don’t mind the current state of things... it’s a bit of a disaster in here right now. I shared the vision on stories, but I’m such a visual person that I wanted to pull everything together (both for you and honestly for myself) to see how all the elements will work together.

The first things I knew I wanted in this space:
A fun pop of color (Charlotte’s Locks by @Farrow&Ball)
A mosaic floor
An inset mirrored medicine cabinet

I think this is going to be such a fun space for when we have people over. A powder bath is the perfect place to do something a little unexpected (or a few things) and really lean into it.

I’ll share more as we go!

I had a potential client ask me on our discovery call the other day... “What can I expect from you... What are you really good at?”

And I loved that they asked this. I rambled way more than this 😂, but the gist of my answer was simple:
Our team is really good at guiding the process from initial direction through the final details so it all comes together the way we envision. I am a real stickler for details.
Period. And I know this to be true, our clients walk away feeling relieved that we are managing it all for them. Because let’s be honest- there are thousands of decisions that we help them make from beginning to end.

We offer both virtual and full-service design, depending on your project needs. Link in bio to inquire. We’d love to hear more about your project plans and how we can best help bring your dream home to life!

P.S. The beautiful styling accents and artwork you see in this home were sourced from a Bend favorite @borgorosati.

Between the Layers is where it all comes together 🤍

Timeless interiors layered with vintage and new, the pieces that quietly shape how I design, what I’m currently loving, and the real behind-the-scenes of our home projects as they unfold.

It’s slower, more thoughtful… and a little closer to how it all actually happens.

If you’re into design that feels personal, lived-in, and always evolving, then you’re in the right place. Thanks for being here.

March recap... where do I even begin!

It’s honestly so hard for me to share updates without giving away everything or without waiting until it’s “perfect.” (which... will it ever be?😂) I say this to Derrick all the time and he just rolls his eyes because he knows... I’II change my mind, move something, tweak a detail. That’s kind of the whole point though, right? A home is meant to evolve.

Even when I finally share a “reveal,” I already know there will be a version two... and probably a version three after that.

But truthfully, this past month has felt like a turning point. We’ve gotten so much done, and for the first time it’s actually starting to feel like a home-just in time for guests coming to stay with us this month (no pressure 😅).

More reveals coming soon, but for now... here’s a little peek behind the scenes.

Introducing Between the Layers… my Substack- a new space where I can share more than what fits here.

Comment ‘YES’ and I’ll send you the link, or head to the link in bio to subscribe. 🫶

Think of it as a behind-the-scenes look at how I see and think about design… and everything around it. I have been dreaming about this for a bit and I can’t wait to take you along!

Less “perfect posts,” more real life.
More context. More depth. More of the why. When we are working on content here, Emma (my daughter and social media manager) is always saying “we can’t say all of that, it’s too long”... I guess I have a lot to share! 😂

Inside you’ll find:
– how to make confident design decisions
– real project breakdowns (what worked, what didn’t)
– building a home you want to be in
– what I’m loving, wearing, cooking, saving
– the in-between moments that shape how a home feels

It’s for anyone who loves design… but also wants to understand it.

If you’ve ever wondered how to make it all come together, this is for you!

Galway, Ireland — coastal cottage mood 🌊

Comment ‘COTTAGE’ if you have your eye on something from this look!

These location posts (live on the blog!) might look effortless, but they’re rooted in something very real to our process: clarity. When you’re overwhelmed by options, trends, and a thousand saved images, what you need is direction.

That’s what we do.

We take the feeling (in this case: windswept, layered, storied) and translate it into real decisions. Paint colors. Hardware swaps. Furnishings that work together. A space that finally feels cohesive instead of halfway there.

Whether you have a vacation home, a second property, or a family home that just needs thoughtful cosmetic upgrades... you don’t have to figure it out alone.

We work with clients nationwide - from full renovations to simple, impactful refreshes.

If you’re ready for your home to feel like the dream you’ve been pinning, let’s bring it to life.
