Phase 1 of our install at our Tetherow Timber House project in Bend. This one has been such a joy to work on.

I love our clients and these guys have been some of the best. They have trusted us, leaned on us, and really have been so so fun to work with.

As a result, their home is shaping up to be such a beautiful reflection of all the things they came to us for. A lovely mountain modern home reflective of their lifestyle with some moments of unexpected... as they said, something they wouldn’t have thought of without us.

If you are wanting to begin your own home renovation - we’d love to be a part of your journey and help bring your dream home to life. Inquire at the link in our bio or feel free to message me with any questions regarding how we work.

“Why bring in a designer when I could do it on my own?”

You absolutely can. Most people can get a space to look good but does it function and translate over time?

But what you don’t always see is everything happening behind the scenes: the planning, the sequencing, the material decisions, the scale, the problem-solving when something doesn’t quite work.

It’s not just about choosing pieces. It’s about making hundreds of small decisions that all need to relate to each other.

We’ve been doing this for years, we know what to look for (and what to avoid), we have access to resources you won’t find online, and we manage the chaos so you don’t have to.

If you’re ready to take that off your plate, you can inquire through the link in bio!

Because I know I’d be overwhelmed by this list if I wasn’t privy to the industry.

It gave us a lot of left hooks- but we are still standing. 💪

When I talk about holding our clients hands through projects- I sure wish I had someone holding mine on this one! There were plumbing debacles… we discovered pipes running every which way, structural issues, electrical wires that were a fire hazard, a layout that tested my creativity… the list goes on and on!

Feeling so grateful for all the trades who helped us get here.

The window coverings still need to get installed (the prettiest cafe curtain if you can picture it ) but I just couldn’t wait any longer to share with you…

Now tell me, what is your favorite detail? Because I truly can’t decide. And if you could share/like/save… all the things, to show her some love I would appreciate it so much. 🥰

Life is too short to live in a flat, one-note space.
The details that don’t immediately stand out are often the ones doing the most work. This is one of those.

• Satin on trim
• Eggshell on walls
• Flat on the ceiling

Save this for when you’re picking paint... it makes more of a difference than you think.

Nothing makes me happier than getting to reveal our long awaited upstairs guest bath!

Comment ‘BATH’ and I’ll send you everything to get this look.

This was the very first room we demoed at the Sixth Street Bungalow, and easily one of the biggest transformations. What started as a simple update turned into redoing floors, vaulting the ceiling, and completely reworking the plumbing.

Now it actually works for how we live and host. With proper storage, a place for guests to hang clothes, built-in linen space, and a layout that finally makes sense.

At the core of every project for us is this idea: designing for how a space feels and functions, not just how it looks on paper. Every decision here was about creating something that feels lived-in, thoughtful, and quietly layered.

The details are what bring that to life. The custom sink skirts might be my favorite. They’re slightly feminine, but grounded in a way that still feels tailored and not too precious.

A long time coming, but exactly how it was meant to be! Hope you enjoy it:)

We are debunking a common misconception... people think that designing a room is picking out material things to go in them. But in actuality it’s about creating a feeling.

It’s something we see all the time. Because the focus is on the pieces, not the experience of living there day to day.

On Between the Layers, we’re diving into what it actually means to design from a feeling first. How to define it, why it matters, and how it changes every decision you make.

If you’ve ever felt like your space is close but not quite right, or you’re constantly second guessing what to add next to make it feel “better”... this is for you.
