One thing I wish we talked about more: you’re allowed to change direction.

At 20, I thought by this point in life I’d have everything figured out. Very funny. Turns out some of the best decisions I’ve made came after plans changed, things got uncomfortable, and I had absolutely no idea what was next. There’s something really freeing about getting older and caring a little less about what your life is supposed to look like.

So if you’ve been quietly thinking about doing the thing, changing the thing, starting the thing... maybe this is your nudge. You don’t need to have it all figured out first.

I certainly didn’t. Thanks for following along on our journey as I figure out this little thing called life. The support, honest conversations, and encouragement from this community mean more to me than you probably realize.

September has always been one of my favorite months.
It’s still very much summer here in Tennessee, but I can feel myself slowly wanting fall. Lamps on a little earlier, cooking at home again, deeper colors creeping in, a glass of wine outside when the weather cooperates.
We are finally shooting Sixth Street today after almost a YEAR of working on this house, which honestly feels a little surreal. The new website is coming together, work is busy, my birthday is around the corner... just lots happening and lots to be grateful for.

I’m not ready to rush summer out the door, but I’m also very into what’s coming next. This little in-between might actually be my favorite part.

This was such a strange full-circle moment. I could immediately remember being 30 years old, standing in those rooms with Derrick and trying to figure out what the heck we were doing!! We had ideas. We weren’t afraid of a project. I had loved design long before it became my career. But I didn’t have a process yet.

Now, after 15 years of designing homes for other people, I can see exactly what I was missing: a way to make the decisions as a whole instead of one at a time (and on my own).

That’s probably why The Design Suite feels so personal to me. It’s built for someone who reminds me a lot of myself back then—the homeowner who appreciates beautiful spaces, is happy to execute, but wants an experienced design team to establish the vision and work through the decisions before the orders are placed and the contractor needs answers.

And you don’t have to do it all tomorrow. Having the plan means you can implement it at the pace that makes sense for you. I would’ve loved to have that roadmap in this little Portland house.

If you’re standing in your own version of it right now, wondering where to begin, I’d love to hear about it.

That awkward stairway you have no idea what to do with? Start here. OR If your stairway feels cold or unfinished, adding more to the walls might not be the answer.

There’s something about a sisal rug that instantly makes a stairway teel warm, layered, timeless, and less like just a passing through space @sisalrugsdirect. I chose Arrow in Honey with a wide cotton border in Cardamom to bring in natural texture without overwhelming the space. It’s the perfect foundation... The best rooms always start from the ground up.

And if you’ve been thinking about adding one to your own home, @sisalrugsdirect is having a Labor Day Sale from 9/7-9/11. Take 15% off natural fiber rugs with code LD15.

Some of the most expensive-looking things in my home... weren’t expensive. And I think that’s one of the biggest misconceptions about good design-that you have to spend everywhere for a room to look considered.

There are places I will tell you to spend the money every single time. And then there are the $100 lamp, $50 pillow cover, or under-$200 accent chair that I’d happily pay twice as much for because the shape, material and proportion are just right.

Knowing the difference is the fun part.

I rounded up those finds on Between the Layers—including quite a few I actually own and use in my own home (link in bio).

Save this for the next time you’re convinced the expensive option must be the better one.

September always does something to my design brain.
These are 5 things I can’t stop pinning right now as we head into fall. Some were already working into our own home and some are showing up in client projects.

I’m going much deeper on all five in today’s Design Board Pinnings—how I’d actually use them, the ideas I’m saving, pieces I’ve sourced + a few things we’re doing at Sixth Street.

It lands in inboxes later today. Comment ‘LIST’ (or link in bio) and I’ll send you the link to subscribe so you don’t miss it.
