Kaylei in the Oregon studio, while I’m in the Tennessee office together, collaborating on building out a client’s space... this is what our Premier Virtual Design actually looks like behind the scenes.

Most virtual design services stop at a moodboard, but we’re thinking through how you actually live in your home... what’s working, what’s not, and how every material fits together before you ever click “add to cart.” From detailed floor plans and elevations to fully curated selections and a complete spec guide.

Just delivered in a way that lets you implement it on your own timeline. If you’ve been wanting a designer but don’t necessarily need the full-service logistics, this is exactly where we see this working really well. If that sounds like you, you can inquire through our website or fill out our inquiry form to get started (link in bio) 🤍

There’s a lot of conversation right now about bringing back more enclosed, traditional rooms... and I understand the appeal (tbh, probably what I prefer). But let’s say you have an open layout like our last house...you can still do it with intention and create that cozy, defined space you are wanting.

In this dining space, the goal was to create a place that feels defined in a quite small space right off the kitchen. I wanted it a place to linger, host, and gather.

The banquette (a @ciscobrothers piece I recovered in @schumacher1889 ‘Camden Check’ in “Java”) helped anchor the room, giving it a sense of structure and traffic flow, but also a cozy, intimate feel.

It’s less about open vs. closed, and more about how each space transitions into the next.

Because when it’s working, you don’t really think about it. You just find yourself staying a little longer.

Are you team open concept or team enclosed, more traditional rooms?

Work in progress but here’s a closer look at our living room and some of the pieces that make it sing!

Come back for part 2 to round out this space. I love being able to candidly talk about the progress and special elements that went into designing this room.

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how we actually help clients bring a space together, especially when full-service isn’t the right fit. This kitchen is a good example. What you’re seeing here isn’t just a moodboard... it’s part of a full virtual design plan. Every material, layout, and finish is thoughtfully considered so you can actually execute it on your own.

That’s exactly why we created our Premier Virtual Design service. It’s the same level of detail and intention we bring to full homes, just without the project management. We just shared a full breakdown of this Sonoma-inspired kitchen (plus what you actually receive) over on the blog (link in bio). If it feels like the right fit, you can inquire + book a discovery call with our team. Comment ‘ME’ and I’ll send you the form to fill out!🤍

We had a client awhile back come to us inquiring about our virtual design service.. funny enough they lived in Bend. It really got me thinking. Our virtual design isn’t just limited to clients outside Oregon and Tennessee, but for anyone that wants a beautifully designed room, but is ok with handling the logistics on their own.

We have been working behind the scenes to fine tune this offering because we have seen such success with providing this streamlined design experience. We deliver a fully realized, bespoke space in weeks, not months.
Designed for clients who are comfortable managing implementation, it offers the same level of intention, detail, and direction as our full-service work, without project management.

I can’t wait to share more as we make this service even better- because as I always say...Everything’s meant to evolve. Stay tuned for more. But in the meantime, if you want to learn more, comment below and we will we reach out to you!

Lately, I’ve been reflecting on what really makes me happy. Designing homes is, of course, at the top of that list. But, so are some old hobbies I’m slowly finding my way back to. I’ve realized I actually need to be busy to feel my best. I’m almost always working on a few projects at once... it’s just how I’m wired, and honestly, it’s what makes my heart sing.

This week’s idea? Painting our dining table that I scored on Facebook Marketplace Naturally, I’ve already gone down a full Pinterest rabbit hole exploring all the different directions it could go. Fun fact: I used to paint a lot in my teens. In high school, I started hand-painting basic white Hanes t-shirts and selling them to local boutiques.

They kind of took off (was “going viral” even a thing back then?), and I ended up bringing on a friend to help. My first “employee.”

Looking back, I guess that was also my first real experience with entrepreneurship. I didn’t carry it into college, but it filled me up at the time and paid for gas, which felt just as important. Anyway... wish me luck. I’ll be sharing some behind-the-scenes as I go over on Between the Layers.

Comment ‘Substack’ and I’ll send you the link to subscribe so you don’t miss the updates. I have a feeling this one might get interesting.
