This was a client project we had so much fun bringing to life!
And with spring right around the corner, we’re officially shifting into outdoor mode over here.
This week, we’re talking all things outdoor spaces. How to get yours ready in time for the season, simple upgrades that make a big impact, and even sharing updates on our own exterior plans (fence, patio, garden... all of it.
If you’ve been staring at your backyard thinking “we need to do something out here...” this is your sign.
Stay tuned for this week’s blogs!
I can’t believe we haven’t done New York City sooner!
New York has such a specific energy (fast, layered, and full of contrast) and that really shaped this design.
Smaller spaces force you to commit to a style and make every piece count, which is something I actually love about city living. This one leans industrial but still feels comfortable and lived-in.
Comment ‘NYC’ for the links.
Lately, we’ve noticed some recurring questions come up around our work — where we’re located, how involved clients need to be, and what you’re really investing in when you hire a designer. This post is meant to offer clarity and context, not overwhelm.
And if you’re still wondering about something specific, feel free to reach out. Thoughtful questions are always welcome here:)
Unreasonable. Not practical. Not safe. Not “that’s good enough.”
Unreasonable passion.
For the way light pours into your kitchen at 4pm. For the way your sofa feels at the end of a long day. For the dining table that holds sunday dinners and hard conversations and belly laughs.
I don’t believe in designing homes that are just fine.
I believe in spaces that make you feel something.
That tell your story. That hold your memories.
Because this life? It moves fast. Our babies grow up. Seasons change. Chapters close.
So yes... I’m going to care deeply about the tile.
About the trim detail. About the way the space flows.
Not because it’s “just design.” But because it’s where your life unfolds.
Eight years ago I started my design business when Derrick was unemployed. It was a leap of faith to help support our family. I had no idea where it would lead.
Then we chose to build this business together. Exciting… and terrifying. Running a design + renovation company side by side stretches you (as entrepreneurs and as husband and wife).
We started over AGAIN and moved across the country to Tennessee!
It hasn’t been easy. There have been dark days… stress, uncertainty, moments that felt lonely.
But there have also been incredible highs — clients who trust us, a team that amazes me, opportunities I never could have planned for.
And recently, as I looked back through my camera roll, I realized something…
It’s not just the big milestones that built this life.
It’s the quiet moments. The moments you don’t realize are building the life you once only dreamt of. 🤍
Little by little, the life I once dreamed about… is becoming my reality. ✨
If you’re scared to start over… believe me when I say, I totally get it.
Just do it. (Maybe it’s all those years working at Nike that has rubbed off on me)
But seriously, show up each day for the life you want.
I’m here if you want to chat, just send me a DM. xx
