We opted for this 9x12 natural fiber jute rug in our den.

Honestly, the weight, the texture, the tone, it just works.
I’ve actually repurchased this rug multiple times for my own home, which says everything. It’s one of those foundational pieces that instantly grounds a space and layers in that warm, collected feel.

If you’re looking for a neutral that doesn’t fall flat, this is always one I come back to.

What a week and a half 🫶🏻 visiting our Tetherow Timber House project and reconnecting with my Oregon roots... Here’s a couple of casual snapshots from our install.

What used to be a builder grade home now feels layered, calm, and deeply considered. Elevated but still easy. Refined, but still lived in (for a vacation home). Official before and afters to come.

After their first few nights here, their feedback was everything. They shared that they couldn’t wait to finally be able to enjoy their reimagined home!

That’s always the goal. Not just a beautiful home, but one that you can’t wait to live in.

Xx,
Allison

There are seasons in both our homes and in business where things just… don’t move the way you thought they would.

Renovating our own projects has always been the biggest reminder of that. Timelines stretch, decisions take longer, and what felt so clear at the start ends up shifting along the way. It can be humbling, to say the least. And building this business has felt really similar. We’ve learned that rushing to get to the end usually just creates more work later. Slowing down, paying attention, and making thoughtful decisions as you go tends to get you somewhere better.

In a home, that might look like reworking a layout until it finally feels right or waiting on that one material that quietly pulls everything together (instead of panic-ordering something at 10pm.. Been there!).

In business, it’s looked like getting clearer on what we actually want to be known for and letting that guide everything else. It comes together slowly, a little imperfectly, and usually not how you originally planned!

But the extra time usually ends up being the thing that makes it better (even if we don’t appreciate it in the moment).

This is one of those things I feel very strongly about.
Scale is one of the fastest ways to elevate a room... and one of the easiest to get wrong. I see it all the time: a space has beautiful pieces, but something still feels off. More often than not, it’s because everything is too small.

Our coffee table is a good example. It’s intentionally larger because it helps the whole seating area read as one zone. It visually connects the sofa and chairs, gives everyone an actual surface within reach, and creates one strong focal point in the middle of the room.

If it were smaller, we’d need extra little tables to make the layout function, and all of those pieces would start competing with each other.

One larger piece often creates more calm than several smaller ones.

Save this for your next room refresh, and share it with someone who’s trying to figure out why their space feels off.

Okay y’all! This post is feeling long overdue... I can’t believe we have never put together conceptual designs for Tennessee! I envisioned these spaces to have that classic southern heritage feel to it. It has me excited to take on our next renovation project. There are just so many different concepts I want to try out.

If you’ve been following for a few years you know that our signature style really started out in Bend where it’s all about a cozy mountain with a country “twang” look. That still is very much a speciality of ours but I’m a firm believer in designing for where you live and pulling inspiration from the surrounding environment.

This style feels very true to the rolling and lush hills of Nashville, but also pulling from the old wild west aesthetic of Central Oregon... its our take on a southern heritage home. I hope you like it as much as we do.

Take a look around and comment ‘TOUR’ if you want the list of things that really complete these spaces!
