We see it all the time—people spend so much money on furniture and decor, only to step back and realize… nothing actually works together. The problem? No clear plan. No defined style. Just a mix of pieces that looked nice individually but don’t create a cohesive home.
And this can get expensive—fast. Swapping out trendy items, replacing things that don’t fit, redoing entire rooms because they don’t feel right. The truth is, even the best pieces won’t shine if they aren’t working in harmony.
So, how do you avoid the cycle of design mistakes and wasted money? It starts with a vision—understanding your style, knowing what you need, and putting together a plan before you buy. This is exactly what we help with, and we’ve got something coming soon that’ll take the guesswork out of the process.

We snuck away to Neskowin last week for a cozy weekend with family, and it was exactly what we needed.
In case you missed it, we shared all our favorite spots + what we did in our Neskowin beach town guide on the blog! comment ‘Beach’ and we’ll send you the post!
What is my style? What do I actually like?
If you don’t know your style, you’re not alone.
This is the #1 thing I hear from clients-and it’s usually what keeps people stuck, buying things they don’t love, or feeling totally overwhelmed when it’s time to decorate.
Instead of jumping straight into shopping, slow down and observe what you’re naturally drawn to.
Start by pinning-without overthinking. Save anything that speaks to you: colors, materials, whole rooms, even fashion or travel images.
Then zoom out. What shows up again and again? A color palette? Reclaimed Wood? Soft shapes? Clean lines? Layered neutrals?
That’s your style talking.
Want to know what comes next?
Here’s how to go from inspiration to actual intention:
1. Measure your space - Don’t eyeball it. Measure your walls, furniture, walkways— everything. This prevents major design regrets.
2. Create a flexible floor plan - Play with furniture layouts to get a feel for what fits and flows.
3. Build your shopping list - Only once you’ve done the above should you start sourcing. You’ll feel way more confident in what to look for, and way less likely to impulse buy.

I might be a little biased with this one—it hits close to home in more ways than one. This style reflects a way of living that’s grounded and intentional… rooted in nature, but designed for everyday ease. It’s where modern functionality meets the kind of rustic character that only gets better with time.
Share with a friend who’s style fits this vibe!
She is the style blueprint. Timeless, vintage, layered, romantic, soulful and just a little bit moody.
