Happy New Year friends! I just want to say a big thank you to everyone who has been following along on our journey. The support and words of affirmation have helped us come a long way, and I greatly look forward to this upcoming year. We’re thinking of fresh ways we can improve as a business and fine tune our processes and services to make our client experience invaluable for you all. Whether you are taking on new projects or are simply here for the inspo and tips, we love helping any way we can.
This month is all about embracing intention—living with purpose, surrounding ourselves with pieces that feel meaningful, and creating spaces that truly reflect who we are. As I step into the new year, I’ve been thinking about how much power there is in slowing down, in choosing quality over quantity, and in curating a life that feels deeply aligned with what matters most. It’s not about perfection or chasing trends. It’s about leaning into the beauty of the everyday, finding joy in the small things, and making choices that support the life we want to build. I hope this month’s edit inspires you to do the same: to refresh your home, your style, and your mindset in ways that feel intentional, personal, and entirely you.
Color of the Month: Farrow & Ball ‘Light Blue’
There’s something about Farrow & Ball’s ‘Light Blue’ that feels soothing and fresh at the same time. I’ve recommended it to a few clients recently, and every time we use it, it completely transforms the space. We’re incorporating it into a kitchen right now, and I have to say, it’s such a beautiful choice! It adds life and personality to the room without being overpowering. It’s one of those shades that feels like a winter blue, serene and calming. But, it’s also incredibly versatile and timeless, making it perfect for every season. I love how authentic it feels, especially in this client’s home. It brings a sense of charm and lightness that aligns so effortlessly with their personal style.
If you’re looking for a way to refresh your space in the new year, consider playing with a color like this. It’s not a bold statement, but it’s enough to spice things up and give a room a whole new energy. Whether it’s on cabinetry, walls, or even just a piece of furniture, ‘Light Blue’ feels like a breath of fresh air—classic, but never boring.
Wallpaper Feature
I’ve always been drawn to wallpaper that feels like art, and ‘Les Cimes Bespoke’ or ‘The Bespoke Peaks’ from Isidore Leroy is no exception. There’s just something magical about its soft mountain setting—it’s as if you’re bringing a piece of the outdoors inside. This design feels especially fitting for a cozy winter home. But, it’s versatile enough to work year-round, adding depth and texture to any room. I’m picturing it in a dining room or even a small powder bath, paired with antique brass fixtures and warm wood tones.
For the Home: Fresh, Timeless Touches
Plaid Pillow: A Soft Step Into Spring
With its deep, saturated navy hue and hand-stitched motifs, this pillow is the perfect way to refresh your space as we transition from winter into spring. The subtle fringe detailing adds just enough texture to keep things interesting without feeling too heavy. I always say a new season doesn’t require a complete overhaul—start small. Swapping out pillows is the easiest way to breathe new life into your living room or bedroom. This one feels fresh, cozy, and perfectly curated for the months ahead.
Vintage Brass Cabinet Handle: Functional Luxury
Investing in high-quality hardware is one of the simplest ways to elevate your home this year. These vintage brass cabinet handles bring timeless functionality and a touch of warmth to any space. Whether it’s your kitchen, a built-in bar, or a favorite piece of furniture, give them a try! Hardware like this can easily transform a vanity or cabinet with minimal effort, and give it a fresh look. It’s proof that even the smallest details make a big difference.
Light Beige Ceramic Vase: A Quiet Icon
This piece from Athena Calderone’s collection for Crate & Barrel was an instant favorite. It’s simple yet striking, a vase that stands on its own (it’s 14″ tall) but also plays beautifully with others. Whether styled on a console table or as the centerpiece for a dining table, it’s an item you’ll want to reach for again and again. I want everything from this collection, but this vase feels like the perfect starting point.
Alabaster Coasters: Jewelry for Your Coffee Table
I’ve had these coasters for a while now, and they still make me smile every time I see them. They would go with ANY coffee table “story.” There’s something luxurious about their weight and texture—it feels like you’re adding a little bit of jewelry to your home. Pair them with the champagne flute set (keep reading to see them) for an elevated moment that feels indulgent yet practical.
Stainless Steel Ice Bucket: Bold Barware
Why not give your bar a bold refresh for the new year? This stainless steel ice bucket makes a statement all on its own. I’m thinking a fully styled bar cart with this bucket as the centerpiece. Just add some vintage glassware and a few good bottles, and you’ve got a space that’s as functional as it is fabulous.
Silver Vintage Candlesticks: Shining Accents
Silver and chrome are making a comeback, and I’m all for it! These vintage candlesticks add a sleek yet timeless vibe to your décor. Picture them on a dining table, paired with crisp linens and soft candlelight, creating the kind of ambiance that feels both inviting and elegant. These are one of a kind — the type of pieces that people will want to know where you found them!
Lifestyle: Moments of Indulgence
Room Spray
This room spray feels like a small ritual in a bottle. The handcrafted ridged glass and traditional pump give it a vintage charm, while the scent transforms your space into something serene and indulgent. Anything with a hint of grapefruit is my fave … and I love the idea of filling our home with this scent during the cold winter months. Instant mood booster! This is a little moment of luxury you can enjoy every day—perfect for setting the tone in your home.
Champagne Flute Set: Cheers to the New Year
My inner hostess couldn’t resist these. There’s nothing like splurging on beautiful glassware to make even the simplest moments feel special. These flutes are elegant and timeless—a perfect addition to your bar cart or dinner table. Pair them with the alabaster coasters for a polished, coordinated look.
Rustic Floral Napkins
I’m obsessing over these napkins from Ulla Johnson. She’s a favorite fashion designer of mine, and I love that she’s doing more and more table accents! Did you know red is having a moment — and no, not just for the holidays? It’s a bold, classic color that is always in style. Can you imagine these for a Valentine’s tablescape?!? Yes please! These floral napkins bring a fresh, artisanal vibe to any table setting. Whether it’s a last-minute dinner or a casual brunch, having a table set and ready feels like the ultimate in thoughtful entertaining.
Fashion: Elevated Essentials
Cowhide Suede Ankle Boot
Okay, confession time, I bought these boots back in the fall for a photo shoot, but in the tall version. I loved them, but decided to exchange for the bootie style — I just think they are more versatile! They’re perfect for this in-between season—warm enough to finish out winter, but light and versatile enough to carry me straight into spring. I’ve been pairing them with oversized knits and denim lately, but I’m already dreaming of flowy dresses and trench coats come March. The rich suede and subtle heel make them feel polished without trying too hard—a little bit of effortlessness that goes with everything. Truly one of those pieces that I know I’ll keep coming back to year after year.
Red Chanel Bag: “Treat Yourself”
I’m calling it—red is the color of the season. This vintage Chanel bag is a little luxury that feels bold and timeless, perfect for travel or as a statement piece for everyday use. Makeup bags and toiletry cases are items you’ll have forever, so why not invest in one that feels as special as this?
Beauty & Wellness: A Fresh Start
Brightening Eye Masks: “Revitalize Your Routine”
This year, self-care is at the top of my list, and these eye masks are the perfect way to start. They’re a quick, easy refresh that leaves you feeling awake and revitalized—perfect for early mornings or winding down after a long day. This little ritual feels like a gift to yourself, one that sets the tone for a year of putting your well-being first.
To Be Magnetic Podcast
‘The Expanded Podcast’ created by To Be Magnetic is the go-to podcast for grounded manifestation. Tune in weekly for deep dives into our process, with powerful manifestation stories from Pathway members. There are also interviews with industry experts, and expanders who will help you “see to believe” what’s possible. I have been listening to this a lot recently, and I value how it has really shifted my mindset.
Looking ahead at the new year, I want to better myself and lean into becoming the best version of myself possible. Exercise consistently, read more, open my eyes to different perspectives, etc. I know everyone always says that and doesn’t stick with it, but that’s why I love podcasts like this. It truly motivates you, and gives inspiring new ways to stay focused and determined. Especially in this business — we need the constant clarity and validation of our work. The vision has to be there.

What a year it has been! As I sit here reflecting on everything we’ve experienced and accomplished, I’m reminded of how quickly time moves and how important it is to savor the journey. Now, as we turn the page to 2025, it’s time to start chasing those new goals—big and small. I’m excited for a fresh perspective on what’s ahead. My goal is to continue to create beautiful spaces that bring joy and meaning to the lives of those who live in them.
Life is short. Make it beautiful❤️
