For me, this transition feels even more refreshing than New Year’s Day. There’s something about that first warm breeze and the sight of flowers blooming that just fills me with this fresh burst of energy. Can you relate?

So, here’s to embracing the magic of March and all the beauty that comes with it. Are you ready to get outside and soak up the goodness of spring? Because we sure are!

 

Color of the Month: Farrow & Ball “Hay”

Picture a creamy, dusty yellow that exudes all the softness of early spring. We recently used this hue in our guest bath up at the Tumalo Ranch, and I’m loving it! What I like most about it is its subtle sophistication. It’s less intense than a bright pop of yellow, and has just the right amount of green undertones to give it a grounded, established feel. This color evokes a sense of peace, making any space feel muted and inviting. So, if you’re looking to infuse your home with a touch of springtime charm, consider incorporating “Hay” into your color palette.

Furniture Staples

We recently incorporated a round dining table into a client’s space, and let me tell you, it’s a game-changer. This white table is the epitome of versatility and is like a “welcome” into the room. Whether you’re using it in a cozy breakfast nook, a functional piece in your office, or even as a stylish game table, it fits seamlessly into any setting.

Vintage vibes meet rustic charm with this pendant. The iron frame paired with a natural linen shade is chef’s kiss in my book. This is the ultimate statement lighting for any home as its scale is ideal for those open and lofty rooms that need filling. 

I can’t leave out this stunning cane nightstand. With its traditional silhouette and handwoven rattan caning, this piece adds a touch of texture and contrast to any bedroom. Finished in a dark ebony wood, it stands out beautifully and brings a lived-in feel to your space.

And last, but certainly not least, let’s talk about this pleated sofa. Sleek, modern and oh-so-playful, this sofa is all about embracing the light vibes of the season. Imagine yourself sinking into its plush cushions with a good book or cup of morning coffee, basking in the warm glow of the sunlight streaming through your windows. Welcome to true relaxation.

Welcome to Must-Have Accent Décor!

If you’re like me and love collecting coffee table books, these acrylic stands are an absolute game-changer. What’s the point of having all those beautiful books  if they’re not on display for everyone to admire? Try leaving them open on the table for guests to flip through and enjoy.

Now, let’s talk about this genius rug hack. It comes in standard sizes, but here’s the kicker — you can buy additional squares to easily sew into the rug. Then, you can create a larger area rug or customize it to fit your space perfectly. It’s no wonder this rug has seemingly gone viral on my Pinterest feed — it’s a stunning accent piece that ties the whole room together. 

Next up, we have a wicker vase. Talk about extraordinary! These one-of-a-kind pieces bring warmth and texture to any room, and they’re the perfect way to showcase your favorite blooms.

And, who can resist antique silverware? A springtime essential for entertaining! There’s something so special about setting the table everyday and having it feel like the setting is straight from great grandma’s collection. It’s like stepping into a chic French restaurant and adding elegance to every meal.

Elevate your cakes and other sweet treats with a marble top cake stand featuring an adjustable brass base. Again, we used this for a project and it adds such a special touch to your countertops. It’s the perfect balance of vintage and modern functionality for your kitchen.

Soaking in every little moment from our Santa Monica trip last week 🌴 As a mom, spending one on one time with each child is always good for the soul. I made this a tradition with each of our kids after graduation and I can’t recommend sneaking away- whether that’s in your city for a staycation or jumping on a plane for a little weekend adventure. Quality time with my kids always fills me up and reminds me the “why” I do what I do in this crazy thing called life.
We talked about things we never talk about. We laughed. A lot. We had tough conversations about missing school life. He told me about his dreams... ones I didn’t realize. What he values in friendships. What he doesn’t need in his life. We reminisced about the family road trip to Yosemite in a RV that was falling apart as we travelled (ie. I had to lean out the passenger window to tell D when he could change lanes since we lost a side mirror amongst other mishaps 😂). We decided our new favorite summer cocktail was the Pina Calabra at @propersantamonica rooftop pool and pasta @giorgiobaldi_ristorante is the BEST summer meal.
I’m sharing a full recap on the blog: what we did, where we ate, and all the little details I want to remember forever. Part travel guide, part journal entry.
Comment ‘LA’ and we’ll send you the link to read the full post!
Step inside the Lake Oswego Bungalow Lookbook🤎
This project already had such good bones, an absolute gem of a cottage in one of the most charming Lake Oswego neighborhoods. We weren’t here to renovate; this one was all about bringing in warmth, comfort, and character through furniture, styling, and a few cosmetic touches like wallpaper and lighting updates.
If you ask me what is one way to update your home without a lot of renovating, it’s furniture and styling! 100%!! We furnished the entry, living room, family room, primary suite, office den, and a few guest spaces. It was truly a full home furnishings project, and I can’t wait to dive into the details of what we did in each of these rooms. This is just a little peek behind the curtain!
Some of our favorite projects are the ones where we get to come in and reimagine the layout and feel of a space through furniture and accents. A fresh start without the full remodel-just the right edits to make your home feel like you.
We’re currently accepting clients for Q4 (aka the perfect time to get going once the kids are back in school and you’re ready to reset for the new year). Message us if you’re thinking about starting a project-we’d love to bring your space to life.
Comment ‘STYLE’ and I’ll DM you the link to explore all five. You can also find them in our LTK shop under product collections anytime.
I created these Design Guides because I know firsthand that design help can feel out of reach. If I weren’t a designer, I’m not sure I could afford to hire one myself-and that’s exactly why this mattered so much to me.
I believe your home should feel beautiful, personal, and pulled together without needing a huge budget or endless time to figure it all out. These guides are here to be your roadmap. And although I can’t say it completely replaces a designer, it’s a great tool to help those who are designing on their own. These guides are complete with curated furniture picks, paint palettes, styling tips, and layouts designed to take the guesswork out of the process.
They’re not just moodboards-they’re permission to start. Direction when you’re stuck. And support when you want your space to reflect you.
If you’ve ever stood in your living room and said, “I just wish someone would tell me what works”... I made these for you.
And if you still feel like you’re stuck or unsure what’s next, that’s okay too. We offer 1-hour consults, Designer for a Day sessions, and more—so you never have to navigate it alone. Head to the link in bio to learn more about our services and see how we can support you further
