Some moments become memories before we even realize they’re happening. ❤️

Looking back at this night in Times Square, I don’t remember what time it was.

I don’t remember what we had for dinner.

I don’t remember what we talked about.

What I remember is how it felt.

The feeling of having my family beside me.

The gratitude of celebrating a milestone I never imagined when I left my career in actuarial science to become an interior designer 20 years ago.

The feeling that, for just a moment, life slowed down enough for me to notice it.

It’s funny...

We spend so much of our lives chasing the next goal, the next opportunity, the next achievement.

But when we look back, it’s rarely the achievement that fills our heart.

It’s the people who were standing beside us when it happened.

This trip reminded me that success isn’t just about reaching your dreams.

It’s about having people to share them with.

Lately, I’ve been trying to become more intentional about noticing those moments while I’m living them... not years later.

Because maybe that’s the real luxury in life.

Not more things.

Not more accomplishments.

Just more moments that make you quietly think,

“I wish I could freeze this forever.”

❤️ I’m curious...

“What’s one moment you’d press pause on?”

🚩 Signs Your Worst Enemy Decorated Your Home — Episode 3: Dining Rooms

The best dining rooms aren’t necessarily the most expensive.

They’re the ones where people want to linger.

Where conversations last longer than the meal.

Where birthdays are celebrated, homework gets finished, and friends stay for “just one more coffee.”

After more than 20 years of designing homes, I’ve learned that creating a beautiful dining room has very little to do with buying an expensive matching furniture set.

It’s about choosing the right table size for your space, creating a room with personality rather than perfectly matching pieces, and using lighting to set the mood.

Those three things can completely transform how your dining room looks—and more importantly, how it feels.

And if someone you know is shopping for a dining table, save this post or send it to them.

Make sure you check Episodes 1 & 2 about Rugs and Sofas!

👇 I’d love to know...

What do you like to talk about next? Art, window treatments, kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, accessories....... I would love to walk you through the mistakes I have seen and how to avoid them.

OPPORTUNITY
One word from Valerie Jerome’s speech at the opening ceremony of the Harry Jerome Community Centre that has been replaying in my mind ever since I heard it.

I couldn’t stop thinking about the story she shared.

Opportunity almost never announces itself.

It usually shows up disguised as discomfort.

I’ve realized that many of the biggest opportunities in my own life started exactly that way.

From moving to a new country, switching careers, opening my own business, working for the Property Brothers, designing big projects, leading the Decorators and Designers Association, not to mention raising two amazing kids... and now trying to be more comfortable speaking to a camera.... I am just very excited about what the future holds.

It’s so tempting to stay where we feel comfortable.

But comfort rarely changes our lives.

❤️ So here’s my question...

When was the last time saying “yes” to something uncomfortable completely changed your life?

I’d love to hear your story.

When I was little, I had a costume with the brightest red shoes.

I was obsessed with them.

I wanted to wear them everywhere.

To birthday parties.

To family dinners.

Even to school.

But my mom stopped me.

“Those are part of your costume!”

She wasn’t trying to stop me from expressing myself.

She was just being practical.

But it made me think...

How many little moments like that quietly shape us without us even realizing it?

How often do we learn that the things that make us stand out should be saved for “special occasions”?

Years later, I had the privilege of interviewing one of my design heroes, Karim Rashid. One of the things I admire most about him isn’t just his fearless use of colour or his iconic designs—it’s his belief that design should improve the way we experience everyday life. It should evoke emotion, stimulate our senses, and make us feel more alive.

That conversation stayed with me.

Now, when I walk my dog, I can’t help but notice that almost every car I pass is white, black, or grey.

And I often see the same hesitation inside people’s homes.

We’ve become so afraid of making the wrong choice that we often forget to make our choice.

Our homes should tell the story of the people that live there.

Whether that’s through colour, art, collected pieces, or meaningful objects, they aren’t afraid to express something.

Maybe colour it’s about giving ourselves permission to be seen again.

Maybe we’re not losing colour.

Maybe we’re losing the confidence to choose it.

Maybe growing up isn’t about leaving those little red costume shoes behind...

Maybe it’s about having the confidence to wear them again.

❤️ So here’s my question...

What are your “red shoes”?

What’s one thing you’ve always loved but have been too afraid to bring back into your life... or into your home?

Yes... that’s me.

Standing beside my grandma.

She was an artist, but looking back, I think her greatest masterpiece was the way she lived.

She wasn’t afraid of colour.

She wore it.

She celebrated it.

She even drove a bright orange car... the very same car I eventually learned to drive.

Growing up, I never questioned it.

Colour simply felt like a natural part of life.

Somewhere along the way, though, many of us started believing that beige was sophisticated, that playing it safe was timeless, and that colour belonged only in childhood.

I don’t believe that.

As an interior designer, I don’t think every home needs to be bold or filled with bright colours. Some of the most beautiful spaces I’ve designed are wonderfully neutral.

But every home deserves personality.

It should tell your story, not just follow the latest trend.

Looking at this photo reminds me that colour isn’t really about paint or fabric.

It’s about joy.

Maybe that’s why, after more than 20 years of designing homes, I’m still drawn to spaces that make people feel something.

❤️ Tell me...

What’s one colour that instantly brings back a childhood memory for you?

🚩 Signs Your Worst Enemy Decorated Your Home — Episode 2: Sofas

Your sofa isn’t just another piece of furniture.

It’s where movie nights happen.
Where friends gather.
Where naps accidentally turn into two hours.
Where life happens.

That’s why choosing the right one is about so much more than picking a fabric you like.

Today I’m sharing three of the biggest sofa mistakes I see after more than 20 years of decorating homes—and, more importantly, how to fix them.

The goal isn’t perfection.

It’s creating a home that works beautifully for the way you live.

👇 I’m curious...

Which mistake surprised you the most?

Or tell me—what’s the biggest sofa regret you’ve ever had?

And if someone you know is shopping for a new sofa, save this post or send it to them before they make an expensive mistake. 😉

Make sure to follow along as we are reviewing dining rooms next!

When I talk about longevity, I don’t think of anti-aging but about aging well and healthy.

I’m not chasing perfection.

I’m not trying to look 25 again.

I’m trying to build habits that help me stay healthy, strong, positive, and independent for as many years as possible.

The funny thing is...

None of these habits happened overnight.

Some were easy.

Some took a lot of repetition (yes, I’m looking at you, brushing my teeth with one eye closed and one foot in the air 😅).

But that’s the thing about habits.

One day they feel impossible.

The next, you can’t imagine your life without them.

I’d love to know...

👇 Which habit do you already do?

And if you have one that your future self will thank you for, share it below. I might just steal it. 😉
