I thought the hardest part of showing up online would be figuring out what to say.

Turns out, it’s letting myself be seen.

For years, I’ve been comfortable presenting ideas, leading conversations, making design decisions, and standing behind my work.

But standing in front of the camera as myself?

That’s a different kind of vulnerability.

I’m learning that confidence doesn’t always arrive first.

Sometimes you post before you feel ready.
Sometimes you speak before you feel polished.
Sometimes you let people see you while you’re still figuring it out.

And maybe that’s the point.

I don’t want to wait until I feel completely fearless to share this with you.

So I’m practicing being visible, one post at a time.

What’s something you know you want to do, but you’re still waiting to feel “ready” for?

Pensé que lo más difícil de mostrarme en redes iba a ser saber qué decir.

Resulta que lo más difícil es dejarme ver.

Durante años me he sentido cómoda presentando ideas, liderando conversaciones, tomando decisiones de diseño y dejando que mi trabajo hable por mí.

Pero ponerme frente a una cámara siendo simplemente yo…

Eso se siente diferente.

Estoy aprendiendo que la confianza no siempre llega primero.

A veces publicas antes de sentirte lista.
A veces hablas antes de sentirte perfecta.
A veces dejas que los demás te vean mientras todavía estás descubriendo el camino.

Y quizá de eso se trata.

No quiero esperar a sentirme completamente segura para compartir esto con ustedes.

AsĂ­ que estoy practicando algo nuevo: dejarme ver, una publicaciĂłn a la vez.

¿Qué es eso que sabes que quieres hacer, pero sigues esperando a sentirte “lista” para empezar?

After 20+ years of designing homes, I’ve realized some of the best design lessons have nothing to do with furniture.

They’re about life.

I’ve learned to measure before I commit.

To remember that something can be beautiful and still be completely wrong for me.

To leave some empty space instead of feeling like every corner — or every minute — needs to be filled.

To stop expecting everything to match perfectly.

And maybe the biggest one of all…

To let things evolve.

Homes change because life changes.

Kids grow up.

Families shift.

Priorities change.

We change.

And lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how much easier it is to accept that in a home than it is in ourselves.

We renovate.
We rearrange.
We make room for what comes next.

Maybe we should give ourselves permission to do the same.

At 51, I’m learning that reinvention sometimes it simply means you’ve outgrown the old layout. ❤️

Which of these five lessons feels most true for the season of life you’re in right now?

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.

Tell me in the comments!

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?
