Ready to be BOLD? ⚡️

Transform your home into a dynamic space with these chic and simple decor tips:

◾️Accentuate with Patterns: Combine solid bright colors with intriguing patterns. This black couch adorned with red zebra-striped pillows creates an eye-catching contrast that's both stylish and fun.

◾️Complementary Colors: A pop of red can truly shine when paired with complementary colors in the room. Notice how the red tables and pillows draw your eye, energizing the space without overpowering it?

◾️Dynamic Duo: Pair a vibrant color with another accent color in smaller doses, such as the subtle hues in your artwork or decor pieces, to add depth and keep the room feeling fresh and modern.

Need some guidance to create a space that reflects your bold side? Let's chat!

I had so much fun with this glow-up, transforming this powder room into a bathroom with a shower!

My client needed a second shower in her condo for her husband. I worked with some of go-to contractors to rearrange the toilet and sink and convert a small closet into a shower. From there, we worked together to choose a color scheme, vanity, and fixtures, taking this drab half bath to a luxury bathroom fit for a king!

A client requested a virtual consultation last week because she needed some help with styling a credenza that she recently acquired.

There are so many ways that you can style a credenza. It's so versatile, allowing you to be practical, decorative, or both—it's up to your style! Here are some for decorating:

➡️Add lamps that complement the credenza
➡️Place plants or flowers to bring nature indoors and add some color to a room
➡️Use it for festive seasonal decorating, such as including a winter tableau or fall garlands and pumpkins
➡️Don't forget the space above the credenza! Hang a decorative mirror (as in the photo), artwork, or even a tapestry that completes your theme

Do you have a favorite fall décor item that you can wait to display every year?

Perhaps it's a gorgeous glass pumpkin or a cheerful wreath for your front door.

I have had several people ask me recently, "When should I start decorating for fall?" 🍂

Yes, pumpkin-flavored hot beverages are now available and stores have their fall and Halloween decorations out, but is it too soon?

If you enjoy decorating for fall and it brings you joy, there's no strict rule about when it's "too early!" Get out those pumpkins, leaves, hay bales, and seasonal colors in oranges, reds, and yellows, and enjoy your happy space!

Need some tips and strategies for incorporating your fall decor in your home? Contact me! I would love to help you!
