What an upgrade. 😍😍

This family contacted me ready to upgrade this former playroom/art room/multipurpose room to something a little more sophisticated to meet the current needs of their family. We created several different layouts to determine the best use for them, landed on a gorgeous color palette that worked with the rest of the home but felt fresh, then went through the process of new paint, new hardwood floors, and all new furniture and accessories. Perfect for relaxing and entertaining - reading a cozy book or laughing over coffee with friends.

Which room in your home do you wish had completely new vibe?

Proof that a little extra square footage can change everything 🫶

We took a cramped, dark kitchen and turned it into this warm, functional space with the perfect white oak cabinetry, quartz everywhere (omg the windowsill), and a pantry + coffee bar that’s just so good.

Swipe for the before—it’s a good one.

Textures from my latest install 🫶😍

My client wanted a beachy vibe that still felt appropriate for central PA - so we worked wit a palette of pale blues and creams but layered lots of texture, fabrics, and warm wood tones. It feels fresh, welcoming, and comfortable (and a little sunny for these gray central PA days). Which is your favorite?

Oh this basement bar 😍 How about that tile! We knew we wanted something that would be a WOW next to the stunning cherry wood - bars are a perfect place to play with a fun shape/pattern/texture and this 3D concrete tile DELIVERS! Perfect backdrop for our Penn State Blue and White decor.

Check out some renders from a lovely bathroom project I’m currently working on. I always try to get my client physical samples of the materials I’m sourcing, but renders help me show my clients how those materials will be used in the project to help them visualize the final outcome. This sweet bathroom is getting a major shower upgrade - and we’ll be using lots of tile to give it a modern wow factor.

This State College kitchen got a beautiful refresh — without changing the layout.

The original oak cabinets were showing their age and it was time for an update. My client loved the idea of bringing in some vintage charm (and a soft green she couldn’t stop thinking about). We went with Clary Sage for the cabinetry, added glass doors up top to keep things light, and took the cabinets all the way to the ceiling for extra height and storage.

We selected a cherry wood island and coffee bar to add warmth to the space (and break up the green. The handmade backsplash—with a slightly wider gray grout—brings that timeless, vintage feel she wanted. Brass hardware, schoolhouse lighting, and smart cabinet inserts finished it all off beautifully.

A fresh take on function and charm—this one feels right at home.

New on the blog! 🎉
Last week, we shared a reel of this stunning bathroom transformation—now, we’re diving into all the details! This space went from an awkward walk-through to a dreamy, functional retreat. Bold blue herringbone tile, playful terrazzo flooring, and smart design choices made all the difference.

A Day in the Life: Designer, Business Owner, and mom of 3

My day starts early—coffee in hand ☕️, checking emails and project updates before the kids wake up. Then it’s breakfast, backpacks, and getting everyone out the door.

Once the house is quiet, I’m off to site visits and client meetings, making design magic happen. Then it’s back home for office work—sourcing, drawings, and space planning.

Afternoons are all about snacks, homework, and after-school chaos—sports, activities, dinner, and family time. 💛

When the house is finally quiet again, I wind down with a good book and some much-needed relaxation. 📖
