We’ve kicked off this festive holiday season in our house! Well, I actually started decorating when school started. But recently the temps dropped enough for me to go full steam ahead! There are sprinkles of Fall everywhere you turn in our house. Festive is my middle name! Actually, it’s Jane, but you get the idea. Anyway, we are fully decorated and ready to celebrate every single moment of the season, no matter how big or small! 🎃🍁linking to all in my 📱 in my instagram bio ☝️

I just finished the riskiest whole house reno of all time. Not risky as in knocking down walls or building scaffolding on site. Risky as in, they’re my direct neighbors!!! There’s no hiding. No parting ways when we’re done. If they were unhappy, I’d be reminded every time I mowed the lawn. Luckily I don’t mow the lawn! I digress….

Well, I’m happy to report they are ecstatic with the finished product!!! And so am I. Custom shelving for ALL of their books, endless storage, updated bathrooms, a happy secret closet for their daughter who’s going to write a book (remember us little people!), and personal touches that were hand-picked for everyone in the family! I’m so glad I got to be part of this project! And I’m glad we’re neighbors so I can hear all the fun ways they’re using their new space!

Probably the MOST fun room of my client’s whole home reno, was their daughter’s bathroom. She gave me some direction, and I ran with it. She wanted purple and she wanted it to feel enchanted. 🤩 I built everything around this wallpaper from Inktopia Studio and sourced the other things from various companies. I absolutely ADORE this room and this girl! So fun. I linked to all in my 📱 in instagram bio 🛍️ mirror is no longer available, but I linked to a similar option.

Cafe Curtains…. What a great idea ✨ while our kitchen isn’t fully finished (think wallpaper/granny-chic breakfast nook) we just hosted our wedding and wanted to dress it up just a touch! We installed these custom curtains from THREE GIRLS and what a difference!! I got several texts from friends and family commenting on them! You don’t realize just how much curtains are like the cherry on top of an ice cream sundae 🍦

This is your reminder to reconnect with those you love. The world can wait! Mike Benko and I just spent the most magical week at Isla Bella Beach Resort in the keys. We did all the things that we DON’T do on a daily basis. We lounged, sunbathed, explored, slept in, and lounged some more. I even NAPPED! Who am I?!

We truly soaked up every second because we know the moment our feet leave the white sandy beach, reality hits. But our reality ain’t so bad ❤️

My hours are more like 6 to 10. But when you love what you do, work feels like play! And luckily I don’t feel the way Dolly describes about my job at all. I feel very lucky that I get to do what I do! I wake up every morning, so excited to go to work. But Dolly…. what a lady!

I digress. I just finished up this fireplace facelift. I worked for these clients many moons ago, renovating their kitchen, and they called me for Round 2. They wanted a linear electric fireplace from Dimplex North America with a stone façade. More of a modern take on a fireplace, and it came out absolutely beautiful! Complete living room transformation🔥

I’ve been a busy little bee this month! 🐝 Six active projects on the books. I think that’s a record! I certainly feel the Lord‘s blessing on my life. Every client is a dream. I’ve had so much fun connecting with them and bringing their visions to life: a whole house, nursery, kitchen, primary bath, living room, bathroom. Can’t wait to post some before and afters!

I’ll be wrapping these up within a week and then it’s WEDDING PREP TIME!!! I am fully planning to hijack my own Instagram for all the wedding content 👰‍♀️. A backyard garden wedding that will feel like Sunday Dinner on steroids! I’ll bring you along every step of the way! Stay tuned!

Window treatments have never really been my top priority. I’ve always played it safe with white because apparently I have commitment issues 😂 But with our new bedroom, I really wanted to put more intention into the details.

I chose the Sara Le Print Linen Curtains in Porcelain by to bring in a little softness, femininity, and texture against our moody walls… and paired with the oak tones and natural wood furniture, I’m completely obsessed with the warmth it adds. 🤍
