Home isn’t just where life happens.

It’s where the ordinary moments happen, too.

Morning loads of laundry.
Folding towels.
Cleaning up after a busy week.

Those moments deserve beauty just as much as the big ones.

I have a confession…

I spend an embarrassing amount of time scrolling Zillow in Portland.

Not because I’m planning a move tomorrow, but because I like imagining where the new version of me would live if I ever found my way back.

Years ago, when I lived there, I’d log miles wandering through the West Hills. I’d slow down in front of certain houses, wondering what they looked like inside and imagining the lives of the people who lived there.

Apparently, I haven’t outgrown that habit.

This house stopped me in my tracks.

Designed by internationally acclaimed architect Robert Oshatz, it’s still under construction and unlike anything else I’ve seen. It’s bold, brilliant,sculptural, and completely unconcerned with fitting in.

It’s the kind of home that asks you to have an opinion. Some people will think it’s a work of art. Others will wonder what on earth they were thinking.

I love that.

Good design doesn’t always have to be comfortable or universally loved. Sometimes it’s simply an expression of someone’s imagination, built without asking for permission.

Maybe that’s why it caught my attention.

I think the older I get, the more I’m drawn to people and places that are willing to be unique & unapologetically themselves.

And maybe the houses that stop us have less to do with where we want to live and more to do with who we’re becoming.

Every once in a while I walk by a house that makes me smile.

Not because it’s the biggest house on the block.

Because someone had the confidence to give it a little personality.

This charcoal house with the turquoise door always catches my eye. And the little blue bungalow reminds me of an island home in Maine.

I think the homes we remember are rarely the ones that play it safe.

They’re sometimes the ones that are small & bold with a story to tell.

As a designer, those are the houses that inspire me the most..

And yes….the last photo is my studio 💚

What type of homes inspire you?

How’d we get here?

Funny enough, it started with one person letting the other have complete creative freedom.

My client said, “I just want it to feel zen.”

That one sentence became the entire design brief.

We skipped the expected spa whites and soft grays and instead leaned into nature with a lotus wallpaper, a live-edge walnut vanity, stone, bronze, and layers of texture.

Zen isn’t always light and airy…at least not in my world!

Sometimes it’s dark, grounded, quiet, and a room you never want to leave. Even if it’s the bathroom 😂 .

When I lived in Portland, Oregon, I’d spend hours wandering through the West Hills, imagining what the homes looked like inside. I’d invent stories about the people who lived there and secretly wonder if someday I’d have a house like one of them.

These days I live in a modest bungalow in Colorado Springs, in one of the city’s most architecturally interesting neighborhoods.

Almost every evening I end up taking the same walk. Not because I have to, but because I never get tired of looking at all the old homes, and wondering what’s inside.

Within just a few blocks of my house you’ll find my favorite Tudor, a Spanish Revival, a Mediterranean, a Mid-century Modern that I’ve renamed “the ship”. Each home with its own personality and history. This is why I love old homes so much. They are filled with history, stories, character and quirks.

Which one would you choose?

I walk by this house all the time, and every single time it makes me stop and look.

Partly because I’m still not sure whether I love it.

The original house is traditional, familiar, and rooted in the neighborhood. Then attached to it is this unapologetically modern glass addition that feels like it belongs to an entirely different story.

And maybe that’s exactly why I find it so interesting.

In a neighborhood where most homes play by the rules, someone decided not to.

They didn’t choose what would blend in. They didn’t choose what everyone would agree on. They chose what they wanted.

The result is a house that probably sparks strong opinions from everyone who sees it.

Including me.

But the longer I work in design, the more I appreciate spaces that feel personal over spaces that feel perfect.

A house doesn’t have to please everyone to be successful for the people who live in it.

Sometimes it just has to tell the truth about the people who live there. And I often find myself wondering what the story is behind it.

What do you think?

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about the connection between our homes and how we feel.

Over the years, I’ve noticed that when people tell me a room feels chaotic, stressful, or just “off,” the problem isn’t always what they think it is.

Sometimes it isn’t a lack of space or storage. Sometimes a home simply isn’t supporting the way they actually live.

That’s one of the reasons I love design. It’s not just about making a space look beautiful. It’s about creating a home that feels comfortable, functional, and aligned with the people who live there.

I’m excited to be sharing more projects, ideas, and design insights here in the coming months. And I hope you’ll join me!
