If a 2027 renovation is even remotely on your radar, this is the part I want you to know now: your project probably needs to start sooner than you think.

Every fall, I hear some version of the same thing: “We’re thinking about renovating our kitchen next year.” And usually, “next year” means spring.

But a successful renovation doesn’t begin when demo starts. It begins months earlier with the right team, space planning, design decisions, permits, contractor scheduling, cabinetry, windows, and all the long-lead pieces that need to be in place before construction ever begins.

That’s exactly what my newest blog is about: Why your 2027 Seacoast NH renovation actually starts now.

I’m walking through the timeline I use with clients, why bringing your designer, builder, and architect together early matters, and how thoughtful planning can help avoid the kind of delays that leave you without a kitchen far longer than necessary.

If you’re in the New Hampshire Seacoast area and you’ve been thinking about a kitchen renovation, primary bathroom, or larger whole-home project, this is a good one to read before the holidays arrive.

Because “next year” feels far away...until you work backward from the day you want construction to begin.

Read the new blog at the link below, and if a 2027 renovation is on your wish list, now is the time to start the conversation.

If you’ve been putting off renovating your bathroom, consider this your sign that it’s time. ✨

Imagine sinking into a warm soaking tub on a chilly New England evening, or starting your morning in a beautifully designed shower that feels more like a retreat than part of your daily routine.

Bathrooms are often one of the last spaces homeowners renovate because they can simply close the door and forget about them. But the spaces you use every single day deserve just as much thought, beauty, and intention as the rest of your home.

For this gorgeous primary bathroom in Portsmouth, NH, I created a space designed to feel calm, luxurious, and restorative. A place to begin and end the day feeling refreshed.

Ready to transform your own bathroom into a space you love? Mandeville Canyon Interior Design helps homeowners throughout the New Hampshire Seacoast create thoughtful, timeless interiors designed for the way they live.

Fall decorating doesn’t have to mean orange, black, and a sea of rust. 🍂

I’m a sucker for color year-round, so when fall rolls around, I’d much rather work with a palette that feels seasonal and still feels like me.

Think moody blue pumpkins, fresh greens, warm wood tones, soft candlelight, and just a hit of sunny yellow. It still feels cozy and autumnal, just a little less expected.

The best seasonal decorating should work with your home, not take it over. You don’t need to abandon your favorite colors just because the calendar says October.

So if traditional fall colors aren’t your thing, consider this your permission slip to decorate the season your way. 💙💚💛

Make it a pantry. But make it special.

Because the rooms that work the hardest don’t have to be the ones you overlook.

Tucked just beyond the kitchen, this custom pantry was designed to feel like its own little moment: moody blue cabinetry, warm brass details, a playful patterned backdrop, and that glowing light fixture framed perfectly by the arched opening.

Functional? Of course.

But also beautiful enough to make you want to leave the door open.

This is what thoughtful kitchen design looks like to me. It’s not just choosing countertops and cabinet colors, it’s considering every space connected to the kitchen and asking: How can this work better? How can it feel more intentional? And where can we add a little delight?

A pantry can handle storage, prep, cleanup, and all the everyday necessities that keep the main kitchen feeling calm. But when it’s custom designed for the way you live, it can also become one of the most memorable spaces in your home.

If you’re renovating your kitchen, don’t stop at the kitchen. The best projects consider how every adjoining space can make your home more functional, more beautiful, and more uniquely yours.

The hood was never meant to "blend in".

In this custom Portsmouth kitchen, it became part of the architecture, and part of the art.

The sculptural shape, warm wood detail, and patterned tile create a focal point that gives the entire kitchen its personality. But the beauty of this space isn’t only in what catches your eye.

It’s also in what quietly makes the kitchen work.

The custom cabinetry was designed to do so much more than store. It creates rhythm and balance, makes use of every inch, keeps the room feeling calm and cohesive, and gives everyday necessities a thoughtful place to live.

That’s the difference between choosing beautiful finishes and designing a kitchen as a whole.

Every cabinet. Every proportion. Every material. Every sightline. Considered together so the finished space feels effortless, even though nothing about it was accidental.

If you’re planning a custom kitchen renovation in Portsmouth or along the New Hampshire Seacoast, this is where working with an interior designer from the beginning can change everything.

What if your bathroom renovation is really the beginning of reimagining your whole home?

A bathroom is often where the conversation starts. Maybe the layout no longer works. The finishes feel dated. Or you’re ready for a primary bath that feels less utilitarian and a lot more like a retreat.

But when I walk into a home, I’m never looking at just one room.

I’m thinking about how that bathroom connects to the primary suite. The lighting. The storage. The flow into the next space. And whether the choices we make today will support what you may want to do throughout your home tomorrow.

That’s why I believe the best renovations start with a thoughtful plan...and with your interior designer involved before demolition begins.

In my latest blog, I’m sharing why hiring an interior designer for your bathroom remodel can lead to a more beautiful, functional, cohesive home…and why sometimes the bathroom is only the beginning.

And if you’re considering a bathroom remodel, primary suite renovation, or a larger home renovation in Exeter, Portsmouth, Rye, or along the Seacoast of New Hampshire, I’d love to hear what you’re dreaming about.

Start with the bathroom. Design with the whole home in mind.

The kitchen is where everyone gathers, so I thought, "Why not give everyone a place to land?"

For this Portsmouth, NH home, I designed an oversized kitchen island to truly anchor the space. Its warm wood tone brings depth and softness to the crisp white cabinetry, while the brass details add another layer of warmth and character.

I love the balance here: bright and airy, but never stark. Refined, but still completely livable. Coastal but in a soft, subtle way.

And because this kitchen was designed as part of the home as a whole, every material, finish, and sightline was considered in relation to the spaces around it.

A kitchen made for gathering, lingering, and this next chapter by the sea.

The power of a powder room. ✨

If you read my recent blog, you already know I believe powder rooms are the perfect place to take a design risk and add a little personality.

For this Portsmouth, NH home, I chose a wallpaper that plays beautifully with the greens and blues just outside the window, creating a subtle connection to the coastal landscape beyond.

And can we have a moment for that sink? 💙

Why choose standard white when you can have a gorgeous blue scalloped sink that completely transforms the room? It’s playful, unexpected, and definitely a showstopper.

The light fixture deserves its own moment, too! Swipe to take a closer look and see it shine bright. ✨

Sometimes the smallest spaces are the ones that leave the biggest impression.

Welcome to my newest seaside project in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

These are longtime clients of mine, and I’m incredibly grateful that they trusted me once again...this time to design an entirely different home for their next phase of life.

Having worked together before, there’s a level of trust and understanding that makes the design process especially meaningful. I know how they live, what they’re drawn to, what they need from their home, and the details that make a space feel like *them*. That history allowed us to approach this whole-house project with a clear vision from the very beginning.

With the ocean just outside, I wanted the interiors to feel deeply connected to their surroundings. I infused the home with the colors, textures, and natural beauty of the coast. Soft, warm tones, organic materials, and thoughtful details that reflect the movement and serenity of the water without feeling overtly “coastal.”

The result is a home designed specifically for this chapter of their lives: refined, comfortable, personal, and completely connected from room to room.

I’m so excited to finally begin sharing this Portsmouth project with you! There are so many beautiful details to come. Be sure to like us and follow along!

Interior designer vs. decorator: 3 things people don't realize.

1️⃣ Designers work with the architecture. Decorators work around it.
Layout, flow, lighting plans, even where the walls go. We're often in the room before the drywall is.

2️⃣ Designers source and create. Decorators select.
That art in our recent post? It was commissioned specifically for that hallway. That's not decorating. That's designing a space from the ground up.

3️⃣ Designers manage the whole project. Decorators style the finished one.
Contractors, timelines, custom finishes, the thousand small decisions nobody sees. We handle it so you don't have to.

The result: a home that's entirely, unmistakably yours, not a template with your furniture in it.

Decorators bring incredible value when a home is ready for furnishings, color, art, and the finishing layers that make it feel personal.
