Our hearts are broken to see another terrible conflict in the Middle East.
Wishing for peace and safety, and sending love and comfort to all those who are suffering. 🤍

Out of the office, and into the world! I’m so excited about this particular trip!
🤩
There are 8 of us that will be doing El Camino de Santiago (pilgrimage trails that go from France to Spain and Portugal that date back to the 9th century) from Porto, Portugal to Santiago de Compostela in Spain.
🚲🚲
We’ll be riding bikes, taking a week to do it, about 30-40 miles a day. We are using the services of a wonderful local company, Portugal Nature Trails, that will pick our baggage every morning and drop it off in the next village.
🚐
This has been a dream of mine for many, many years! Bill and I have been training for the last 3 months so we won’t want to get an Uber after the first day
🤣
BUT before all of the biking excitement, I will be spending the first 2 days of my trip in Portugal. I’ll be working closely with a small furniture factory, creating custom designs for my clients back in the U.S.!!
🥰
Follow along in my stories to see where each day will take me!

Let's talk about light
✨
Natural light plays a crucial role in home design, as it has the power to entirely change how a home feels, and how YOU feel in each space.
💖
It also is a starting point for most design decisions.
🏡
Here are 4 things to consider when designing around natural light:

Window Size: Installing larger windows or floor-to-ceiling windows allows ample natural light to enter the space. This visually opens up the room, creates a sense of spaciousness, and provides unobstructed views of the outdoors. - Yay!!

Window Function: Bay windows protrude outward from the building, creating a small alcove inside. They enhance the aesthetic appeal of a room and provide a wider view. These windows make for excellent reading areas, dining benches, and plant ledges.
🌿
Window Privacy: Choosing sheer or light-colored window treatments, such as curtains or blinds, allows natural light to filter through while maintaining privacy when needed. We will help you find the perfect style of window treatments for your space.

Window Orientation: South-facing windows receive the most sunlight throughout the day, while north-facing windows provide more consistent, indirect light. Light-filtering window treatments become especially important for south-facing windows.

Design Tip Tuesday:⁠
🌸⁠
Save money at the florist, and forage your own flowers and greenery from your yard!⁠
💐⁠
These are quick fire hydrangeas, and bloom like crazy during the late summer. They typically bloom a creamy white color in July, and then gradually turn a pinkish red in August and September.⁠
🌸⁠
To keep them looking gorgeous after being cut, we:⁠
⁠
-Trim in the morning.⁠
-Cut stems at an angle, using clean and sharp pruning shears. ⁠
-Use a mister to spray them with water each day⁠
-Make sure to refill your vases with water frequently. They soak it up, fast!⁠

DAY 10: THINK OF YOUR HAPPY PLACE:⁠
🥰⁠
Echoing what we tell our clients, when designing their indoor spaces, make sure to think of your happy place.⁠
🏖️🌴⁠
Outdoor entertaining is an excellent place to showcase things that remind you of your happy places. If you love vacationing near the ocean, incorporate coastal elements and colors. If you love hiking in the mountains, incorporate more rustic elements and earthy colors. ⁠
🏔️⁠
This is such a playful way to share your favorite places and experiences with your friends and family.⁠
🌲⁠
Get creative with it! Keep your spaces personal and compelling by incorporating a variety of textures, fabric prints in your outdoor decor, such as woven furniture, soft linens, metal accents, candles and natural stone elements.

DAY 8: BRINGING THE INDOOR PLANTS, OUT:⁠
☘️⁠
In the midwest, we have a lot of plants that “hibernate” indoors during the window, and then love to join us outdoors during the warmer months, when there is extended sunlight hours.⁠
☀️⁠
The process of moving indoor plants outside is called “hardening off.” This is typically safest when nighttime temperatures consistently stay above 42 degrees Fahrenheit.⁠
🌡️⁠
Some of our favorite indoor plants that thrive outdoors are: spider plants, ponytail palms, banana leaf plants, aloe vera varieties, and jade plants. If you’re feeling bold, fiddle fig trees can also grow like crazy outdoors. ⁠
💗⁠
Be mindful of placement, as some plants can get sunburned, and may need to be in shady areas or under covered shelters. Don’t forget to increase your watering schedule, because outdoor plants will dry out more quickly.

DAY 9: BRING YOUR INDOOR TEXTILES & SERVEWARE, OUT.⁠
🍽️⁠
Next time you have an outdoor function, consider using your indoor dining textiles and serveware.⁠
⁠
This is the easiest way to elevate any function, and make it feel even more special. It is also much more environmentally friendly than using disposable plates, cups, napkins, and plastic table cloths.⁠
♻️⁠
Nobody likes plastic tablecloths. Period. Don’t be afraid to bring out your favorite fabric tablecloths, table runners, cotton throws and cloth napkins.⁠
💫⁠
We have a love affair with cloth napkins, it’s a small luxury for you and your guests, just make sure to buy cotton or a cotton/linen blend to minimize any need to iron them after washing (the trick is to fold them while still warm from the dryer)
