Don’t. be. afraid. of. your landlord.

One of my personal favorite things to do as a pattern and color loving person is WALLPAPER! Soooo many retailers now make peel & stick versions and it truly just adds that extra somethin’ somethin’ into your space. I personally have a Chasing Paper Wallpaper version in my hallway but have also been eyeing some from BACKDROP, Lulu and Georgia and SAMANTHA SANTANA studio

Remember, just because you don’t own your home doesn’t mean you shouldn’t love it!

Restoring the original wood details was one of the very first priorities in this historic Craftsman renovation. After completing the dining room built-ins, we knew we had to continue that warmth and character throughout the main living spaces by stripping the painted trim and bringing the wood back to life.

From there, we partnered with ottomillwork and Brad Burleigh to create a custom built-in bench and shelving unit inspired by traditional Craftsman millwork. This labor of love set the tone for the entire home and became the foundation for so many of the design decisions that followed 💛

I’m back again to bug you to upgrade your rental 😇

This time it’s your flooring. While I’m not saying you should rip out your carpet (although I would!!) I am saying you have more control of what’s under your feet.

If you’ve got a crusty ole bathroom or a kitchen with bad tile…One of the best things you can do is peel & stick tile. There are a plethora of options from places like Chasing Paper Wallpaper, etsy and even Lowe's Home Improvement.

Don’t bother looping your landlord in and thank me later 💋

Sometimes the original charm is hiding underneath decades of updates 👀

When my clients purchased this historic Craftsman, many of the home’s original wood details had been painted over, and previous renovations had stripped away much of its character. Our goal from day one was to uncover what was already there and thoughtfully restore the spirit of the home.

We brought back warm wood tones, embraced richer color choices, and added built-ins inspired by the Craftsman philosophy of form meeting function. The result feels less like a renovation and more like a return to what the house was always meant to be 💛

Finally sharing one of my favorite projects to date: my Campbell Craftsman!

This historic home had much of its original charm stripped away over the years, but thanks to my wonderful clients, we were able to bring so much of its character back to life.

Lots of fun before and afters coming soon, but for now, here are a few of my favorite moments from around the house💛

Special thanks to my amazing crew who brought this one to life:

One year ago, I posted a video that unexpectedly took off. (Truth be told, I didn’t even really want to post it… but I did anyway😅)

Sure, some cool opportunities came from it, but the biggest thing I gained was proof that most of the things we talk ourselves out of doing aren’t nearly as scary as we make them out to be!!

I think a lot of people put content creation on a pedestal, but at the end of the day, it’s just sharing your perspective. That’s it.

You don’t need to know exactly where it’s going to lead. You just have to start!

So if you’ve been thinking about posting, launching the thing, sharing your work, or putting yourself out there in some way, consider this your sign.

Done is better than perfect.

Because honestly, what’s the worst that happens? Three people like it and your mom leaves a comment? We can survive that😜

Renters: another thing to add to your arsenal - hardware upgrades!

Landlords always seem to have questionable taste when it comes to kitchens and bathrooms, and one of the easiest ways to elevate those spaces is by swapping out the hardware. There are so many great options on , vintage finds on , and even is known for a good k**b.

Add this to your renter upgrade checklist:

✔️ Light fixture swaps
✔️ Painting the walls (and ceilings!)
✔️ Upgrading your hardware

What renter-friendly design challenges do you need solutions for next?
