Our client found the shower wall tile first. Everything else was built around it.⁠

That’s not how most bathroom remodels work. Most people pick a budget, call a contractor, and figure out the details along the way.⁠

This homeowner knew what mattered most to her. So we started there - with the one piece she loved - and designed the entire space outward from that decision.⁠
The result is a beautiful master bathroom that feels intentional. Because it was.⁠

That’s what great remodel planning actually looks like. Not a list of finishes. A clear starting point and a strategy that connects every decision after it.⁠

I’m currently creating helpful planning resources for homeowners preparing for a kitchen or bathroom remodel, and I’m gathering a little feedback from people who are in the process of planning or thinking about a remodel. Your feedback will help me better understand what feels confusing, overwhelming, or hard to move forward with — and what kind of guidance, tools, or support would actually be most helpful.

From floor plan to real-life walkthrough ✨

There is something incredibly special about walking through a floor plan I designed many months ago and seeing it become real. The space is still unfinished, but the vision is already there. You can feel the flow, the purpose, and how the home will soon be lived in. Seeing the homeowners happy and excited as it all starts to come together is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.

Happy International Women’s Day 💕

Today I’m celebrating the strength, creativity, and grace of women everywhere.

As a designer, I’m inspired by the way women so often shape the feeling of home — with vision, care, and intention.

And as a mother, I’m especially grateful for the joy of watching the next generation grow into their own strength, beauty, and light.

Here’s to women who create, lead, nurture, and inspire — in business, in life, and in the homes they shape. Today and every day.

Here’s the first look at our new guest bathroom concept designed for a young family. This space pairs soft neutrals, warm brushed gold, and timeless finishes to create a look that feels bright, fresh, and welcoming.

A beautiful first step toward a bathroom that feels elevated and inviting for everyday life.

A master bath remodel with a fun twist: he had a vision for the bathroom, she for the kitchen. His goal was a space that felt tailored to his style - a bit more masculine, architectural, and calm - with bold contrast, clean lines, and a shower that feels like a private spa. And that statement tile? The perfect dose of personality without losing the serenity.

I love when couples split the “design seats” like this; everyone gets to create a space that truly feels like theirs.

A walk-in shower that feels like a boutique hotel… but works for real life. 🚿✨

This dream shower is all about space + function:
• The statement herringbone tile wall adds instant style
• A generous niche keeps everything tidy and off the floor
• And, my favorite practical upgrade: the wall sliding bar, so you can adjust the showerhead height in seconds. Perfect for couples, kids, guests, and easy cleaning. 🙌

If you could add one bathroom upgrade to your shower, what would it be? Comment below 👇

Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️🍷 The best gift you can give her isn’t just flowers or chocolate—it’s a kitchen that changes everyday life.

A place to cook together, gather with friends, help with homework, and make the “ordinary” feel a little more special.

If your kitchen feels dated, cramped, or just doesn’t work for the way you live, let’s design one that does, beautiful and highly functional, built around your lifestyle.

Follow along for smart kitchen planning + design, where function meets beauty, with an European twist.
