Once again, IDS Portland is bringing all the fun, education, and inspiration. ✨

Our March chapter meeting at Blackfish Gallery was one of those experiences that reminds me exactly why this community matters so much.

We spent the morning surrounded by incredible artwork, meeting the artists behind it, and learning how designers can confidently bring original art into our projects. From navigating relationships with galleries to understanding how to curate pieces for a space, we talked through the real questions to ask clients, how to spark their interest in collecting, and ways designers can help support working artists.

Founded in the 1970s, Blackfish is one of Portland’s oldest cooperative galleries, and stepping into that history—while being surrounded by such thoughtful, contemporary work—was incredibly inspiring. The cooperative model means the artists themselves are the heartbeat of the gallery, which made the conversation about art and design feel even more meaningful.

Experiences like this are exactly why I’m so grateful for the community that the Interior Design Society brings into my life. Getting to learn, connect, and be inspired alongside other designers while supporting local artists? That’s the good stuff.

If you’ve ever wondered how designers weave original art into their projects, this was such a powerful reminder: art isn’t the finishing touch — it’s part of the story.

This started as a story… and then people had a LOT of feelings about it, so here we are.

I stopped by a client’s house yesterday to check on wallpaper installation and it is so good. Like… I just stood there smiling.

We used two colorways of one of my favorite papers — a lighter gold + blush in the stairwell and a deeper teal + gold in the vestibule off the living room. You can see both spaces at once, and it works because they’re related but not matchy. Same paper, different vibe.

The stairwell gets a ton of natural light, so it feels bright and warm and happy. The vestibule is cozier and moodier and kind of wraps around you when you walk through.

In the primary suite we put a cloud mural on the ceiling (yes, the ceiling) and it totally changes the room. It moves, but it’s also super calm. Very much a “take a deep breath” space.

And then the water closet — same cloud paper, but with kites. Which feels playful and unexpected and honestly just makes me smile every time I see it.

This is why I love wallpaper. It’s not always aboit being loud and making a statement - sometimes it’s making subtle changes to how a space feels when you’re in it.

Very grateful for clients who trust me and say yes to pattern. 💛☁️🪁

I’ve been doing some reflecting lately — about Swatched, about IDS, about this wild, challenging, rewarding season I’m in. When I said yes to serving as Vice President of , I knew it would take time and energy. What I didn’t realize was just how much heart and grit it would actually take — and how much I would grow because of it.

Since stepping into this role, I’ve navigated more Zooms, emails, meetings, and endless lists than I can count. I learned an entire web hosting system, only to have to start over when we switched platforms at the new year… and then added a third system with Auctria to manage Swatched. I trained volunteers. I organized Swatched, down to every single detail you’ll never notice — because if it works, you’re not supposed to. I’ve written every single event email — including the ones that accidentally went out with broken links or missing info — and yes, I was the one who sent the “I’m only human” follow-ups. (And if you’re wondering, yes, the linktree works 😉.)

I’ve designed social media, made signage, gathered auction donations, and hustled for sponsors — because I believe deeply in this event, this community, and especially in the mission of

And while I’m proud of the heavy lifting I’ve done, I also want to shout out our amazing board and volunteers who’ve helped me carry this thing across the finish line. It takes a team — and I am lucky to have one.

All of this? I’ve done while still running my own design business, making art (), preparing to collaborate with , and, you know, attempting to be a human during yet another dark, wet, and relentless PNW winter.

Designing a Kitchen: The Details Matter!

So much thought goes into a well-designed kitchen—every decision is a balance of function and aesthetics, which is why hiring a designer is always a good idea!

Take this kitchen, for example. We proposed a gorgeous 4x12 tile with rounded edges that creates playful grout lines in the negative space. The client loved it, but we wanted to minimize grout behind the stove for easier cleaning. Our solution? Incorporating the rectangular version of the tile in that area.

That decision brought up more questions: Where should the rounded tiles start and stop? How do we transition between the two styles seamlessly? And since this tile has a raised edge with a U-shaped profile, how do we finish off raw edges in a way that looks intentional and polished?

These are the kinds of details we tackle before the work even begins, collaborating with the contractor to ensure a flawless ex*****on. Thoughtful planning now means a beautiful, functional kitchen in the end. Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes looks at this kitchen in progress!

✨Powder Room Perfection✨

If you’re going to go bold, a powder room is the place to do it! This incredible wallpaper from Makelike (sourced through Manolo Walls) is a showstopper—rich, detailed, and full of personality. Makelike is a female-owned, Portland-based company, and their wallpapers are next-level in both quality and artistry. Supporting local makers and small businesses? Always a win.

When I proposed this paper, I had no idea my client’s dad was an entomologist with a collection of mounted and preserved curiosities—so this choice was meant to be! The organic vibes continue with a floating white oak vanity, an organic-shaped mirror, and a Japanese tile backsplash that pulls all the earthy, nuanced tones from the wallpaper.

This powder room is part of a larger kitchen remodel, but it’s holding its own as a tiny jewel box of design goodness. Big impact in a small space? Always the right move!

✨ One of the things I love most about design is seeing the potential in spaces that others might overlook. This Northern Michigan cottage has been sitting empty for years, with water damage and a layout that just doesn’t work. But it’s got so much charm waiting to be uncovered, and for me, this project hits close to home—I’m originally from Michigan, and there’s nothing like those summers spent at the cottage. This one feels deeply personal.

🏡 My plan? Keep the two-bedroom, two-bath footprint but make every square inch work harder. We’re moving one of the bathrooms to create a better flow and opening up the ceiling to add a cozy loft area. That dark, closed-off vestibule? It’s out! I’m proposing a welcoming porch instead, which will not only add charm but give residents more living space to enjoy those beautiful Michigan days.

🛠️ Of course, every renovation has its challenges—like that immovable concrete brick wall we have to design around—but that’s where the fun really starts for me. I get excited thinking in 3D, playing with the volume of a room, and considering how a space feels, not just how it looks on paper.

✨ My goal is to turn this neglected cottage into a modern Scandinavian retreat that feels cozy, charming, and truly functional. It’s all about making the most of what’s there while reimagining what it could be. This project isn’t just about design; it’s about bringing a bit of that Michigan summer magic back to life.

Swipe through to see the before and my vision for what’s next. 🛋️✨

I love a big dramatic gut renovation before/after as much as the next designer, but truth be told that's not feasible for everyone. Sometimes (usually) real life budgets and timelines mean we have to take things in stages, and add layers peice by piece.

I've been working on this house for over a decade adding special moments bit by bit. We started with the custom draperies, and then added the custom pillows which are still looking amazing even they they have been used daily for about 6 ish years.

The custom bedding happened about 4 years ago, and we will be tackling the window coverings next!

I truly believe that the most soulful homes are created over time and that spending money on quality items you *love* means your home will never go out of style.

Hard to believe this was 7 years ago. I still love this dining room, and am grateful the clients became friends, so I get to visit it often!
