It’s hard to commit when designing your home — waiting for the perfect piece, the perfect look, the perfect moment.

But here’s the truth: your home should feel like you. Not anyone else.

The spaces you live in every day deserve intention, comfort, and a sense of belonging that no trend can define.

When you stop second-guessing and start choosing what you truly love, everything shifts.

Commit to your style.
Trust your gut.
Ignore the noise.

Because the most beautiful homes aren’t perfect — they’re personal.

There was a time when The Preppy Handbook wasn’t just a book—it was a way of life, and for so many of our clients, it still quietly shapes what feels like home.

Our clients’ powder room captures that nostalgia in a way that feels both tailored and timeless anchored by the plaid wallcovering that echoes the iconic pattern.  The selections feel refined, proper and effortless, nodding to a sense of quiet luxury that has always been at the heart of preppy style.

In our clients’ words, “It feels like it has always belonged in our home.”

Cherished memories of his childhood home became the inspiration behind this thoughtfully reimagined bathroom. Toile sets the tone—softly nostalgic, yet elevated—layering story and pattern into a space that feels both timeless and deeply personal.

This is more than a bathroom—it’s a quiet return to something familiar, honoring his past and reinterpreted for modern living.

Last night we had the honor of being recognized as a finalist in five categories for the design awards and won in the children’s room category. As grateful as we are for this prestigious recognition, I am most grateful for our team. Every day, I show up excited for our day ahead and amazed that I get to do what I love and call it work. I am in awe of the talent in our small, but mighty team. We spend our days collaborating, respectfully challenging each other, improving our processes, communicating with our wonderful clients and most importantly, laughing. We are each in different stages in life, which offers unique perspectives that benefit our clients’ journeys. It is my honor and priviledge to serve my team and clients. Every day we learn and grow while supporting each other. Life is good.

As a young professional and mother, your calendar is maxed out before the week even begins. With the mental load of running a household, there’s little room left for decisions—especially when it comes to your home.

We see it all the time and personally experience it.  Life pulls you in a hundred directions, and your home should be the one place that restores you. A thoughtfully designed, functional home isn’t a luxury—it’s foundational to your well-being.

In the interior design industry, we talk a lot about form and function, livable luxury, and intentional spaces. But at the heart of it, great design is about supporting your lifestyle. When your home reflects your personality, supports your routines, and eliminates visual chaos, it directly impacts your mental health. 

For many young professionals, budget is part of the conversation. You want to prioritize experiences, your children, and long-term investments.  And that’s where strategic design comes in.

This particular client came to us with eclectic taste, a strong point of view, and a realistic budget. She didn’t need everything to be high-end—she needed it to be cohesive, layered, and intentional. Together, we implemented a high/low design strategy, guiding her on where to invest (key anchor pieces, quality upholstery, foundational lighting) and where to save (accent décor, trend-forward accessories, select case goods).

Through thoughtful space planning, curated materials, layered textures, and a mix of investment pieces and accessible finds, we created a home that feels collected—not compromised. She trusted the process, embraced a few bold risks, and allowed us to push the design just enough.

The result? A funky, comfy-cozy, retreat-like vibe that feels elevated yet approachable. A home designed for real life—beautiful, functional, and deeply personal.

Because when you’re building a career and raising a family, your home should work just as hard as you do.

Our clients came to us with a sense of excitement and closure.  As newly empty nesters, they wanted their home to reflect their new lifestyle.   
 
I know the feeling well.  As an empty nester, our home feels different.  It supports a lifestyle different than before.  When our lives were full of carpools, packed schedules, and constant cooking,  home became a backdrop. It supported the hustle, but wasn’t the focus.  Even as an interior designer who understands the importance of a well-designed space, family fun and obligations took center stage.  Sometimes design projects did not get the energy they deserved.  

My friends feel the same.  After kids move on to their next phase of life, we all look around and realize how much time has passed.  Our home is worn in the most beautiful ways and also ready for renewed intention.  

With more wisdom, clarity, and the means to invest, this is the moment we decide to create a space that feels truly aligned.  We are ready to design a home to support our daily lives and also welcome our kids home in every season of theirs.
