Not sure how to describe your design style?
You’re not alone!
You might love the warmth of wood, the simplicity of neutral colors, the texture of natural materials… but when someone asks, “What’s your style?” you’re not quite sure what to say.
Let’s narrow it down. 👇
A — Modern Organic
Warm, natural, relaxed and layered with earthy textures.
B — Modern Farmhouse
Comfortable, classic and welcoming with a little more traditional character.
Which one would you choose for your home — A or B?
And here's the fun part: you don't have to fit perfectly into one style. Your home should reflect you, not a label.
Tell me your pick in the comments!

Stuck on a layout?

Sometimes you can look at a floor plan a dozen times and still wonder, “Is this really going to work?”

That’s where I can help.

I’ll help you explore the possibilities, work through the layout, and visualize the space before you commit to walls, cabinets, finishes, or furniture.

Through space planning, 3D renderings, and thoughtful design guidance, we can turn “I’m not sure…” into “Yes! That’s it.”

Let’s see what’s possible for your home.

Anyone else like to tackle a home project when their spouse is away? 🙋‍♀️

I had been wanting to repaint this bathroom for a long time. I knew I wanted to bring the walls closer to the deep tones in the floor and shower tile, but I kept talking myself out of it.

What if it’s too dark?
What if I hate it?
What if I just made my bathroom look like a cave?

But eventually, I decided to take the plunge. At least if I didn't like it I could repaint it before my hubby came home, right?

And you know what? I LOVE IT.

Instead of feeling dark, the rich brown makes the room feel warm, elegant and pulled together. It actually makes the tile I already loved look even better.

Sometimes we get so stuck worrying about making the wrong choice that we never give ourselves the chance to see how good the bold choice might be.

A little reminder from my bathroom makeover: sometimes you just have to be brave, trust your gut and pick up the paintbrush.

Now… what have YOU been wanting to change in your home but have been afraid to take the plunge on?

You voted... now it's time to reveal the final design! Tell me your favorite part of the kitchen remodel....

Thank you to everyone who weighed in on my kitchen design poll! It was so much fun seeing your favorite, and I'm excited to share the finished design the homeowner selected.

Here's where we landed:
~ Benjamin Moore Simply White on the main cabinetry for a warm, timeless look.

~ Benjamin Moore Hale Navy on the island and butler's pantry door to add depth and contrast.

~The butler's pantry is wrapped in beautiful warm maple, bringing in natural texture and warmth.

~ Cambria Ironsbridge countertops tie everything together with soft movement and elegance.

~ The statement piece is the polished blue-green herringbone backsplash, adding just the right amount of color and personality.

~Light oak flooring keeps the entire space feeling bright, warm, and connected.

~ And to maintain the clean, custom look, the refrigerator and freezer are fully paneled, blending seamlessly into the cabinetry.

I love how this kitchen feels classic with a fresh twist. Every finish was chosen to complement the others, creating a space that's warm, inviting, and designed to stand the test of time.

Now that you've seen the final design...what's your favorite detail? The navy island? The maple butler's pantry? The paneled appliances? Or are you like me and can't stop looking at that gorgeous herringbone backsplash? I'd love to hear! 👇

We need your votes...which of these white kitchens do you like better?

#1 has light tiled floor and a brass/copper range hood.

#2 has a darker toned wood floor and black and brass range hood.

Thanks for your help!

"What kind of rooms do you design?"

I get asked that question all the time.

The short answer? Almost every room in your home.

From kitchens where everyone gathers... to cozy living rooms, relaxing bedrooms, spa-like bathrooms, welcoming entryways, and productive home offices—I design spaces that fit the way you live.

Whether you're building a new home, remodeling, or simply dreaming about what's possible, I'd love to help you see your ideas come to life before construction even begins.

✨ Which room would you update first?

✨ What Was Trending on the 2026 Artisan Home Tour?

Every year I leave the Artisan Home Tour inspired... and this year did not disappoint! Here are a few design trends that kept showing up in home after home:

~Rich, darker wood stains on cabinetry

~Warm brown-toned painted cabinets replacing cool grays

~ Fireplaces full of beautiful texture and character

~ Statement lighting that doubles as artwork

~Creative staircases that become a design feature all on their own

And outside...

🪵 A beautiful mix of natural wood and stone
🖤 Black windows that continue to create timeless curb appeal

Which trend is your favorite?

If touring these homes has you dreaming about updating your own space, I'd love to help. I'm offering a special Home Tour Design Consultation inspired by this year's trends. We'll talk about how to bring the ideas you loved into your own home—without guessing what will work.

Design Trend Alert: Faux Finishes Are Back! ✨

One of the biggest surprises from this year's Artisan Home Tour?

Faux painting is making a comeback—and it's anything but outdated.

We spotted these beautiful hand-painted finishes in not one, but many of the multi-million-dollar homes we toured, adding warmth, texture, and character that simply can't be achieved with flat paint.

From soft plaster-inspired walls to old-world European charm, these finishes create a space that feels layered, collected, and lived in.

It's a reminder that great design isn't about following trends—it's about creating a home with personality.

So, I'm curious...

🤔 Do you love the look of faux finishes, or would you keep your walls a solid color?

Bathroom inspiration overload!

My niece Michelle and I spent the weekend touring 15 incredible homes on the Artisan Home Tour, and one thing is clear... bathrooms are no longer just functional spaces—they're becoming personal retreats.

Our favorite? 🤍 A warm, spa-like bathroom featuring a stunning slotted wood accent wall paired with gorgeous carved stone sinks. It felt natural, cozy, and completely inviting.

Some other trends we spotted everywhere:
✨ Thick countertop edges that make a bold statement
🖤 Matte black freestanding tubs
🌿 Unique wallpapers full of personality
🪨 Full granite slab walls and backsplashes
💡 Fun, sculptural lighting that doubles as art

The biggest trend of all? Designing a space that feels uniquely yours.

Which trend would you bring into your own bathroom?
