At the end of the day, holiday decorating isn’t about perfection—it’s about creating spaces where your people feel at home. Add greenery where it makes you smile. Light the candles even on a Tuesday. Let your décor reflect your family’s traditions, your personality, and the memories you’re making this season.

Have you started your Christmas shopping yet?! I’ve always loved finding the perfect gifts and sharing my favorite things for your home and lifestyle. So I decided to put together some gift guides! I’ve had so much fun creating them, and I hope they make your holiday shopping a little easier (and a lot more fun!) ♥️ 

If you’re decoration-shopping this season, treat yourself to a mix: one standout piece, one budget-friendly bulk set, and maybe one “fun for the kids” item. That balances practicality (hello mom of 4 + introvert) + design intention. And don’t stress if everything doesn’t match perfectly—the trend this year is more about feeling warm, personal, nostalgic.

I thought I was an Autumn — until my House of Colour analysis proved otherwise. As a true Winter, I’ve finally found the shades that make me feel vibrant, confident, and like myself.

Home has always been my favorite place to be—and making it feel warm, functional, and beautiful is something I truly love. These are some of my favorite decor pieces and styling tips that help bring everyday comfort and personality to our space.

As an interior designer, one of the quickest ways I elevate any space—whether it's a cozy family room or a polished office—is with beautiful, well-fitted curtains. I truly believe that even if you have blinds, curtains are still a must. They’re not just a finishing touch—they're a foundational design element that adds warmth, texture, color, and personality to a room.

Not every transformation requires a full renovation. In this recent living room project, we kept the existing layout and architecture completely intact—and focused instead on adding built-in bookcases, new furniture, and layered decor to bring fresh life and function to the space.

As an interior designer and a mom, I love refreshing my home when the seasons change—especially when spring arrives. After a long Midwest winter, it feels good to lighten up our spaces, bring in fresh energy, and embrace the warmer weather ahead. The best part? A seasonal refresh doesn’t have to break the bank! Whether you’re looking for small, budget-friendly updates or ready to invest in bigger changes, here are some of my favorite ways to refresh your home for spring.

As a homeowner, interior designer, DIY enthusiast, and busy mom, I’ve come to accept that no matter how much I accomplish in a day, there’s always that stubborn 5% that lingers undone.

As an interior designer, I’m a firm believer that an organized home is not just aesthetically pleasing but also a game-changer for functionality and peace of mind.
