Travel Diaries: Morocco

November 29, 2022

My husband and I first went to Morocco back in 2014. We knew we wanted to start a family, so we wanted to take a big international trip before doing so. We spent 4 days in Paris and another 3 days in Marrakech. Marrakech totally blew my mind. It was wild, exotic and unlike anything read more >>

August 7, 2022

This particular client reached out to me early 2021 wanted to revamp her historical home into something that was more functional for her family.

Travel Diaries: Tepoztlan

August 2, 2022

I’ve been meaning to write this post for weeks but always found myself stumped because I don’t feel like I can adequately describe how much I truly love this city.

Travel Diaries: San Miguel

July 20, 2022

San Miguel, Mexico has been on my list of places to visit for years. It’s reputation had preceded it – the shopping and art scene was supposed to be second to none. While we love traveling as a family, I had sort of put it on a pedestal, wanting to wait for that elusive opportunity read more >>

Travel Diaries: Italy

May 5th, 2022 marked 10 years married with my husband. Leading up to this milestone anniversary, we had a few ideas as to what we might want to do to celebrate. I thought we’d pick a long weekend and get away for a few days. Then a family member encouraged us to think bigger – read more >>

A Gilded Heights Guide to Mother’s Day

April 24, 2022

I love planning birthdays for my kids and making Christmas an EXPERIENCE. Sometimes Mother’s Day and Father’s Day can sneak up on me and in case you are the same way, here is a little bit of inspiration for you. I think I speak for most moms when I say the most ‘fun’ gifts are read more >>

New Year, Fresh Start?

January 11, 2022

I’ve never been a huge fan of the week between Christmas and New Years. I always feel a little lost at sea and am usually anxious to get on a routine again. This year, we decided to spend the awkward last week of the year in Belize on the beach. I’ll admit it was a read more >>

Broken Bow: Your Questions, Answered

December 14, 2021

It’s hard to believe we started our Broken Bow projects a little over a year ago. After breaking ground in early spring, we had high hopes to fly through the construction process as McCurtain county doesn’t require normal inspections and permitting that you have in a place like Dallas. I envisioned collecting unique and vintage read more >>

Round Top Round Up

October 16, 2021

Round Top is a Texas town just about 4 hours from Dallas between Austin and Houston. It’s a pretty sleepy place with one main road and a town Mercantile. Needless to say, there isn’t much to make Round Top stand out, except for the fact that for the last 50 years (twice a year), they read more >>

Life Lately: Survival Mode

October 5, 2021

I’ve noticed a lot of folks on Instagram commenting on ‘real life’ situations that aren’t necessarily picture-perfect or social media worthy like our feeds. I’m talking about the marathon to get out the door in the morning for school, the hustle of the day, multiple pick ups, extra curricular activities, chauffeuring bodies to and from read more >>

Fall is in the Air

September 21, 2021

We may still be battling 100 degree temperatures here this week in Texas, but Fall officially begins on Wednesday! It’s about this time of year that summer fatigue hits and I am desperate for cozy sweaters and boots (pumpkin spice lattes not so much). We don’t get many moderate weather days between blistering heat and read more >>

My Target Picks

August 24, 2021

Over the last few weeks, my oldest two kids had reading therapy in the mornings. This left me and my youngest, Bowen, with some free time together before picking them up and heading to summer camp. Bowen loved our morning dates.. as long as they included chocolate milk and a croissant. Because I thrive off read more >>

Etsy Lighting Round Up

August 17, 2021

One of my favorite things to do as a designer is select lighting. It’s like jewelry for interiors, so it should be intentional and timeless. Surprisingly, a lot of my selections are made via the internet. I think for most people, this seems scary and risky. I can see that. Keep in mind though, as read more >>

Project Update: Broken Bow

August 11, 2021

It’s really happening! Our little cabins in Broken Bow are moving right along. Cabinetry is starting to install and tile goes in next week. What the heck is Broken Bow you ask? Well, if you don’t know, you should start here. For our four, smaller, three-bedroom cabins, I really wanted something that touched on Mid-Century read more >>

Travel Diaries: Sayulita

July 27, 2021

If you know my husband and I at all, you know we love Mexico. We got engaged in Tulum and have brought each of the kids since they were babies. Honestly, it’s an easy trip as a family and we love the experience, but most of all, the culture. My first trip to Mexico was read more >>

Make Your Bed Your Happy Place

July 13, 2021

When I worked as a designer in the hospitality industry, I had the opportunity to work on all different kinds of spaces – bars, guest rooms, lobbies, and ballrooms too! The only thing I really didn’t get a chance to sink my teeth into was bedding. The ‘white bed’ was all the craze and hotel read more >>

Summer Must Haves

June 29, 2021

I know you come here for the pretty interiors. However, I’m taking a break this week to bring you my summer must have list! I’ve always prided myself on discovering new, unique products.

Aesthetically Pleasing Candles

June 15, 2021

At a recent photoshoot of a client’s finished home, I found myself rummaging through her cabinets for candles. It was definitely a non-essential detail for the type of photos being taken, but I went there nonetheless. Her options weren’t bad necessarily, they just didn’t really fit the aesthetic of their home. We made it work read more >>

Wallpaper Round Up!

June 8, 2021

Having grown up in Seattle, a little rain doesn’t bother me. In fact, I sort of live for a rainy morning with a cup of coffee. This monsoon season we currently find ourselves in though is starting to wear on me. As much as I can’t believe I am admitting this, I am desperate to read more >>

Styling Must Haves

May 26, 2021

Creating a Kid Friendly Space

May 4, 2021

Growing up, I remember my parents having a real interest in home decor. We had a room in our house that was sort of ‘off limits’. Really, we were just encouraged to play elsewhere. It had plush white couches and glass top tables. My brother and I were certainly active kids, but we were also read more >>

A Spring Pillow Roundup

April 27, 2021

A few weeks ago I stumbled upon some great block print cushion pillows in my closet I had purchased last summer. I got distracted and started walking around the house looking for a spot for them. I ended up putting them on the guest room bed as a Euro pillow and I loved the look. read more >>

Project Update: Broken Bow

April 13, 2021

You might have noticed some silence about our Broken Bow project. Things were happening, it just wasn’t super exciting news to share. That’s all about to change though! In case you hadn’t heard, we are in the process of building 5 properties up in Broken Bow, Oklahoma. We had only been one time before with read more >>
