The Design Bars

On this Memorial Day…🇺🇸
Remembering all those that serve & all those who have lost their life so we can be free.

The Most Overlooked Room in Your Home is not what you think because to me , mental health begins at home….Literally
In mental health, we talk about ….
Therapy
Meditation
Well-being
Nervous system regulation
(what is this really??)

But rarely do we talk about the one environment that holds our story every single day:

OUR HOME 🏠

In my work as a transformational designer, I view the home as an energetic container — a living system that mirrors your inner self.

Your space has memory.
Your walls hold patterns.

This May, for Mental Health Awareness Month, I offer this truth:

Wellness doesn’t just happen within you. It happens around you. Healing and holistic living becomes inevitable when your environment is designed for wholeness.

I am not your ordinary designer. I promise you that. When you work with me, I transform not only your environment, but your life. Follow along while I show you my new paradigm for living your life based on my own truths and my own research. Actual legit scholarly research founded from my own pursuit in a PhD in Transpersonal Psychology. You are never too old to learn and grow. And when you hear my story. MY WHY…you too will want to…

LIVE . LIFE . BEAUTIFULLY

Comment 🤍 if you believe interior design should be part of the mental health conversation.

SHHHH…SECRET SANTA SALE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY ONLY! 🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻
What’s a secret Santa sale you ask? Well…if I’m being honest, it’s a way for you to come in and actually visit then store and shop! It’s also a way to get great savings on a secret item that is exclusive to this sale only…so in other words…you need to come in and find out what the sale is! 😜
How’s that for a marketing technique? It gets you in our beautiful store to find out our secret sale and to shop all things Christmas.
This year, we went all out and put together grab and go gift packages for all the hostesses in your life or even your girlfriends that need a little something from you! Easy Peasy! And if you’re anything like me when you Christmas shop, pick up something for yourself as well! My ratio is usually 2:1…two items for me, one gift item. I can’t help myself! Who else is like that?? 🙋🏼‍♀️
We have holiday decor galore (I liked that wording cause it rhymes 🙈), ornaments, trees and all thing entertaining for all those parties you are having….or attending!!
So stop by today 10-6pm or tomorrow 10-5 pm and find out what our secret sale items are! And as always….thank you for my shopping local, woman owned business. It’s rough out there sometimes!
And…..Leave me a note below 👇🏻 commenting on your shopping ratios…I always like to hear who else buys more stuff for themselves than those on their shopping list!

SOMETIMES YOU JUST NEED TO POST A PICTURE OF A PRETTY ROOM! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Honestly…it’s my favorite room in my house. I have done a few photo shoots here but do you want to know the thing I love the most about it?
No…it’s not the stunning wallpaper
No…it’s not the sofa that turns into the most scrumptious bed for my children to sleep in when they visit me from all over the country.
And no…it’s not the 70’s style artwork that reminds me of my teenage years, laying out in the sun getting as tan as possible (yes that was a THING when I was younger)
It’s the fact that I feel safe here. I feel at home, in my element to be inherently who I am and unapologetically…just me. Shouldn’t every room in your home make you feel that way? Peaceful and at ease? Comfortable, even though it’s a little fancy….💃🏼
And the best part of it…I call it the sunroom because it faces west and when it is cold and dreary in the winter, it warms my soul and I can escape in its warmth.
That’s what’s special about what I do. I am not just your average designer who makes beautiful rooms. I am THE designer that makes your house a home. Your sanctuary where you can be…unapologetically YOU!
Let me know how I can help you feel at home. I am always just a phone call away!

DESIGN BAR TREE DECORATING TIPS 🌲
Who is decorating their tree this weekend? Here is my super secret shopping list to enhance any tree! This list is assuming you she. Some basic ornaments for your tree but don’t be shy! The more ornaments the better! Here are my tips!
1. Use 8” ornaments INSIDE your tree. Place them toward the stem to fill in holes! It adds layers!
2. Next hang your 6” and 4” round ornaments. Again…place them inside the tree! Not all ornaments hang on the end of the branches! Leave those ends for the special ornaments!
3. Layer in some floral picks/stems. I like adding these in because they create texture and make a tree look more organic.
4. As mentioned above, leave the long finial and luxe ornaments for the end of the branches.
5. Am going to mention that again because it’s super important…leave the finials and luxe ornaments for the end of the branches.
6. Place your tree topper NOT on the top of the tree but layer it with some of the picks at the top. Don’t make them stick out! It looks like the tree has bed head then! 😳(that’s my opinion)
7. Add some garland if you want. Dainty garland. Not heavy and it does not need to go all the way around the tree in a circle. Make it look organic!!
That’s it! Enjoy your Design Bar like tree! Let me know if you have any questions!!am happy to help!
