CREATING HAVENS: spaces that are relaxing, comfortable, welcoming + fully reflecting YOU
06/01/2026
Don’t let your butler’s pantry be an afterthought. ✨
It’s the perfect opportunity to do something unexpected—moody colors, bold wallpaper, vintage details, or a completely different vibe from the kitchen.
A little surprise tucked behind the scenes can become one of the most memorable spaces in the home. 🤎

A master bedroom refresh is all about creating a space that feels calm, cozy, and restful. ✨
Layering warm tones, soft textures, and intentional details can completely transform the feel of a room without a full renovation.
Simple updates. Big impact. 🤎

When the design plan starts to come to life ✨
There’s something so rewarding about watching all the details slowly fall into place — layers, textures, warmth, and personality finally turning a house into home!

Dining Room Layouts ✨
Do you actually know your dining room layout?
Before picking furniture, your floor plan matters most.
Think through:
– Is your table the right size?
– Do you have enough space to move around it?
– How many chairs fit comfortably?
– Open to mixing seating (benches, host chairs)?
– How low should your light hang?
– What size rug works best?
– Should everything sit on the rug?
These small decisions make a big difference.
If you’re stuck, I’m here to help you figure it out 🤎

Fresh coat. Fresh glow. ✨
Nothing transforms a space faster than paint + lighting—clean, warm, and instantly elevated.
Same kitchen, whole new feel

Meet the client, not the trend ✨
When a client says disco ball, slide, merry-go-round horse, and bold colors… you don’t tone it down — you lean all the way in.
Design should reflect them, not what’s trending. Always.

Phase One is the foundation ✨
One thing I always remind clients — beautiful spaces aren’t created all at once. They’re built in layers, through intentional design phases that allow every detail to come together thoughtfully.
– layout
– coloration
– overall feel
It might not feel “done” yet, but this step sets everything up for what’s to come. The magic is in the layers—those finishing details that make a space feel warm, lived-in, and complete.
Family Room Phase One is done, and I’m excited to keep building!

There is something wildly transformative about a fresh coat of paint.
Same walls. Same furniture. Same square footage.
But a new color? Everything shifts.
Paint sets the mood. It softens light. It adds depth. It creates warmth where there wasn’t any. It can make a space feel cozy, elevated, calm, dramatic — all with a few gallons and a vision.
Never underestimate the power of color. It’s the simplest way to completely change how a room feels 🤎✨

Forever a lover of layering — elements, textiles, finishes… all the little details that bring a client’s home to life. 🤎✨
There’s nothing better than watching a space transform as each layer is added: the warmth of a woven textile, the charm of a vintage piece, the richness of a thoughtfully chosen finish. One by one, they create a home that feels collected, intentional, and deeply personal.
It’s truly where the magic happens. ✨

When clients ask what rugs I love most, it’s always Loloi Rugs + Joon Loloi✨ They’re in my projects and my own home — and for good reason. WHY?!👇🏼
