If you're planning a renovation or building a new home, chances are you've spent time dreaming about paint colors and stunning countertops. But some of the most important decisions happen long before the finishes are selected.

In our latest blog post, we're sharing five of the most common renovation & new build mistakes homeowners make—many of which are difficult (and expensive) to correct once construction is complete.

From forgetting floor outlets to overlooking future window treatment wiring and furniture layouts, these are the details that can have a lasting impact on how your home functions every day.

The good news? With thoughtful planning and the right team in place, these costly oversights are entirely avoidable.

Before summer gets into full swing, take a look at your home's drop zones.

The spaces that greet you when you walk through the door have a bigger impact than you might think. Thoughtful storage, layered textures, and a few beautiful organizational pieces can transform everyday routines into something that feels effortless.

When everything has a place, your home feels lighter, calmer, and easier to enjoy. But remember, beautiful organization isn't about perfection—it's about creating effortless systems that support the way you actually live. ☀️🤍

La dolce vita, brought home. 🍋💙 🇮🇹

While we were creating the concept for this outdoor space, our clients were telling us about their recent trip to Italy - one of their favorite experiences ever. They had brought back a custom painted table that incorporated bold yellows and cobalt blues, and we used that as our jumping off point for their backyard (because who doesn't need a little italian riviera energy in their home?)

We designed this space to feel relaxed, vibrant, and full of charm. From the scalloped striped umbrellas to the vibrant lemon pillows and custom loungers - finished with the sweetest yellow welt detail - every piece was chosen to feel playful, polished, and reminiscent of their travels overseas.

The result is a backyard that feels like an escape — layered with personality, meaningful details, and just the right amount of summer nostalgia.

Design is always at its best when it tells a personal story. 💚

There’s something I love about moments like this — when the wallpaper is freshly installed, the blue tape is still on, and you can feel the transformation taking shape.

This gorgeous botanical print is bringing so much life and personality to our client’s entryway — a cheerful welcome every time they walk through the door. We also removed the paper (quite the feat in this historic home!) in the dining room, and painted it in a blue hue that perfectly coordinates with the paper!

Can’t wait to share the final reveal soon!

We are closed today, Saturday Sept 13th due to a power outage on Division Street.
