I’m so excited to finally be sharing more of my Marco Island project ✨

This one is full of color, texture, and pattern, and it has been so fun designing for this Florida home. We leaned into layers of warm tones, playful prints, natural textures, and pieces that feel collected rather than overly coordinated.

The goal was to create a home that feels relaxed and livable, while still having plenty of personality in every room. A little coastal, a little unexpected, and so fitting for life on Marco Island.

There is so much more to share from this one, and I can’t wait to show you all the details. 🌴

One of my favorite parts of the process is seeing a drawing start to become a real space. ✨

There are a lot of decisions that happen before we ever get to this point. The initial drawings give us a roadmap for the kitchen — working through the layout, cabinetry, proportions, and all of those little details that are much easier to solve on paper than during construction.

And once construction starts, I’m still very much involved. I love getting out to the job site, walking through everything in person, answering questions, and making sure what we planned on paper is actually coming together the way we envisioned.

Seeing the drawing and the progress side by side is always pretty fun. It’s slowly starting to look like the kitchen we’ve been talking about for months!

This morning light deserved a spot on the feed. ✨

The prettiest glow coming through the laundry room window and making all of these colors come alive.

Summer is winding down, and I think I’m officially ready for fall. I’ll take the cooler mornings, open windows, and that first hint of fall in the air. 🍂

A cozy bed to settle into at the end of the day, and a quiet little corner by the window for morning coffee, a good book, or a few peaceful minutes before the day begins.

Sometimes, it’s the simplest additions that make a home feel the most special. 🤍

The most luxurious part of a custom kitchen isn’t always what you notice first.

It’s the hidden refrigerator drawers. The appliance garage that keeps everyday essentials tucked away but easy to access. The storage that’s designed with intention instead of trying to make standard cabinets work.

When everything has a place, your kitchen feels calmer, cleaner, and so much more functional.✨

To most people, this probably just looks like a wall of wallpaper samples. To me, it is a wall full of possibilities. ✨

Every texture, weave, and finish brings something different to a space. The right wallcovering can add warmth, depth, and personality in a way that paint just can’t.

I love imagining where these beautiful materials will end up and it’s amazing how one thoughtful detail can completely change the feel of a room.

The design process starts long before the furniture arrives, and this is one of my favorite parts.

I’m so excited to finally start sharing this beautiful new build with you. 🤍

One of my favorite parts of a new build is helping clients make the selections that truly make the house feel like home.

It’s easy to get overwhelmed by all the decisions, but that’s where I come in. I love helping clients choose finishes that work together, reflect their style, and create a home they’ll love for years to come.

We’re kicking off this project with one of my favorite spaces. This bathroom is bright, timeless, and proof that thoughtful design is always worth the investment.

I can’t wait to share more from this home with you!

Design is all about balance.

A little drama, a little warmth, something bold, something soft.

This room has such a pretty mix of textures and tones, but what I love most is how comfortable it still feels. It’s polished, but not too perfect. Beautiful, but still meant to be lived in.

That’s always the goal. 🤍

This kitchen has such a beautiful balance of statement moments and soft, welcoming details.

For this space, we wanted to bring in a little drama with that gorgeous statement hood and movement in the stone, while still keeping the room warm and inviting. I love how the soft whites, rich wood tones, brass details, and natural textures all work together so effortlessly. It has a polished feel, but there is still an ease to it that makes it so livable.

Those are always my favorite kind of rooms. 🤍

It’s so special sitting down with a client and really getting to know what they love.

Before anything is selected, I love to listen. How do you want the room to feel? What pieces do you already have that mean something to you? What colors, textures, or little details make you feel at home? From there, the fun begins!

I spend a lot of time working with our wonderful local showrooms, pulling fabrics, finishes, furnishings, and materials that feel just right for each client. There are so many beautiful options out there, and sometimes that can feel overwhelming when you are trying to make decisions on your own.

That is where a designer can be such a gift. Instead of feeling restricted or unsure, you get to see how endless the possibilities really are. My job is to help narrow those possibilities into something that feels personal, thoughtful, and completely suited to you.

Design is never one size fits all. It is about finding the perfect fit for your home, your lifestyle, and the way you want to live every day.🤎
