My mission is to equip you with all the how-tos so you can decorate a home you love walking in to; a home you are confident in, that feels cozy and comfortable; a home that feels cohesive and put together. Hey, I’m Dani - a former First Grade teacher turned home decorator.

4. Picture frames (Ribba)
5. Baskets (Fladis)
Bonus: Glass bottle with stopper (Korken)
These items are always in my cart and the prices can't be beat.

1. Blankets
2. Faux fur rugs

Cluttercore
What is that? Cluttercore is a decorating style that is not quite Cottagecore (go back and listen to Episode 15) and not quite Maximalism, but it most definitely isn't minimalism.
Cluttercore "revels in the idea of keeping things you love within reach and keeping your eyes full of the jumble it creates." Clutter sounds like the right descriptor.
But what if clutter isn't your thing? That's OK...the idea behind Cluttercore is that you are surrounding yourself with the things that you love...aka your story. And THAT I couldn't agree more with.

Everyone loves a good before and after
and for one client, this before and after belongs to HER!
Join the behind the scenes look at the conversation with my home design client Jen as I share the rationale behind the custom vision boards I created for her dining room.

Are YOU ready for transformation in your home?
Have you said one of these things to yourself lately:
* How do I even start decorating my home?
* I wish I knew someone who could help me decorate my home.
* If only there was a roadmap that told me what changes I should be making first, I'd love that.
* Decorating my home is going to be so expensive, why bother.

Are your laundry piles overflowing?!
If you said yes, join the thousands of women who complain daily about their laundry. It's the never-ending chore. Once you think you're done, you see another load that needs to be washed. But what do you DO about it?
Searching on Pinterest is only part of the solution and will often yield a lot of ideas - so many ideas that you may leave feeling even more overhwelmed and confused at how to systemize it than you started.
Develop your own system that works for your home, your family, your laundry. In this episode I share the system that works for me, but I don't expect it to be your solution. Instead, I'm breaking down the process I took to create my own in the hopes that you can do the same three things to navigate the problem, the solution and then creating a habit in order to be successful.

Do you ever wonder if designers ever have designer-block?
The short answer...YES. The long answer...it's absolutely no fun. But what do you do about it? You seek sources of inspiration, surrounding yourself with ideas that seem to be oozing beauty, creativity, and resourcefulness and you take it all in. You absorb, you take notes, you even lounge on the couches then go reflect over what you saw and your plate of Swedish meatballs. In this episode I share five easy ways I immerse myself with inspiration.
Are you ready for some inspiration - some ideas to refresh your own space this spring? Book a Decorating S.O.S. (Step Out of Overwhelm and Start) call - where we talk about the room, what's keeping you stuck and ideas for taking your first few steps toward creating a home that is as inspiring to you as those images you see.

Have you ever wondered what toxins are lurking in our homes?
I've wondered for years and a few years ago I started removing what was easy: candles, perfumes, fabric sheets, cleaners. My journey has just begun and I have a lot yet to learn. That's why I was so excited to have this conversation with Elyse Rooney from the Wholesome Mumma podcast.
She teaches her mamas how to live a life of intention with more simplicity and way less toxins.
As we conclude our three part series: New Year, New You I hope you are inspired to not only nurture your home, but the people you share your home with.

What is Capsule Decor?
Think of capsule decor as the building blocks of your home that support the foundation of your personal style. Start by investing in timeless, classic pieces that set your current design aesthetic (style) - then add trends, color, prints and patterns for each season.
Creating Capsule Decor in the same way you might create a capsule wardrobe can help you save money, time and decision fatigue when you get the itch to re-fresh your home for a new season.
In this episode, learn the four steps it takes to creating capsule decor.

What's the WORST that can happen?
This is a common question I ask my clients. It's become SO common, I find myself asking it in everyday situations when I feel a bit uncomfortable doing something new or trying something different. But what happens when you hear a little whisper on your heart - a dream in the making - will that question be enough to encourage ACTION?
In today's podcast I'm having a conversation with my business coach and mentor, Stefanie Gass. She's the host of the .5% globally ranked podcast, The Stefanie Gass Show where she teaches Christian women how to get clear on their niche, start a podcast, and grow a successful online business, God's way.
She gives four steps you can take when you hear that little nudge - four steps that encourage taking the brave first step! After you've heard the conversation you may be ready to pursue that nudge, whisper, dream, calling. Here are the links Stefanie shared during our conversation:
