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:

"Designer"...sounds pricey doesn't it?
Is the potential cost of the designer holding you back from getting the help that you want and need in your home? Are you READY to hire someone who can guide you through the process? Before you open the yellow pages or scroll Google, think about these 5 things so you'll be ready to interview the prospective designer when you chat.
T.R.U.S.T.
T: Time (they should take time to get to know YOU so they can appropriately design a space that serves you!)
R: Respect (they should respect your budget, no matter how small, your time and your style.)
U: Understand (silly, but...they should understand that they DON'T live there and their design should reflect YOU.)
S: Show (they should be able to show you product or a plan before you purchase a thing.)
T: Teach (they should include you in the process enough that you are learning a thing or two along the way - so you have a tool in your tool belt for the next time you want a room re-fresh.)

Are you a Stuff Manager?
Or maybe a Stuff Shuffler? Whatever you call it, managing stuff is a problem so many of us mamas face daily. Moving piles of stuff to sit down for dinner, putting kids' stuff away to make space for a family movie night, picking stuff off the floor of your closet that doesn't have a proper home anymore. What if, instead of ignoring the elephant in the room, we actually kicked it out? What if, we gathered together enough time, tips, support, encouragement, and accountability to make headway in this problem area that so many of us have had for years.
What if...instead of spending our time moving piles of stuff we were able to play games with our kiddos each night?
What if...instead of letting the stuff on the table win, we were able to sit at the dinner table as a family and share a meal and conversation together?
What if...instead of picking through the pile of clothes each morning wondering which shirt is clean and which is dirty, we were able to find a clean shirt hanging in the shirt section in our closet?
What if?

Hear ye, hear ye...
The 2023 home design predictions are here!!! Design experts from all the places came together (but not really since there are some seriously contradicting ideas) to forecast their home design and decor predictions of the year. So...what's staying and what's going? Some are repeats from last year, some were complete shockers that they're still a 'trend' and others are absolutely no surprise. And some friends...are things fig & farm (at home) has been saying since day 1!!!
Listen in, then weigh in inside our Facebook Group on which trend are you happy to see leaving and which one you're happy to see coming.

You've put the Christmas decorations away, it's a new year and now you're ready for a fresh start in your home's decorations? Is this you?
Before you go to your favorite home decor store or get your credit card out to make the big purchase, I encourage you to Pause. Reflect on what your home has done for you this past year - the way it's served you and your family well. Explore the Purpose you have for your home (or more specifically, the room you want to refresh) and ask yourself what you want that room to do for you and how it can serve you and your family a little better than it did last year. Then, before making any changes or purchases, make a Plan. How does that plan reflect the purpose you have for the room, your unique design style, your feeling word you want for the room and your color palette? Not sure how all of those things go together or why they even matter?
