We've all seen it...area rugs layered on top of wall to wall carpeting. Are there rules to this design decision? Is it something that designers encourage or avoid and how do you pull the look off if you want to try it in your own home?
Like most home design decisions it comes down to personal opinion and preference, but designer Dani, definitely gives her own opinion about the look and some suggestions for how to make the right choice if you're wanting to give it a try.
Contrasting + complimenting, and a little texture work together to create the look you're going for.

What happens when you have ALL the motivation to make changes to your home, but you're stuck in indecision? You don't know what color to paint the wall, where to move the couch or which art to remove from the wall?
You listen to today's Room Edit, a behind the scenes look at me helping a client who was in the EXACT SAME PLACE AS YOU, and you take some notes so you can make the changes to your home that reflect your style.
A Room Edit is a designer's eye on your room. We start with an interview and some pictures so I can gauge where we're starting and where we're going. Then I create a road map for you of suggestions to help you get there. With a road map and a navigational guide, you can do anything...including changing the look and feel of your home.

STUFF...we all have it, but did you know that too much stuff can cause anxiety? Today I'm having a conversation with Jessica Hayes, host of the Love Your People Well Podcast and a licensed family and marriage therapist. We talk candidly about the role stuff plays in our homes, the triggers it may be causing some people while leaving others well enough alone. We chat about busyness, community, self-love and SO MUCH more. Jessica provides practical actionable steps we can take to reduce the amount of stress and overwhelm that stems from all these things. Grab a notepad and a pen because you're going to want to remember these tips she shares so you can apply them to your own life.

The holidays are right around the corner and we're kicking off this holiday season with a reminder of the important role traditions play in the lives of families.
Why do traditions matter so much and how can we be more intentional when creating them for our own families? We're exploring that through the lense of the nearest holiday, Halloween.
Traditions are an important part of your family culture. They nurture family connections, bridge the gap between generations, provide meaning to our celebrations, provide structure that kids thrive on and, most simply, can be a lot of fun! Traditions by their very nature are repetitive, something to look forward to. Understanding them a little better can help you understand why they're worth repeating year after year.
And...you get my top 5 favorite family Halloween traditions. You might be surprised that this home decorator doesn't include decorating for Halloween in those top 5! Enjoy!

FAQs I get ALL THE TIME:
* How do I make the room come together?
* How do I make my room's design feel complete?
* How do I add the finishing touches to make my room look intentional?
* I have all the stuff, now what?
Though different in semantics, all these questions are basically asking the same thing: how do I top it all off? Where do I put the exclamation point to my home design's sentence?
In today's episode, I'm sharing my system for creating a look that WOWS! You'll definitely want to take notes.

When you walk into your room does something feel a bit off? Or when it comes time to decorate you are stuck in indecision? Or when you look around your room it doesn't feel cohesive? Sometimes the culprit is sitting right in front of you masquerading as a
BULLY.
Bullies in home design are a real thing. They're elements within your room that take over in a dominating way. Identifying them and remediating them though, is easier than you might think.
In today's episode we're chatting about what bullies in home design are, how to recognize them and how to take steps toward working them cohesively into your existing home design.
