Part 2 of how to mix old and new! What happens when you have a pristine vintage or antique piece of furniture? Does it mean you have to have a traditional style?
NO WAY!
You just need to know how to marry old and new.
In today's episode I teach you how you can begin seeing potential in the way you incorporate vintage or antique furniture into a more modern aesthetic/style and why this style is actually my preferred way of decorating. It creates a storied, curated look and done well, can be absolutely fabulous.

Can you mix old furniture with the style of today in a way that doesn't mimic the look of Grandma's house from back in the day?
The cliff notes answer: YES. Yes you can. You just need to know all the secrets.
Before we can learn how to style or incorporate vintage or antique furniture into a modern home, we first need to identify if it's a piece worth working with. What is it's potential? Is it perfect the way it is or is having it in your home bringing you down? Do you feel attachment to it in an unhealthy way and how can we break that attachment? What happens if the piece isn't perfect? Can it be saved or modified?
So many questions. So many answers. And this is only PART ONE!

Kids are back in school which means their summertime Daily 5 has come to an end. Today I'm chatting about what my Daily 5 summertime system is for my boys that allows me some freedom to get work done without hearing the dreaded, "MOOOOOM...can I have screen time? Now? What about now?"
I chat about what worked well and what needed to be modified to run more efficiently. Then, I have a realization...
I have a Daily 5 too. It may look a little like self-care or self-love, but it's been in my life before those buzz words were. My Daily 5 leads into a Weekly 5 - these things, when done as a habit help me be the best possible version of myself that I can be. Do you have a Daily 5?

Cottagecore
Have you heard that term? It's relatively new to the home design community, but it's not a new concept. And if truth be told, it's not a home decorating style the way farmhouse is a style. Cottagecore...it's a lifestyle.
In this episode I share what elements define the cottagecore movement and chances are, you may already be living it. This is a teaching that I did within my Facebook community where I do a teaching weekly. I serve this community in a similar capacity as I would a paid community, but it's FREE!

Hey hey! Today we're identifying five things that could be making your room feel tired, outdated, boring, bland...I just threw those last two in. But, in all honesty, these five things COULD be making your home feel boring and bland. What are they? And more importantly, what DO I DO if I have one or more of these things going on in my home? You take action. Or not. But if you do, I direct you on the path you can go.
I mention three ways you can work with me:
1. Book a 45 minute call...all via zoom so you could literally be in Luxembourg while we chat.
2. Book a Room Edit...self-paced and implemented, but highly guided by me. Think of a Room Edit as a design hand-holding.
3. Join the 10 week Design 101 course! Yes! I'm guiding a small group of ladies through the journey of home design beginning to end in 10 weeks. Reserve your spot now by emailing me at: figandfarmathome@gmail.com

Quotes like "Home isn't a place, it's a feeling" or "There's no place like home" have become blasé quotes, but there's real meaning and truth to them if you dive a bit deeper. That's just what we're doing today - diving deep into why it's important to choose a feeling word as you move forward in home design. In truth, the feeling part is really what fig & farm (at home) is about. The pretty walls and knowing how to style a bookshelf is just icing on top of the proverbial cake. But the heart...there lies the real beauty.
