Valentine's Day is fast approaching...do YOU decorate for it?
Today's question comes from Jessica - she's hosting a Galentine's party and wants to decorate subtly without her home looking like it has exploded in hearts and sprinkles! She is wondering how she can bring in Valentine's Day decor in an age-appropriate way?
Approaching any holiday or season through the senses, shopping the house and using food are some of the tips I give Jessica. Creating vignettes, styling flat surfaces using LDHTR (layers, depth, height, texture and repetition) and setting a beautiful table will help make her Galentine's party come together seamlessly.
Do YOU want to learn how to style vignettes like mantels, tables, credenzas, entry tables, bookshelves? Access my Bookshelf Style Guide that teaches the foundations of styling through (LDHTR) here: https://bit.ly/bookstyleguide

"My house looks stupid!" No one should ever say that or feel that way about their home, but that's exactly what Aimee said when she contacted me.
A Room Edit is a designer's eye on your space identifying the parts of the room that don't quite feel right, as well as the parts that do - and steering you in the direction that you, the homeowner, want to go. You don't mind doing the work, in fact you WANT to do the work...you just don't know what to do.
This episode is for you, a fly on the wall, as I walk Aimee through two rooms of her home instructing her on changes that she could make in order to achieve the look that she'd like. I share tips, tricks, product sources, general rules of thumb, and SO much more that you'll WANT to get out a notebook, a pen and a tub of popcorn as you listen to this room re-shaping take place.

In 2022, shopping on-line for things has become the status-quo, but when it comes time to shop for a couch, Michelle didn't want to buy her couch without testing it out in person.
In today's Quick Tip, we chat about tips for making her in-store couch shopping experience efficient, productive and successful, but we do it starting with a little on-line homework!
I teach Michelle the steps I would use to first identify the purpose of the room she's placing the couch in, navigating its size using materials she has around her home and using Pinterest to understand her aesthetic.
