This podcast inspires REAL moms with REAL homes and REAL budgets to transform their houses into homes they love. You will learn affordable and practical decorating tips, tricks, DIY tutorials, and more. I teach home owners how break through the barrier of what’s keeping them stuck in their home design, while also encouraging them to tell their home’s story from within by living a life of intention with the people they share their home with. 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. Going from a dual income to a single income so I could stay home with my babies meant budget - like Ramen eating, Goodwill shopping budget and I learned a few things along the way: how to bring BIG style to your home without breaking the bank. And I’ve put it all together in this podcast so you know where to start, what to buy and where to hang it!
If you’re ready to break free from the Pinterest perfect trap and decorate your home with style by making confident decisions (all without taking out a second mortgage) - this podcast is for you!
So put down that sledgehammer, grab your paintbrush and let’s get started!

If I could go back and talk to my younger self as I eagerly anticipated decorating my first home do you know what I would say? "Take a deep breath and slow down." I would remind myself that decorating my home is the long game and that it doesn't have to be done in a month, nor does it have to cost all the money.
In today's episode I'm sharing the six things I wish I would have known about home decorating when I decorated my first home. Seven, if you count slowing down and taking a breather. Even if you aren't decorating your first home, these six ideas could help you as you continue to sit in decorating paralysis and indecision.
And, the best news...someone sweet talked me into extending my Cyber Monday deal and I said a BIG FAT YES cause I'm here for the changes you want to make in your home. I'm literally removing one of the barriers you've placed in the way of having a home you love coming home to. Now run...you have until December 5th to buy the course or start the conversation about a design service.

Chances are you may have already decorated for Christmas. Others however, are just getting started. So...where do home decorators shop for their Christmas decorations? That's the question on the table today, but the answer is a bit more nuanced than giving a big box store name and sending you on your merry way.
Holiday decorating, but especially Christmas decorating, is an opportunity for telling your family's story. Just think of all those ornaments on your Christmas tree...where they came from and what they remind you of are just two obvious connections to a sense of story. But digging a little deeper and I'm sure you may think of more.
In this episode I'm breaking it all down: my go-to places where I shop for ornaments, garland, sprigs of berries and more. And, spoiler alert...some of the sources are so inexpensive that saving money means you might finally be able to splurge for that personal Christmas gift you've been spying for ages!

On this day of thanks, Thanksgiving 2021, we're chatting about gratitude. What does it mean, truly, and why is it such a buzz word? Can you increase the amount of gratitude in your life and why would you?
Gratitude is the practice of being thankful. Gratitude, when given and received, increases dopamine - basically...it makes you feel happy. Gratitude begets gratitude. Simply put, the more you give, the happier you feel.
I give you three easy ways to start practicing gratitude today:
1. Start observing the little things that you are grateful for
2. Name those little things - and name them for someone else: your kids, your spouse, yourself in a journal
3. Be mindful of the company you keep, the conversations you have, the media you consume

So now...the choice is entirely up to you. Are you ready to make that investment? Are you ready to finally commit to creating a home that you love coming home to?

Pinterest is a mighty tool in home design! It's easy to navigate, easy to save ideas for later and WOW is it full of inspiration! Sometimes though, Pinterest can be used in a way that is less than helpful. Copying an inspiring image you found on Pinterest and replicating it in your home's design is one of those.
Today I'm giving you 5 reasons why you SHOULDN'T just copy an image you see on Pinterest. Yes, it may be beautiful. But you may be missing the mark and we're talking about why and what to do instead (in case you've already done just that!)
And...stick around to the very end. You're not going to want to miss the announcement. Hint, hint...if you're not already on my email list you're going to want to do that before Monday.

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.
You're motivated, you just don't know what to do. Book a Room Edit or email me to get started:
