Interior Design Blog

So why is it that the most wonderful time of the year can also be the most stressful time of the year?!

It’s been a tough 18 months, to say the least! You are ready to spread your wings, freshen up your home and maybe donate the sofa that your grown up kiddo has been sleeping on for the last year.

So after moving to the desert a few months ago, we have a whole new respect for what’s hot! Walks before 8 am, swimming at night and booties on the dog kind of hot. For this blog we are going to talk about what’s been hot in the design world this summer.

If there has ever been a time when we value our homes and the space we live in, I’d say it’s now. For the past few months, we have been asked to stay home.

It's that magical time of year! Today I'm channeling my inner Oprah and sharing my top 10 favorite items for the holidays!

Have you ever noticed that each room in your house has an unspoken purpose? Dining rooms are to dine in, kitchens to cook in, bedrooms to sleep in…you get the point.

I am the first to embrace imperfection. I have lived in old houses, been man-down because we have four kids, and loved our fair share of rescue animals (although I would argue that they are all practically perfect!).
