Ep80: When it comes to furnishing your home, it’s easy to get overwhelmed and wonder if everything has to match or if you should mix things up.  AND if you should mix things up, how do you do it so it doesn’t look like a hodgepodge of random furniture.  

I recommend mixing furniture because it makes your home feel more personal, more layered, and NOT like you bought the whole store display.  But there are some simple guidelines to do it right. 

In Part 3 of my 3-part furniture series, I’m walking you through what to mix, what to match, and the must-know tips that will help you pull your space together without second-guessing every piece.

Ep78: Have you ever walked into a furniture store or spent hours scrolling online, only to feel completely overwhelmed? Maybe you found something you loved, but then the price gave you sticker shock. Or worse—you finally made a decision, waited weeks (or months!) for delivery, and when it arrived… it didn’t fit, didn’t match, or just wasn’t what you expected.

If any of that sounds familiar, you are NOT alone. Buying furniture is one of the most frustrating parts of designing a home. With so many choices, it’s easy to feel stuck—or make mistakes that cost you time and money.

In today’s episode, which is part 1 of a 3-part series, we’re breaking down exactly why furniture shopping feels so overwhelming and the biggest mistakes you might be guilty of making. But here’s the good news: When you know what to look for, furniture shopping gets SO much easier.

Ep77: Ever walk into a brand-new home and think, “Wow... this is great, but it feels kind of...well... blah and generic?” If yes, you're not alone. Builder-grade homes are made to appeal to as many people as possible—neutral colors, standard finishes, and safe design choices. Which is fine… until you’re the one living in it and realizing it doesn’t feel like you at all. If you’ve ever moved into a home and thought, “How do I make this feel warm, lived-in, and like me?”—this episode is for you.

Ep76: Have you ever stared at a wall of paint swatches, feeling completely overwhelmed? Or have you ever painted a room, stepped back, and thought, “Wait… why does this look completely different than I expected?” Maybe it’s too dark, too washed out, or—somehow—looks purple when it’s supposed to be gray. If yes, know that you’re not alone. Choosing a paint color is one of the hardest decisions in home design. And I get it—what looks perfect in the store suddenly looks awful on your walls. Today, we’re breaking down why choosing paint is so tricky and how to make sure you get it right the first time.
