Hey friend! 

1. Layout: the layout of your living room matters. If all furniture items are hanging out snuggly on the edge o the wall, can you pull them in closer to create a more cozy, intentional feeling in your living room? 

2. Weight: did you know that furniture carries a visual weight to it? Dark colors, overstuffed or oversized, hidden legs with skirting, deep wood tones are all examples of characteristics of heaviness within your room. Now imagine all of those heavy items sitting side by side with each other and what you get is a very heavy corner of the room. 

3. Area rug: do you have one - or a living room that looks like the furniture is floating? Is your area rug too small or too big (that's a thing, too). Choosing the right size and knowing how to use it to your room's advantage will instantly elevate your living room while adding coziness to it. 

4. Flat surfaces: taking stock of what's on your flat surfaces (mantles, coffee tables, bookshelves, tables) and reducing visual clutter or adding intentional styling, will immediately elevate your room. 

5. Textiles: curtains, pillows and throw blankets all play an important role in finishing a room. Are the curtains long enough or missing all together? If you have a very heavy couch, using lighter colored pillows can visually lighten the visual load. Throw blankets can immediately elevate or deflate the look and appearance of the room just with the lack of texture or the appearance of pattern. Choosing intentionally creates a room that can look cohesive and elevated. 

6. Ambient lighting: if using only the overhead lighting, try adding in some ambient lighting in the form of table lamps or floor lamps. Don't be afraid of sourcing these at thrift stores to save money. 

7. Artwork: chunky frames + matting + inexpensive artwork + consistent spacing on the wall create intentionality, nuance and elevation of your living room design.

Hey friend!

In today's episode I'm sharing an example of what's inside The Collective, my monthly membership that is designed to be an extension of the show. Each month we will have a LIVE q & a where you can get your questions answered - there are no questions too big, too small or too (ahem) stupid. 

The LIVE q & a is a chance to check in on the progress you're making within your home, to ask questions to get you unstuck, to help you make decisions - to ultimately give you the support and encouragement you need to continue decorating your home successfully. 

The Collective is open twice a year and will close its doors Sunday, September 22nd and won't re-open again until March. 

THE COLLECTIVE IS OPEN

thru SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2024

Hey friend! 

In today's episode I'm sharing an example of my secret to creating spaces that look refined, a bit more put together - like a designer was right there doing it for you! 

There is a difference between putting things on a shelf and styling decor items on a shelf / placing things on a mantle and styling items intentionally on a mantle. 

Inside The Collective, my monthly membership - I teach my simple styling formula. This formula can be used to style any flat surface and could be aptly named Finishing School. :) 

In today's episode I'm teaching Dee, a founding member of the membership, how to style her mantle. Dee, along with her husband Jim who helped hold the camera, were good sports as we experimented until it was just right - even good sports when the directions included, "Move that item a half inch to the left." 

When it comes to styling, details like a half inch matter...A LOT!

Hey friend! 

In today's episode I'm showcasing a perk found inside my monthly membership, The Collective. A Room Edit brings the designer's eye into your space giving you specific recommendations for elevating the room while honoring your goals and aesthetic. 

You'll hear a Room Edit created for member, Susan and her den. Until this point it was an incomplete room that she never used. It lacked inspiration, didn't feel cozy and felt like an incomplete project that would take her years to complete. 

You'll hear the specific recommendations (inside The Collective you'll see a video with the pictures to support what you hear on the podcast) to help her see the potential of that room. 

Members inside The Collective have the ability to request a Room Edit as two will be featured monthly. 

Susan took immediate action from her Room Edit - transforming her den into a room that she loves!

WHY IT WORKS

Hey friend!

If you've ever wondered why some gallery walls are structured differently than others and what makes one 'work' even though it seems to not follow any of the rules, this episode is for you. 

In this episode I'm sharing the two different types of gallery walls and the 'rules' to follow to create each one. I share insight into how gallery walls that look chaotic may actually be following a lot of unseen rules. 

This training is an example of WHY IT WORKS a series that lives inside The Collective, my monthly home decorating membership. The doors to The Collective are open TODAY thru SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 22nd!

Hey friend,

Pumpkin spice lattes are out, the leaves are turning colors and it's time to start thinking about pulling out your box of fall decorations to get your homes fall ready. But BEFORE you do that and BEFORE you run to Target to see what's new for the season and bring home the items you just couldn't live without, I want you to consider your feelings. 

In this episode I'm sharing my two most effective gatekeepers or filters for helping me choose items intentionally for my decorating in general, but fall specifically as we are in the midst of changing seasons. 

This strategy can be used for any season, any holiday or your decorating in general. 

Grab a notebook and a pen because you're going to want to take notes.

Hey friend! 

If you missed last week, where we elevated the look of our bathroom, go back and listen to episode #269.

Remember...BIG change doesn't have to cost a lot and in today's episode I'm sharing how actually, the BIGGEST change you can make in your kitchen is actually FREE. Zero money. Zero dollars. Zilch. 

So when it comes time to spend the $500, think about intentionality with the items you have living on the kitchen counters. Corraling them into functional vignettes while keeping negative space on your countertops will dramatically create an impact worth replicating.

Hey friend!

Have you heard the trending phrase on social media "demure and mindful?" It's popping up everywhere and even my 13 year old son has taken notice (and he doesn't have social media). So it got me wondering...what in the world is everyone talking about? 

As I looked into 'demure' and what it meant versus what I thought it meant, I also noticed that there's a very similar word with quite the opposite meaning: 'demur.' If creating a home that is demure is your goal, you don't want to get the two confused. :) 

If you're wanting to create a demure look and feel in your home, you can start with these 8 things: 

2. Use light wood tones: white oak or natural immediately come to mind. Don't have that? Try a painting technique instead of throwing out your cherry entryway table. 

3. Brass or Champagne gold metals. The goal here is minimal contrast - so avoid bronze, flat matte black at all costs. 

4. Remove the chaos, the clutter, the extras...on EVERY surface. Demure homes resemble minimal homes. 

5. Quality of furniture matters, but not in a flashy way. Demure homes are quiet and respectful - not pretentious. 

6. Consider the weight of objects in your home. Demure homes are opposite of heavy - they're light and airy. 

7. The scent matters: choose subtle scents with no dominant identifiers that indicate what it is. No pumpkin spice, lavender, even vanilla. The more benign, but delicious, the better. 

8. Consider the background sound as well as the scent. Demure homes are not loud, flashy or calling attention to themselves. Turn down Alexa playing the latest Jellyroll song (not my style anyway) and opt for instrumental playing at a volume 2 - audible, but only as a faint whisper.

Hey friend! 

So, you're ready for a re-fresh in your bathroom. You have $500 to spend and you CAN'T WAIT to go shop the sales so you can get the biggest bang for your buck. 

I know you know how to get the biggest bang for your buck...you do it when you're shopping for a car, clothes, even groceries. You can definitely score some sale items for home decor too. 

Thinking about WHAT changes to make in your home (in today's case, the bathroom) that will bring about the 'WOW' factor, the 'I wish I would have done this sooner' statement, the 'I didn't know I could make so many changes with so little money' realization. 

And THAT'S what we're talking about today on the show. 

Can you make BIG IMPACT CHANGE in your bathroom for only $500? YUP...sure can! 

Want even more tips for creating a home you LOVE?...
