Designing a home you love can be as simple as following these simple rules. But they might not be what you're expecting. In today's episode I'm challenging you to replace the word 'rules' with the word 'guidelines' so you can be free to create a home you love with the things that bring you joy...whether those things are dated or brand new.

Stuff. We all have it, but having too much can be a barrier to not only creating a home that you love, but to creating a home that serves you. Understanding what questions to ask so you can determine if stuff is getting in the way of your home happiness, is at the heart of this episode.

Teaching First Grade taught me many things and one lesson in particular was taught by a little boy Marshawn. Unbeknownst to him, my year teaching Marshawn has dramatically shaped the way I transition from the routines of a school year seamlessly into summertime freedom. If you have a child who struggles with change or self-managing their independent summer time, these systems and frameworks might be helpful for you. 

In home design and in life, asking yourself what's the worst that can happen can help you gauge the risk you're taking. Like in the airing of this podcast and the start of this new adventure. In today's episode I share the story that finally got me unstuck and free to ask the question "What's the worst that can happen?"

Home Decorating as a career was an evolution for me that started when I left my job as a First Grade Teacher to stay home with my infant son. Going from a dual income to a single income meant budget everything while at the same time going from working full time to staying home all day meant lots of down time and lots of time for noticing the four walls that had become all too familiar. Those walls needed a change and naptime was the time for changing them, but there wasn't much room for purchasing new things. This was when I learned the power of transformation through paint and how I started my journey of discovering that home decorating does not have to break the bank.
