I love wreathes.  Period.  I like to make them, I like to add flowers to them, and I like to customize them for gifts for friends.  They are an easy piece of wall art to put anywhere in the home.  Recently I decided to change up some wall décor in my own home and bought four good-sized wreaths on magnoliamarket.com (I love the Gaines!).  When I'm hanging anything on a wall I can be very picky and have to make sure it will flow throughout the house.  It takes me awhile for my own home anyway to decide what will go up.  I ended up hanging a big wreath over my couch and then two entering my room.  The three images below are of wreaths that I gifted to friends.  Moral of the story here, I don’t think you can go wrong with wreathes whether you are looking to spice up your own décor, or just have some fun making gifts for friends and family!

I would love to host a holiday at my home, it has always been something I think about when the holidays come around.  That’s what gave me the idea to offer holiday planning as a part of my interior design services.  Since my holidays are very quiet and low key, how wonderful would it be to be able to decorate for a client!  I can help absorb and divert that stress away from a client or even provide relief if they are the ones that want to host, but may not know where to start the process.  Plus shopping for the holidays is just plain fun!  I have never found myself stressed about it whatsoever, it has always proved to be nothing but pure joy! Contact me today so I can take care of the stresses of Holiday Planning and Décor, so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the holidays with your loved ones!

Consultations are important when beginning a project of any size.  When I meet with clients, the first thing I ask is what kind of style or overall look are you going for?  It's important to be on the same page from the very get go.  Lots of questions, patience, trust, and honesty is key in creating a feel that not only the client loves, but that captures the unique style of the designer as well.  This helps the designer deliver a room or space to the client that instantly feels like home.  Contact me to schedule a consultation so we can start designing your dream home today!

​When it comes time to sell your house, especially if you are selling it yourself (FSBO), it can become a bit overwhelming.  I had to make sure my house was spotless everyday so potential buyers would fall in love as soon as they walked in the door.  This picture represents the staging I did in my living room when we were selling our house in the summer of 2014.  I kept the wall art very simple as you can see.  The paint color I chose was a greige, which I felt was a very neutral tone for the room.  I didn’t need to remove a lot of personal things from this space because I kept the décor in this house very simple.  I moved the furniture to each side of the room to give it an open concept feel and make the room feel bigger.  It kind of goes without saying but this is one of those "treat it as if you were the person interested in buying" and create the first impression you want to make as the potential buyer of your home walks in the front door for the first time!
