The Art of the Holiday Table

November 7, 2022

The only mid-west fall I’ve seen was when I was 6-years old in Michigan and it was the tale end of it. We were spending Thanksgiving with my Aunt and uncle and their backyard felt like a magical land. Having come from the rocky mountains I was only used to aspen leaves but finding chestnuts and oak leaves made the season feel like a new world entirely. I remember going outside to collect as many fall things as[...]

Honoring The Dead On All Hallows Eve

October 31, 2022

I’ve never been one for Halloween. As a child I liked the costumed and the trick or treating but as I got older the holiday felt forced. It was a lot of skimpy costumes and drinking for no real reason. For some of you, this could be the breaking point of our relationship because I know how beloved this holiday is, but just hold on. A few years ago I learned more about Día de Muertos, or day of the dead and[...]

Bringing Nature Indoors

October 17, 2022

Limitations often create the greatest art. Through college and my early 20’s, I didn’t have much disposable income so buying new pillows, wreaths, or any form of holiday home decor wasn’t really an option. If I wanted to design a space that felt like home, I was going to have to get creative, and that almost always meant picking up some free home decor pieces from nature. Yes, the falling leaves, discard[...]

Art Prints Vs. Originals–What should you buy?

September 23, 2022

The number one thing I notice in a home is what's on their walls. Whether it's wallpaper, art or photographs, I'm seeing how a home owner designs their walls and shares who they are with what they display. As someone coming into their home it's rare that I would be able to tell you which art are prints and which art originals but that doesn't mean that there aren't certain pros and cons to you as the buyer. What[...]

Made To Last: Choosing To Design With Longevity In Mind

August 16, 2022

I have a new appreciation for early mornings. Not that I haven’t always loved them, but this summer has been hot. It’s my best time of day for clear-headedness and to set my intentions for the day. So the early mornings are a relief before the heat builds and the lethargy kicks in. I should also mention, that I live in a 2-story home with no air conditioning. Something we’re in the mix of trying to remedy.[...]

August’s Sturgeon Supermoon and What it Teaches Us

August 7, 2022

Thursday is the Sturgeon Supermoon. This simply means, it’s a full moon that will be as close to earth as it will be all year making it appear, super. The Sturgeon moon on the other hand means something a little bit more. Throughout history Native Americans and other indigenous people named the moons based on what was happening at that time of year. It became their own lunar clock. In the northern part of the U[...]

Color Theory: Choosing Colors For Your Home

July 28, 2022

Color is what gets me out of bed in morning. That might be seem like an exaggeration but really, the colors around you influence your mood. It's one of the principles of Feng Shui, after all. Which means, that choosing the colors in your room is an important decision but one that can bring so much more depth to your home than just simply sticking with beige and grey (although we can play with those colors too!)[...]
