When we started designing our new kitchen, I had one non-negotiable: marble countertops. But choosing the right stone was only part of the process. In this post, I’m sharing what the process really looks like—and why working with the right team makes all the difference.

Lighting Pendants: Splurge // Save Sconces:Splurge // Save I splurged in my kitchen in a lot of places, but there are a few items I found great alternatives to that would not break the bank. Here are my fave alt finds. I love solid burnished brass and am a bit obsessive about how much I […]

People ask me all the time, “How do you know how to do all this stuff?” Whether I’m building a wall treatment, installing lighting, or reconfiguring a room layout, the short answer is: I’ve been doing it my whole life. The longer answer? It’s been a mix of early exposure, hands-on learning, a lot of […]

When the Perfect White… Isn’t In our last house, I used Benjamin Moore White Dove (OC-17) in eggshell throughout – I’m talking walls, trim, and ceilings (ok this was flat not eggshell). It was perfect: a not-to-bright, soft, slightly warm white that felt clean and neutral. It was stunning and worked with all my decor. […]

This is probably the most-asked question I’ve gotten in the last year:“Why did you sell your completely custom dream home… for a builder-grade one?”Totally fair question. We built our home in St. Louis from the ground up. It was 100% my design—from the architectural plans to the tiniest finishing detail. We had high-end everything. The […]

When we built our last home from the ground up, one of my favorite decisions we made was including a prep kitchen. And when we bought our current house—where the kitchen was already done—we didn’t skip a beat: we turned the oversized walk-in pantry into a prep kitchen of our own. It’s a little bit […]

When we moved into our builder-grade home in Georgia, the living room came with the usual suspects: a plain white MDF mantel and a shiny black granite hearth. Functional, but not very inspiring. In our last home, I had designed a stunning custom limestone fireplace that made the whole room feel elevated. I wanted that […]

When we bought our home, it was still in the framing stage—no drywall, no finishes. While the builder didn’t allow many customizations, I did manage to change the flooring to a lighter, more neutral tone. But for some reason, they wouldn’t let me change the stair stain color. The plan was to stain them a […]

Whenever someone asks me, “How would you describe your style?” I usually hesitate. Not because I don’t know—but because it’s still becoming. Right now, I’d say it’s rooted in earthy tones, natural textures, and warmth. It’s a little vintage, a little modern, layered and lived-in. It’s shifting, growing, and finding its rhythm in a new […]
