I offer that kind of guidance […]
There’s a quiet power in taking your time. In a world that encourages us to do everything faster — including how we decorate our homes — slow decorating offers something different. Something better. It’s not just about aesthetics. It’s about creating a home that truly feels like you — a space that supports your life, […]
— even if you’re renting, on a budget, or feeling overwhelmed A very common thing we designers often hear is, “I just want that wow effect.” And I completely get it. Of course we want to feel impressed by our space — to walk into a room and think yes, this is beautiful. But if […]
