I’m so grateful for the weather we’ve been getting in sunny California, but I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, so I know firsthand how painful a slow start to spring can be!

As we’ve gotten used to the new layout, each family member is finding their own rhythm in the kitchen—and their own favorite features. 

As an interior designer with a background as a therapist, I have always wanted to inspire people to feel safe in their spaces. But getting to a place of safety means speaking up, setting boundaries and seeking change.

VELUX skylights were the perfect solution to bring natural light into the center of a large space. Being in this room almost feels like being in the open air, especially when the skylights are open.

Sod is easily the best way to get gorgeous, green lawns. While seeding your yard can take years and come out patchy as the growing grass competes with weeds and soil erosion, sod offers instant, healthy results that last for years.

I LOVE white upholstered furniture because it always looks so fresh! I tend to get tired of color and pattern, but I never, ever get tired of white. It’s the perfect blank canvas for all our thoughts and ideas! 

Integrating the Family Command Center into our home’s existing style was so important to me. If a solution isn’t beautiful or joy-inducing, it’s less likely the system will stick. So we adapted a Pinterest classic to work for our family’s aesthetic!

I’m a HUGE advocate for skylights. The VELUX Skylight we installed has flooded our Desert Bathroom in natural light, so it’s hard not to start the day in a good mood!
