How do I enjoy my outdoor space? 👉 I have a screen porch and I love to use it all times of the day.

☕️ Morning - I like to spend time out there by myself, enjoying coffee or meditation. It's a great place to start my day.

☀️ During the day - If I want a change of scenery and to step away from my home office, I'll take my laptop out there and work. It can be so peaceful.

🌠 In the evening - Sometimes I'll hang out in there with the family and sit on the couches to play a game, or my husband and I will sit in our chairs (we each have our own) and decompress.

There is something so special about having an outdoor space where we can feel like we're breaking away from the norm in our home. If designed right, you can really find that your outdoor spaces can bring you comfort, peace, and a place to spend time with some of your favorite people.

Quiet houses are hard to come by as a mom. There's

Quiet houses are hard to come by as a mom. There's always the sound of tiny feet running down the halls, dogs barking, video games that can't be played at a normal volume and of course kids who can't seem to find their inside voice 🤦🏼‍♀️

If it sounds like I just described your house, you're in good company. I also have a secret for you: it's possible to create a quiet space amidst a noisy house.

Here are a few simple ways to do so!

🤫 Create a literal quiet room. Make it crystal clear to the whole house that this space is designated for quiet and they can take their loudness somewhere else! (bonus points if it has a door)

🖍 Create a playroom/space for your kids on the lower level of your house. This helps manage those stomping footsteps above and bonus points again if it has a door! (Of course, this is for older children who can play by themselves)

☀️ Weather permitting, use your outdoor space! A comfy seat on the porch will do wonders ✨

💤 If you have littles at home this is harder to do so take full advantage of the naturally quiet times throughout the day such as nap time and bedtime. Make sure everything you need is ready to go in your space so that you don't waste half of your quiet time finding your things! Set aside a space and run to it when these quiet times happen.

💥 Bonus tip: good quality noise-canceling headphones will change your life.

How do moms do it all? Between kids, work, the hou

How do moms do it all? Between kids, work, the house, your marriage, and friendships when do we even breathe 🤪
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'll be the first to admit that I actually DON'T do it all, there's so much help behind the scenes! This looks different for every mom and every family but here are some things that help me delegate the load to help maintain my sanity.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
First up, I get my kids involved! I am slowly teaching them the responsibility of cleaning up after themselves and helping take care of the house. They are learning mom and dad won't do everything for them and they are a part of our team! Their room is where they have the most ownership, they are responsible for it's cleanliness and organization. This is a great first step to get your kids involved in!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Along with my kids, we also have a lovely lady who helps clean our house! She is a blessing and it is such a huge help to have a clean home to work in. Now dinner planning is where I struggle most so we utilize a meal delivery service. It is truly one of my least favorite things to do so I rely on @hellofresh to help take over that aspect of my life. Why make dinner harder than it needs to be?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Moms don't get caught up in this idea that you have to do it all to become successful. You deserve help and I promise it will help improve your life drastically!

It's important for me to pay attention to every detail from concept to final installation when working on a design project.
This is what you'll get when working together on a Full Service Design. Here is the process that you can expect:

📌 Discovery call: We'll ask questions and discuss your basic needs and briefly explain the design process and what the next steps are.
📌 Design Strategy Consultation: This is where we'll dive into project scope, budget, timeline, and project needs and questions. We'll also discuss how you want to use certain spaces, your style, and what inspires you!
📌 Planning & Concept Development: This is where it gets good! We'll grab some before pictures, take some measurements, and tackle a Style Questionnaire. Based on that we will then provide design drawings and start looking into sourcing products and materials for you.
📌 Construction & Renovation: Once you approve the designs, we'll place orders for your materials and products and start on the construction! Throughout the project, we'll review the budget and timelines and make sure it's looking exactly like you want it to.
📌 Client Reveal: Here's the fun part, you get the home of your dreams! You'll get the grand HGTV-style reveal as well as some after shots so you can show off your new home to all your friends on social media

Doesn't this sound like a dream?! If you're ready to get started click the link in my bio to visit my website! You can sign up for a discovery call there and start the Full Service Design process 🎉

Everyone always expects home renovations to be the most stressful thing EVER, but would you believe me if I told you my clients tell me it's fun? Or dare I say easy? 😱
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's true! The way I break down the process to my clients, how I provide options, the way we review their budget, and how to answer their questions makes it WAY easier than they imagined and we get to have fun in the process!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At the end, it's so rewarding to hear them say how much their home now feels like them. Any challenges we face seem insignificant once they see the whole picture and are living in a place that they truly love ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This month in my blog I shared about a home I recently worked on and had so much fun designing. Its details and unique characteristics truly made this family feel at home. Click the link in my bio to take a tour of this house through my blog!
