Now THIS is what closet dreams are made of! ✨

Sure, I may not have enough clothes to fill up the space, but there's nothing a little shopping can't take care of. 😉

@studiomcgee is at it again, serving up to-die-for outdoor spaces! ☀️

I love everything about this scene, from the sleek in-ground pool to the grass-grid patio and neutral furniture.

Double tap if you'd love to spend your summer days right here. ❤️

A moment of silence for these G O R G E O U S floors! 🤭

My clients in Round Hill chose white oak for their floors and they could not be more perfect.

Stay tuned for more pics of the finished project. (Trust me, you won't want to miss it!)

In honor of International #SelfCareDay, I ask you:

Is there really anything better than a bath, a book, and some time for yourself?

(I think not!)

And it wouldn't be too hard to relax in a bathroom like this! 😍✨

If you're a parent of young children, it's easy to feel like they've taken over your house. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Toys can be found in every room...

Stacks of children's' books cover the coffee table...

Crayons, paper, stickers, glitter — you name it — litter the floor...

Sound familiar? 😬

If so, you might find yourself daydreaming about a house with a dedicated space for all things kid-related.

These playrooms are GOALS!

As an interior designer, I get these questions all

As an interior designer, I get these questions all the time...

"What's the perfect paint color for trim?"

"What's your go-to white for ceilings?"

"What paint finish is best for high-traffic areas?"

And while there are no hard-and-fast rules for paint choices, I do have a few recommendations:

👉 For ceilings choose a flat finish. It shows less imperfections and no weird light reflections.

👉 For walls, a matte finish is more of a wipeable flat. I don't typically suggest eggshell unless it's in a bathroom.

👉 For trim, satin is easy to clean and offers a touch of shine to offset the walls.

👉 For paint brands, I recommend Benjamin Moore or Sherwin-Williams because they both offer matte options.

Have more pressing paint questions?

Don't hesitate to reach out at any time!

Room Refresh! ✨ Books will always be the easies

Room Refresh! ✨

Books will always be the easiest way to fill space on shelves, tabletops, and mantles.

Don't worry if they're all different sizes and colors, that's the beauty of it!

In fact, I encourage you to showcase books that you actually love! 📚

Because that's what it's all about right?

Creating a home filled with things that bring you joy and happiness every day!

I'm about to let you in on a little interior design secret... 🤫

It's more than okay to mix and match styles in your home. In fact, I encourage it!

That's the beauty of design. Just take a look at these two pieces — so different yet they pair so well together.

Do you love combining styles in your home? Or do you prefer sticking to one aesthetic?

I live for a beautiful window treatment! 🙌

Meant to complement your windows while acting as a backdrop for your space, the right window treatments can truly be the perfect accessories for your home.

But with so many options to choose from, how do you know where to start?

Sometimes it takes a second opinion to look at your space and figure out what would work best for your style and your needs.

And that's where I come in! 😉

If you need help choosing window treatments or just want to talk through some options, give me a call or send me a DM today.
