Ever since I was a little girl, I have been enamored with the idea of gift-giving. Seeing the look on someone’s face as they open up a wrapped package of something special simply puts a smile on my face and warms my heart!

My hope is that these stories inspire you to step out of your comfort zone, embrace the unknown, and let the world become your muse.

I used to believe that breathing new life into a space meant a complete overhaul. I’m talking big, expensive changes. Over time, I’ve learned that there are quick, easy ways to spruce up our surroundings…and it most certainly doesn’t have to break the bank!

Building a new house is an exciting endeavor that allows you to create your dream home from the ground up! And in case you’re wondering why I’m sharing so much about this topic (aside from the fact that I absolutely LOVE it), I’m actually in the process of building a new home myself! I’ve learned so much over the years about

As we enter the “back to school” season and begin to feel that cool, crisp Fall air (in some states), it’s the perfect time to imagine what could be possible for your small business in the months and years to come. While short and sweet, today's blog focuses on one of my favorite topics: selling wholesale.

So as summer comes to an end and we enter what is, for many, the “busy school year”, I want to equip you with everything you need to plan the perfect girls’ night! If you follow these few, simple steps, I promise you (and your gals) will be so delighted…and you’ll be thankful you took time to plan in advance!

Running a small business is an exhilarating journey! From the initial “a-ha” moment you may have had for what you dreamed of creating a business around, to the endless ups and downs that come along with being a small business owner, it's safe to say that the adventure is far from boring. As an entrepreneur myself, ’ve experienced this firsthand, and know that while the journey is beautiful and invigorating, it can also be confusing and depleting. 

We’ve all been there – staring at a shelf full of picture frames or rack of beautiful (but oh so different) area rugs, debating between design choices, and feeling overwhelmed by the decision-making process in general. As we’ve been unpacking more about the design process in general around here, you’ve likely heard me talk about this feeling of “overwhelm” which often leads to decision paralysis - and friend, that’s not where we want to be!

In today’s fast-paced world, “busyness” is praised and if we’re honest, we all seem to be running around like chickens with our heads cut off! From one calendar commitment to the next, we literally fill every minute on our calendar with productivity. While there’s nothing wrong with living a full, productive life, proactively choosing to slow down amidst the chaos has an endless list of benefits. From enhanced creativity, more peace, and improved moods to better overall well-being, the list truly goes on and on.

It’s easy for me to look around during these adventures and feel immense gratitude. Not to sound cliche, but these are truly the days I dreamed of as a young girl, an early adult…and even now I am still dreaming of all the exciting things ahead. I don’t take the opportunity to travel and explore the world for granted, and will always be a big believer in the power of travel! Read more about why I think it's so important here.

Did you know - Vitiligo Awareness Day is this month on June 25!? In fact, the entire month of June has been dedicated to bringing global awareness to Vitiligo. But wait - maybe you’re wondering…what even is vitiligo!?

But then…

You open Pinterest - and it’s option OVERLOAD. You get a text from 3 different friends - and there are a LOT of opinions. You remember an idea you had for a bold piece of artwork - but think it’s probably “too much”

My love for travel runs deep and I will travel with family, a bunch of friends, or alone! It’s a huge part of my inspiration and it fills me up with creativity!

Design choices can be nothing short of tricky – but remember, as long as a space feels like YOU, you are doing a great job!

Our conversation (and the ideas I came up with to inspire her) got me thinking about how often others may enter into a season of needing to decorate walls in a temporary or budget-friendly way.

I’m thinking about people who are…
