Hello humans and thank you so much for joining me today. It’s been a long week for me personally and when I’m looking for a way to relax, I have a lot of options - drinking hot tea, stretching out on my yoga mat, watching a old move - but my go-to way to relax is by far an away taking a nice hot bath. I’ve always been a bathroom person - I love shopping for fun bath time accessories like bath bombs from lush, espom salts, scent candles, I go all out. For me, The bathroom is a special and sacred place, it needs to feel private, clean, & calm. I spend the majority of my mirror time in the bathroom, and if my surroundings look and feel good, I tend to absorb those vibes and feel more confident. If you’re thinking about dipping your toe into the world of renovation, starting with a bathroom can be a good way to get started. It’s a small, straightforward space that can be a great place to experiment with your style and with understanding the ins and outs of renovations. I remember when re-decorating the bathroom meant buying new a new set of sea shell shaped soap, getting a new color towel set and picking out a new boarder stencil for the wall. I aways went with an aquatic theme when given a choice in my bathroom. But today we’re going to talk about the anatomy of a bathroom renovation, and everything you’ll want to consider to craft a luxurious and detailed design - with some DIY ideas along the way. I’m going to walk you through all the elements you’ll need to design a sanctuary bathroom that helps you feel refreshed and revitalized - every single day.

Questions about budgets, house plants, and the classic futon!

We are talking about CHANGES in the design process - when you’re going down a path and you think you’ve got everything figured out, but suddenly you’re not so sure anymore - or something unforeseen happens. How do you go about making changes when you’ve worked together with an interior designer, if you’ve sat with the design for a few weeks and suddenly it doesn’t feel like such an awesome plan anymore.

Let’s talk about everything that goes bump in the night! If you are convinced your home haunted, here is a practical list to check off first - also great basic home upkeep things! https://www.terrapinbrightgreen.com/reports/14-patterns/ https://filmandfurniture.com/2017/11/kubricks-carpet-in-the-shining/

Have you ever wondered how Interior designers communicate their schemes and plans in a clear way? This episode reviews the different visuals, drawings, and approaches that allow you to understand how your space will look and feel before you’ve given the green light to start making it a reality - and how you can use these for your own DIY projects.

Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode! Today, I wanted to talk with you about a really cool painting technique that will make any room feel larger and is an affordable way to make your space feel modern and chic. You may have heard of the concept of contouring your face with make up, but have you heard of contouring your home? I love watching Make up tutorials on YouTube, there’s something so relaxing about it. I love watching creators like Jackie Aina. Nikki Tutorials, and Tati Westbrook blend out there eyeshadow for ten minutes straight. For me, its the modern day equivalent of watching Bob Ross paint Happy Little Trees on public televisin. One of the huge trends that all these YouTubers were taking about a couple years ago was face contouring. Contouring the technique of using makeup, typically foundation, bronzer, or highlight, in such a way as to accentuate or enhance the shape or structure of the face. This practice is actually quite historical, dating all the way back to 16th century, in Elizabethan theater - where actors would exaggerate their facial characteristics so that the audience all the way in the back could understand the emotions and facial expressions, and therefore understand what was going on in the play. What I realized one day when I was attempting to contour my own face, is that this concept is part of something bigger, and is used in many more ways than just make up. It’s literally how a oil painter gives life to an object. You can even think about the basic idea of using bold or italicized text to draw your eye to certain parts of a news article or email. It’s all the same concept. And we can do this in our interiors as well - in our homes, our offices - you may even notice it the next time youre in a hotel. I think that while many interior designers do this very intuitively and almost subconsciously- I really want to really break it down for you today, so that you can execute it as well. There are actually a few different ways to approach contouring a space, because unlike a human’s face, there are fewer set boundaries around what should be highlighted and what should recede. I’m going to talk about this mostly in the context of guiding you on what colors and where to paint walls and ceilings in your home to get this effect, but it can extend to furniture as well, and we’ll get into that a little bit. It’s all about connecting spaces- elongating, maximizing light, and creating contrast. Contrast shows up in our worlds often as well - I heard chef speak about what generally makes good food, and contrast is what its all about - when you think of the perfect french fry - it has crispy exterior with and almost creamy potato interior - and experiencing both of these textures in one single bite is what creates so much joy when we ate them. But conceptually, when it comes to design, contrast seems to scare many of us away- when I talk to clients I hear them describe there ideal spaces an minimal, neutral, relaxing, soft - and a room with contrast doesnt sound like any of those things. But think of this concept as almost like a first layer of a space, almost like the underwear of the space. And I’m going to talk about it with the dial turned up to ten just so we get all get a clear picture, and then I will explain how to bring it back down to your comfort zone.

We all end up shopping at IKEA, but what are the best items they have to offer, and what should you skip?

This open Q&A episode focuses on everything you’ve always wanted to know interior design, but were too afraid to ask. we get into money saving techniques, key design principles for any space, mixing materials, color scheme theory, and “wow” factor.

You’ll be surprised by all the ways you can set yourself up for success in a home office - interior design is here to help you maximize your productivity, comfort, AND your work/ life balance. https://ergoergo.com/ https://www.steelcase.com/products/office-chairs/gesture/ https://www.hon.com/ https://store.hermanmiller.com/office/office-chairs/eames-aluminum-group-management-chair/4548.html?lang=en_US
