It's that time of year — out with the heavy coats, in with the swim goggles. 🏊‍♀️

If you live in an older home without a front hall closet (it's more common than you think!), a hall tree is genuinely one of the hardest working pieces of furniture you can own. I have one and I just decided to empty it to transition to the warmer weather — the amount of stuff it holds is honestly impressive. Also mildly alarming.

Swipe to see the evidence.

This is the perfect moment to do a seasonal reset — sort what you actually need (donate the rest), box up winter gear, and set yourself up for spring and summer. Your future self grabbing an organized pool bag on the way out the door will thank you.

"8 Design Trends Designers Think Are Finally Back in 2026" just dropped, and my portfolio called — it wants credit!

This is a great article (I agree with all these!) and here are highlights of four that I've been living by for a while now:

🌿 Wallpaper — Floor-to-ceiling botanical wallpaper in a guest bath.
☀️ Earthy Warm Minimalism — White oak cabinetry, clean lines, warm wood floors, and a stunning painting waiting for you at the end of the kitchen.
🪵 Wood Paneling — Slat wall + bold landscape art = a moment. This is not your grandmother's wood paneling.
💡 Statement Lighting — That fluted pedestal dining table deserved a pendant that could keep up. This fixture does not disappoint.

Neutral base. Rich wood tones. A kuba cloth on the wall and a tufted leather ottoman that somehow ties it all together. This family room was all about layering collected pieces with intentional design — two walnut shelving units flanking the room like old friends, a creamy sectional anchoring the center, and just enough pattern and texture to keep things interesting without tipping into chaos.

The goal was a space that feels like it was gathered over time, not ordered from a single catalog on a Tuesday afternoon. Stay tuned — there's another room in this house that's just as good.
