Blue Day 2

Memorial Day—every day ❤️🇺🇸

There are moments you don’t plan for.

When we built our home in 2016, we talked about wide hallways, clearances, and flow…

But we didn’t know those choices would one day hold someone we love in the middle of something this big.

My brother-in-law is here with us—
6 hours from his home, his kids—navigating an intense, months-long process just to qualify for a groundbreaking CAR-T study for multiple sclerosis.

Today, he receives his infusion.

And we’re standing in the in-between…
grateful, hopeful, and unsure of what comes next.

What I do know is this:

Design matters in ways you don’t fully understand…until you do.

The ramps.
The space to move.
The independence to make a smoothie, to enter a home, to be part of everyday life.

This is what accessible, universal design really means.

Not someday.
Not “just in case.”
But for real life—now and the days ahead.

If your family has been touched by MS, we are praying this is a step toward something bigger. 🤍

And I’ll keep sharing, designing, and advocating—
so more homes can hold moments like this.

Stay tuned for his documentary. His story is still being written.

Most people don’t realize this until it’s too late…

Your countertop finish impacts:
• how you function
• how your lighting feels
• how much wear you actually SEE

We almost chose polished… and I’m so glad we didn’t.

If you’re building or renovating, this is one decision you don’t want to rush.

I’m sending out my full countertop guide (with mistakes + money-saving tips) in April.
