Cohesive living room, kitchen, and dining nook design blending traditional elements with eclectic touches and a European flair. Warm textures, classic details, and curated vintage pieces create a timeless yet personalized space.

DESIGNING MY OWN HOME

Welcome to my home! This space has become a creative outlet for me, inspired by our travels through Spain, Germany, Italy, and France. I’ve always been drawn to traditional design that feels warm, layered, and livable. I love mixing patterns, materials, and styles to create something that feels curated but still relaxed.

FAMILY FRIENDLY DESIGN

Our living spaces get a lot of use, especially with two toddler boys running around, so I design with durability and budget in mind. Nearly everything in this space is a mix of affordable finds from Facebook Marketplace, Amazon, Wayfair, and items I found on sale. Nothing is too precious, and everything is meant to be lived in.

BEAUTIFUL DESIGN DOESN’T HAVE TO BE EXPENSIVE

The way the natural light filters into this area makes it even more special. It’s where we gather, play, relax, and spend most of our time together as a family. Designing it has brought me so much joy, and I’m thrilled with how it came together.

This is a reminder that beautiful design doesn’t have to be expensive. It just has to work for your life and reflect what you love.
