Hello, everyone! So we’re trying something new today…Nancy Meyers version:) We really love helping you create homes you love, and we’re always excited when we can improve how we do that. You may have heard them mention a design program called Say. It’s an interior design program that is both easy to use and powerful, and some of its AI features are very well done (not something I think is happening in most capabilities right now…). I am not someone who identifies herself as a tech-savvy person. I’m not useless, but I wouldn’t say that new technology comes naturally to…

My winter hibernation ended in mid-March, and this bear has woken up. January and February are famously dark and rainy here, and business is very slow, in the best of ways, so I have much-needed time to devote to care and maintenance in all aspects of my life. So here’s a little life update. I spent almost every night listening to audiobooks and podcasts, organizing and “taking inventory” of every single drawer and cupboard in the house (very happily, by the way). I went on several bonding trips to take care of my different friendship groups (and team!), we spent…

When the weather starts to feel lighter, I usually want meals that are warm but not heavy. That’s why I like making carrot lentil soup in spring. It feels fresh, simple, and still filling enough for dinner. The ingredients are easy to find, and the cooking process is straightforward.

You don’t need special equipment or hard-to-find ingredients. Just a pot, basic vegetables, and a little time. This easy carrot lentil soup works well for busy days because…

As a writer in the design field and occasional decorator, I get a lot of the same questions over and over again. “Where do I buy rugs?” “What’s your favorite paint color?” “Can I add metal finish?” And, for the purpose of today’s post, “How do I mix wood tones properly?” All of these questions are second nature to someone who lives and breathes this art, but I think there can be a lot of doubts and unknowns when you’re working on your own without any guidance.But as always, I’m still here to help you! First and foremost, let’s establish…
