never thought that I would become an avid gardener, especially considering my OCD aversion to wet dirt and mud. It used to make me want to run away, but then I started to realize the grounding benefits of gardening. Being in the garden helps me find peace and calmness, and I have now become completely hooked on it. Through trial and error, I’ve discovered a few key tools that I can’t live without.

Mixing and matching patterns and colors for bedding doesn’t need to be overwhelming! Chicken or the egg, do you decide on colors first, then bedding, or get bedding first, then colors?

When your teen daughter is on point with your fav movie director’s aesthetic ☝️. Way back when, during the pandemic, we first revamped this room to be the desert DIY Murphy bedroom; it served us so much purpose. It continues to do so, but now that Emy has officially taken over this room, we infused her style and aesthetics with more color and patterns, and texture.

Another Project Let There Be Light moment! Can you say BEAU-tiful? Adding skylights above the vanity floods the space with natural light, so much so that we had to add shades to the sky tunnels!! Our clients were thrilled with the outcome, especially the high-end feature of porcelain apron-front sinks that added a beautiful design element - something we’ve always wanted to do!

You may have seen this LED light hack before, but I found remote-controlled LED lights from @amazonhome that are small enough for narrow-necked sconces! With the help of Velcro and Mr. Meticulous’ patience, we finally have light for the DIY Murphy bed! Emily’s room is really coming along, and with another DIY hack coming up that I thought of myself, her teen room is complete! Stay tuned!

As a therapist turned designer, my approach to designing homes is rooted in the belief that the spaces we inhabit have a profound impact on our mental and emotional wellbeing. When it comes to designing a home, it’s not just about aesthetics - it’s about creating an environment that feels good and energizes you. Take a moment and think about the space in your home that you feel most at ease or productive. What space is that and WHY is that? Let me know in the comments!

Pro tip: Observe hotel design for small space living! Whenever I travel, one of my favorite things to do is to take in the design choices made by the hotel I’m staying in. Recently, I found myself in a tiny hotel room that was not only aesthetically pleasing but also incredibly efficient. Despite its small size, the room had everything I needed and more.

I’m still reminiscing about my recent trip to NYC with my sister! The last time we got a sister’s trip in was 2018! We took in all the sights, sounds, and food as much as we could. I don’t think I needed to eat for a week after that trip! 🤣 Most memorable moment was when she got to meet all my NYC friends and support system for the book dinner. Everyone in one room just made my heart beam! Everyone seemed to love her as much as I do!

That staircase - talk about a showstopper! Replacing an outdated design with something modern and sleek can really breathe new life into a home. Using white oak and black railings...? 🙌 It’s sleek and stylish without feeling too industrial, which is just what they were going for. But let’s not forget about the impact of natural light streaming in through those sun tunnels. It’s incredible how the right lighting can change the entire feel of a home. Have you ever wondered what your life would l

This teen bathroom project from #projectletherebelight turned out beautifully! I couldn’t be happier with the results, given the changes I suggested.. and how well the teen client trusted me to make them. ❤️

Designing a space with a teen isn’t easy! It took us a couple of years - yes, years!- to finally nail down something she liked. I firmly believe just like in therapy, the internal structure is the key to success! Whether it is trying to find your own identity or to relieve stress, having the right structure to support your goal is everything. Have you designed a space with a teen before? What was your experience?

If you’ve ever pulled into your driveway after a long day only to suddenly realize you’re there but you don’t recall the drive home, then you know the power of our brains to dip into autopilot mode.
