Can stepping out of your comfort zone with design choices actually enhance your home's allure? Welcome to Interior Design Diaries, where design meets real life stories, and each episode peels back the layers of creating spaces that truly feel like home. Today, you're in for a treat as we dive into the dynamic dance of transforming a house into a haven.


In this episode, I'm sitting down with my dear friend Annie Clougherty, a powerhouse in the real estate world. We reminisce about an unforgettable design journey during a pivotal time — the lockdowns of Covid-19. It was a challenge, but one filled with creativity, courage, and a touch of chaos, proving once again the magic that unfolds when you trust the process. Annie shares insights about the real estate market, the importance of investing in your home, and the serendipitous surprises that come with stepping out of your comfort zone.


Key Takeaways from Our Conversation:

▪️ Trust the process in design projects

▪️ Bold design choices often become favorites

▪️ Updated homes sell faster and for more money

▪️ Personal touches elevate a home to extraordinary
