Ep79: Welcome to Part 2 of my 3-part furniture series. Today, we’re diving into the ultimate living room debate: Sectional vs. Sofa.
If you’ve ever wondered which one is better—or why making this decision feels weirdly high-stakes—you’re not alone. I’ll walk you through the pros, cons, design considerations, and some surprising things that might sway your decision one way or the other.
Whether you're team sectional or team sofa,...
Ep78: Have you ever walked into a furniture store or spent hours scrolling online, only to feel completely overwhelmed? Maybe you found something you loved, but then the price gave you sticker shock. Or worse—you finally made a decision, waited weeks (or months!) for delivery, and when it arrived… it didn’t fit, didn’t match, or just wasn’t what you expected.
If any of that sounds familiar, you are NOT alone. Buying furniture i...
Ep77: Ever walk into a brand-new home and think, “Wow... this is great, but it feels kind of...well... blah and generic?” If yes, you're not alone.

Which is fine… until you’re the one living in it and realizing it doesn’t feel like you at all. If you’ve ever moved into a home and thought, “How do I m...
Ep76: Have you ever stared at a wall of paint swatches, feeling completely overwhelmed? Or have you ever painted a room, stepped back, and thought, “Wait… why does this look completely different than I expected?” Maybe it’s too dark, too washed out, or—somehow—looks purple when it’s supposed to be gray. If yes, know that you’re not alone. Choosing a paint color is one of the hardest decisions in home design. And I get it—what looks...

I’ll share what to use, how to style them, and how to avoid common accessory mistakes. We’ll also talk...
Ep74: Moving into a new home is exciting but can also feel overwhelming. There’s so much to unpack—literally and figuratively—and the urge to make it feel “done” as quickly as possible can lead to rushed decisions and design regrets.
In this episode, we’re talking about the challenges you might not expect and the best approach for decorating your "new to you" space.

You might be surprised to hear that furnishing and decorating a smaller space can actually be harder than furnishing and decorating a larger space. Sounds backwards, right?

So keep listening to hear all about furnishing small spaces and how to get it r...
One of the biggest complaints that I hear as an interior designer from potential clients and students is that their home doesn’t look or feel put-together.

AND designing and decorating it is going to be way harder than it needs to be. Keep listening to ...
