It’s almost October…Fall is here!

No Comments

Fall is my absolute favorite time of year!

Fall is a great time to add those extra touches to make your home feel cozy and welcoming.

So how do I help clients do that?

-Spruce up the front porch with some faux or fresh pumpkins, a pretty flower pot arrangement and a fresh door mat.

-Style your entryway with some beautiful autumn tones. I love velvet pumpkins mixed with colored glass, metal and faux flowers. And don’t forget the twinkle lights.

-Layer your living room with cozy blankets and throw pillows perfect for a movie night at home.

-Add as many twinkle lights and candles as you can and you will be amazed how this makes you feel calmer and more relaxed.

-And don’t forget to organize your tea and coffee so you can grab a cup and curl up with a good book.

These things not only make your house feel better but you are ready for guests at a moments notice!

Happy New Year!

In January all we hear about is everyone setting big goals for the New Year?

But what if we take the pressure off and set some small goals that are an easy win?

The one thing I truly believe is that it is the little things that can make the biggest difference in our homes, closets and wardrobes.  What are some examples to make small changes that are super attainable?

-De clutter your drop zone area and set up a pretty tray or dish for keys.

-Add new throw pillows to your couch to refresh your living room.

-Add a lamp in a dark corner or buy fresh flowers.

-Make your bed everyday.

-Shop your closet and put together 3 outfits that are easy for grab and go.

-Follow the “one in one out” rule. You buy something and get rid of something. This will help keep your house manageable.

-Set up a donation bin or basket to make it easy.

-Tidy up your car… and the list goes on!

Plan ahead for the holiday season

No Comments

The holidays can get so busy and hectic and we can forget to stop and enjoy the little things. What if you planned ahead and alleviated some of that holiday stress? After all, it is the little details that make the holidays even more magical.

So what is one of  the most important things you can do to plan ahead and cross some things off your list now?

-First things first…Clear the cluttered surfaces and piles.

(I know this does not sound fun but I promise it will be worth it!)

Once you clear the clutter from the drop zones like the dining room table, kitchen island, entryway and  you stop using the guest room as a storage area then your home will be so much easier to maintain.

What are the benefits of a less cluttered home for the holidays?

-You can entertain at a moments notice.

-You are always ready for overnight guests.

-You don’t have to stress at the last minute.

-Your home is so much more fun to decorate for the holidays.

-Cleaning and tidying up is so much easier.

-You have time to spend with family and friends.

-You can spend more time on the fun details and magic of the holiday season.

Fall Outfit Inspiration

No Comments

Fall is my favorite season to style outfits because it is all about layering and accessorizing.

You can change the feel of an outfit in so many ways by shopping your own closet and creating multiple looks with pieces you already own.

Some of my favorite ways to elevate your outfit for Fall and Winter:

-Layer, layer and more layering

Layer a collared shirt under a sweater to add a more polished look.

Layer a cardigan or blazer over a simple colored top and finish it off with a fun scarf.

Layer multiple necklaces to create a necklace stack to bring interest to simple understated outfit.

-Color is my other favorite way to create a really fabulous outfit

If you think outside the box and create outfits with unexpected color combinations it immediately elevates the look and adds interest.

You can also take a very simple neutral outfit and pop some color and pattern with a scarf and shoes.

Could you use some help with your closet and putting outfits together? Feel free to reach out!

Fall is almost here…are you ready?

No Comments

Fall is my favorite time of year!

The weather cools off, the leaves start falling and I love the cozy feeling it all brings. If you start planning and getting your house organized now then you can have more time to enjoy the holidays.

Some ways to get ready for Fall:

-Swap out your closet and bring out your Fall and Winter pieces. Don’t forget to do a shoe swap as well!

Fall is all about layering in North Carolina so remember there are lots of pieces in your wardrobe that can be worn year round. Once you add those third pieces like cardigans and jackets then your wardrobe can be more versatile.

-De clutter to be ready for entertaining and guests.

Don’t stress at the last minute when you are hosting a party or having family come visit. Doing some reorganizing and creating household systems will make your house much easier to maintain.

-Add some cozy accents and accessories to make your house more calm and inviting.

Think throw pillows, blankets,cozy bedding,  candles and twinkle lights. All these accents can make such a difference in how your home feels.

-Create some go to outfits for Fall and Winter by shopping your closet.

Once you take inventory of what you have creating new outfits by shopping your closet is part of the fun. This will also help you make an intentional shopping list for any pieces you may be missing.

Custom creative project for my client

No Comments

I finally finished my client’s living room mantle after months of collecting all these colored glass pieces.

I would call this maximalist design. It might be too much for some people but it’s perfect for my client and I am so happy with how it turned out.

There is a story behind this…

It all started last year at Christmas  when I surprised my client with a new Christmas decorating theme to go with her newly redesigned colorful living room. I collected bottle brush trees in a rainbow of colors and scattered in some colored glass with battery powered twinkle lights.

Once it was time to take the Christmas decorations down my client said she was sad and didn’t want a mostly empty mantle.

I knew instantly what I wanted to do…

Creative projects like this that are custom tailored to my clients are my absolute favorite thing to do!

I love bringing a creative vision to life! Could your home use some creativity? I’m here to help!
