I was talking with one of my favorite clients the other day. She is having a really hard time due to some health issues with her husband.
She is now in an expedited timeline to sell her house and move and she is in her 80s.
She is such a strong independent lady and I am constantly amazed by her strength with all she has gone through. But when I showed up for our appointment this was the first time in years I have seen her looking so lost and defeated.
We talked everything through and I assured her it was all going to work out. And then we discussed how she has been working with me for years and has always kept her smaller house neat and tidy with de -cluttering projects over the years.
This is what makes her situation WAY less overwhelming. The amount of stuff and decisions she has to make is still hard but manageable.
This really made me think about how important your home is during these difficult circumstances and life transitions.
Even doing small tasks to keep things tidy leads to much less overwhelm during stressful times.
Could you use some help?
I’m here to make things easier for you.
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.
Do you look at your home and wardrobe and think… something is missing? You just can’t put your finger on it.
I truly believe the key to elevating your style is to add accessories. Sometimes a space in your home needs a refresh but you don’t want to do a complete remodel. You CAN redesign and refresh your space on a budget by accessorizing.
You can completely change the look and vibe of a room by changing out the accessories.
Accessories add color, texture, pattern, depth and so much more.
For your home… Think throw pillows, curtains, rugs, decor, books, art, lighting, candles, plants and flowers.
For your wardrobe.. shop your closet and mix up your looks with jewelry, scarves, shoes, handbags, third layers and hats.
Questions to ask yourself when it comes to interior styling or creating outfits:
Are you not sure how to define your personal style?
Do you know what you like when you see it but have no idea how to put it together?
Do you struggle with how to combine colors and patterns?
I am here to help if you need it!

This is going to give me a headache. I cannot work in here and this is really not my style. We debated removing the wallpaper but the rest of the office had bold patterned wallpaper and I did not want her office to feel like it wasn’t even part of the same space. So we worked with the wallpaper and let me say it was definitely a design challenge. I needed to add some traditional elements to make the client happy and calm down the overall space. However, I wanted her office to still feel like it could flow with the rest of the other work spaces around her. I love the way it turned out and the client was happy which is the most important thing!
So what did we do to calm down the overall space?
Here are some of our design tricks and tips:
-We added some ivory into the color palette with chairs and a rug to soften things.
-We added some greenery and florals to add contrast against the busy wallpaper.
-We added a mirror to reflect light and the beautiful view.
-We added pops of teal with furniture and artwork so it still felt modern and bold and brought in the wallpaper.
-We chose a natural wood color for her desk so that she could keep the traditional feel she wanted.
