Pastels probably aren’t what you think of when you imagine styling a living room, but this person is showing us why we should reconsider…maybe? Maybe it’s Barbie, but I’m kind of digging this Miami Vice vibe! What about you?

Who taught you about money? For many, financial literacy only began in adulthood. I chose to incorporate it both in my boys' curriculum and in our everyday tasks and lives. Read more on what it means and why it's so important to do at this age, in today's blog. https://lnkd.in/eyAEVfG8

Where did my babies go? This is 9 and 11, and I still can’t wrap my head around it! Have you been following us since my boys were tiny tots? I’m always amazed at how hard it is to see time pass in a way that’s different than when you’re judging it against a kid’s growth. Even my friends without kids shake their heads at how quickly they’re growing. Does anyone else experience this?

BOA from my lighting line with Savoy House is back in stock and ready to adorn your spaces!

A door is one of the first impressions you get of a home. Why not make it personal? I loved selecting colors, details and glass for each door to give them that customized feeling these families deserve. It’s just one more step towards making a house a home! Habitat for Humanity Renewal by Andersen

I adore Thompson Traders because they not only have lovely products; they also offer so many different finishes. I’ve been excited to lean into living finishes with my home. Brass that patinas over time is a favorite of mine. I find such beauty in the imperfections, but this can be polarizing. How about you? Do you love or hate living finishes?

I've never avoided tough topics with my boys, so when they grew old enough for "the money conversation" I jumped all the way in! Financial literacy is just as important to me as the rest of their education. We use several tools to learn about money and investing, and Robinhood is one of our favorites.

Being an interior designer apparently doesn’t get you much “clout” with your own kids. 🤔 It seems they think my pink garage was a questionable choice. But, mom privilege means some things I do simply because I can. That’s good enough for me!

Being a homeschool hybrid family has its perks. A good amount of the curriculum is left up to us. The kids get to pick a few classes and interests they would like to participate in, but some things are reserved for mom! My boys are both proving to be musically inclined—hence our music studio and custom DJ booth, but piano requires different skills. Mastering the instrument can be a bit of a struggle because progress is slow, but it’s so good for brain development. Making kids stick to things that aren’t always fun and helping them to find joy and peace in it are great lessons to instill. Now, I often catch one of them sitting down enjoying playing the keys at random moments. It’s definitely confirmation of my choices.

I’d be lying if the designer in me isn’t cringing just a tiny bit at the thought of messy, “style-challenged” teens living in my curated house in the future. 🥴 There IS a way around this dilemma, parents! Paint! A sophisticated shade with a few layers and textures can get us all through these phases. We can do it! I have faith in us! 😂
