Blog Post Highlight!
From Closet to Sanctuary: The Pear Tree Bathroom Transformation
This former walk-in closet is now a serene five-piece bath, and every inch was crafted with purpose. From reimagining the layout to refining every finish. We turned a tight space into a calming retreat that flows seamlessly with the rest of the home.
Peak the transformation and discover the design choices (and a few dream add-ins!) that made it sing.
Project Spotlight!
A home for the Next Chapter: Designing for Legacy, Connection & Aging in Place!
Some houses are just houses. And then there are homes that feel like a heartbeat, carrying the stories of their people and welcoming in new seasons of life.
This summer’s featured project holds a special place in our hearts. Our clients, a couple approaching retirement with a growing family, wanted more than just a renovation. They wanted a home that could hold their next chapter, rooted in legacy, comfort, and connection.
They found the one: a house with good bones and even better potential. We partnered with them from concept to renovation and final styling through our Full Casita service, and together we reimagined their space into a forever home.
Every detail was intentional; we layered in deeply personal touches like a restored photo from their first date and a custom gallery wall filled with loved ones. It’s a home now ready for slow mornings, big family dinners, and years of memories still to come.
This project is more than design; it’s about honoring what’s been built and making space for what’s still ahead.
Follow along on Instagram as we share the behind-the-scenes, design decisions, and the heart behind the home.
Cafesito Corner
Recently, we had the chance to put together a few specially curated gift baskets – and of course, we went local! One of our first stops was Justin Interiors, where we discovered some truly beautiful pieces. From unique decor to standout furniture, their collection offers something for every style and space.
We also stopped by Lala in Webster, a gem full of cute finds. Think jewelry, beauty products, clothing, and accessories – perfect for treating yourself or finding a thoughtful gift.
And because no outing is complete without coffee, we checked out Nourished, a smoothie & juice bar spot that’s perfect for fitness lovers and coffee fans alike. They specialize in protein coffee, smoothies, and other nutrient-packed drinks – and they even provide macro info on request. It’s definitely a must-visit!
As spring settles in and we begin to enjoy our time outdoors, we’re shifting focus to outdoor living. Keep an eye out for upcoming content featuring outdoor styling, family time, and the simple joy of being outside.
It’s easy to get caught up in what we can’t do – But what if we started with what we can? This season, we’re leaning into intention. Whether it’s decluttering, refreshing a corner of your home, or simply choosing things that support your goals, start surrounding yourself with elements that align with the life you’re building.
