Out of Office 🌊

I’m taking a little time away to be fully present on my family vacation and finding inspiration for my next few pieces! I’ll be checking and responding to texts and messages each morning, but replies may be slower than usual.

Thank you for your patience while I soak up some family time and salty air. 🤍

Deep rich teals, watery blues and bold blue-greens are one of those colour families that instantly bring depth into a space without feeling heavy. They’re rich and grounding, but still fresh enough to feel playful and creative at the same time.

This palette is full of those beautiful in-between shades… somewhere between teal blue and teal green depending on the light, the styling and what you pair them with.

Renfrew Blue brings that dramatic richness, Pressed Fern leans into those moody green undertones, while Homestead Blue adds softness and depth all at once. Then lighter shades like Heirloom and Azure help lift the palette and keep it feeling airy and balanced.

These colours work beautifully as a statement wall, on furniture, or simply as pops of colour layered into a neutral room. They’ve got that calming, cocooning feel while still making a space feel interesting.

Are you more drawn to the deeper dramatic teals… or the softer watery blue tones?

Happy Birthday to my sister 🤍

We’ve always been close, but this past year feels like we unlocked a whole new layer of our relationship, and I truly couldn’t love you more. Watching the way you’ve handled every challenge, every setback, and every unexpected turn with strength, grace, and determination has been inspiring in a way I can’t even fully put into words. Somehow, every hard thing just seems to shape you into an even stronger, kinder, better version of yourself.

Getting to walk beside you through your pregnancy journey has been such an honor. From the very beginning, I’ve loved every conversation, every update, every moment of excitement and anticipation. And now, I cannot wait to be there for the next beginning too 🤍

I’m so proud of you. So grateful for you. And so lucky you’re mine.

Happy Birthday. I love you endlessly.

The Sweet Pea Side Table 🌸

Soft curves, romantic details, and just enough vintage charm to make a room feel instantly cozy. This sweet little side table was hand-painted in a custom blend of Fusion Mineral Paint’s Limestone + Damask for the dreamiest warm neutral finish.

The floral shelf detail feels like finding a pressed flower tucked inside an old book 📖✨ Perfect beside a reading chair, in a bedroom corner, or styled between two accent chairs with a candle and your favorite summer read.

Sealed for durability and accented with Fusion’s Ageing Wax to bring out all those beautiful carved details and soft vintage character 🤍

One of a kind and full of cottage charm.

Sometimes a project just comes together in the prettiest way ✨

I gave this sweet little lamp a makeover using the Blushing Blooms transfer by Re·design with Prima, and I honestly can’t stop staring at it. The soft blush florals, the vintage feel, the cozy glow when it’s lit…she’s giving romantic cottage charm in the very best way 🌸

One of my favorite things about transfers is how they can completely transform something simple into a statement piece with so much personality.

Would you style this in a bedroom, reading nook, or cozy living room corner? 💕
