We love a good laundry room! 🤍

Sometimes they’re spacious, sometimes they’re a hardworking pass-through from the garage, and sometimes they’re tucked neatly behind closet doors.

No matter the size, we love finding ways to make laundry rooms as efficient, functional, and pretty as possible. Thoughtful storage, durable finishes, good lighting, and a little personality can turn even the smallest laundry space into one that works beautifully.

Because even the most hardworking rooms in the house deserve a little design love!

Timeless design starts with honoring the home.

For this kitchen remodel, we wanted the new space to feel completely at home within the character of this 1920s house. Every detail—from the simple shaker cabinetry and soft green and white palette to the layout, farmhouse sink, lighting and traditional hardware—was thoughtfully selected to complement the home’s history.

The result is a kitchen that feels fresh and functional, yet as though it could have always belonged here.

Because a successful remodel doesn’t have to erase the past. Sometimes the best design simply gives it new life. 🤍

This darling kitchen is tucked inside a DADU designed as a welcoming rental for traveling nurses. Light, airy finishes help the small space feel larger while drawing your eye toward the beautiful lake view below. It may be compact, but this kitchen offers big function, thoughtful details, and plenty of charm!

This bathroom remodel was such a delight to design! My client was wonderfully open to the ideas I presented, which gave us the opportunity to have a little fun with pattern and personality.

While it’s not a large bathroom, it serves a big purpose—welcoming both kids and guests. We kept the space light and bright, then mixed and matched playful patterns to give it character without overwhelming the room.

The result? Fresh, functional, fun—and we think it’s absolutely delightful!

This tiny ¾ bath proves that small spaces can still have big personality! 💚

To make the most of every inch in this ADU bathroom, we removed the traditional swing door and replaced it with a space-saving barn door. And because the rest of the space is intentionally neutral, we decided the door deserved a little fun.

Enter Sherwin-Williams Broccoflower—a fresh, happy green that adds just the right pop of color. Sometimes one unexpected design choice is all a small space needs!

Would you add a colorful door to your home?

Same kitchen layout, completely transformed. ✨

Custom cabinetry allowed us to make better use of every inch, while creating an island the clients can truly enjoy—perfect for gathering, prepping, and everyday living.

A great reminder that you don’t always have to change the footprint to completely change how a kitchen looks, feels, and functions.

I’m often asked by prospective clients, “What’s your design style?”

My answer? I design for YOU.

Together, we’ll discover the style that fits you—your home, your goals, the way you live, and your budget.

Colorful? We can do that.
Serene and calming? Absolutely.
Traditional? Yes!
Modern, collected, classic, or somewhere in between? Let’s find what feels like you.

Through our design process, we help clients uncover their personal style—and then we gently nudge them just enough to step outside their comfort zone. Because some of my favorite words to hear at the end of a project are:

“I would have never thought of that without you!”

That’s where the magic of working with a designer happens: creating a space that feels completely like you… but perhaps even better than you imagined.

What’s in your dream kitchen or bathroom?
We’d love to help you make it a reality.

Still giddy over having two projects featured in—and on the covers of—Snohomish Lifestyle and KBB Magazine this year! ✨

Two kitchen remodels we’re so proud of, and such a fun reminder that great design truly is a team effort. So much collaboration, coordination, craftsmanship, and attention to detail goes into bringing these spaces to life.

Grateful for the wonderful clients, colleagues, contractors, and vendors who make it all happen. ❤️

This pretty primary bathroom remodel is fresh, fun, and full of thoughtful details. While it’s not a large space, we made every inch work—creating an efficient layout with a subtle nod toward aging in place, without sacrificing style.

A beautiful reminder that good design can be both functional and fun!

We still love this serene primary bathroom we had the pleasure of designing in Las Vegas. 🤍

I first met with these clients—who are also friends—while I was in Las Vegas for KBIS. From there, we completed the design virtually, working with their fabulous local contractors to bring everything together.

And once it was finished, my photographer, Gary Bazzell studios, made the trip down to capture it beautifully.

Soft tones, subtle texture, and thoughtful details give this space such a calm, spa-like feel. Proof that great design can happen from anywhere!
