Come on in—I’m so glad you’re here.

This little corner of the internet is where I share the real-life journey of turning our builder-grade house into a layered, lived-in home with character and charm. You’ll find cozy room updates, Marketplace makeovers, styling ideas, favorite paint colors, and personal stories behind the pieces I love.

It’s not about perfection—it’s about making home feel like you. Let’s get inspired, take a few design risks, and move the furniture (again) just to see what happens.

the Heart of Effort
