Why Do We Have a Digital Community in Addition to Our “Day Jobs?”
When Teal and I first met the fall of 2022, we realized not only did we each have a steady client base, but we also had a steady stream of texts from friends constantly asking us interior design questions. It sparked an idea: How do we give everyone this advice at mass?
Our Favorite Bathroom Accessories
My favorite bathroom accessory is Clorox bleach and a rag but we are not allowed to use that anymore! I love a CLEAN bathroom with nothing on the counter. First and foremost, I design bathrooms so the tile and the cabinetry reflect the personality and practicality of the space. Whether it's a kids’ splash zone or a more elegant guest bathroom, when choosing accessories you have to make the same considerations. Accessories often pull the whole look together and allow for the space to function. A tray on a coffee table or hooks in the bathroom might provide the difference between usable and a missing a link.
Planning a Bathroom Remodel, Featuring: The Treehouse
Planning and executing a bathroom remodel takes a ton of energy time, and cost. But, WHY do you ask? Well, labor is involved and labor is not cheap. From tile to plumbing, and even electrical if you want heated floors or switches moved, you will need to hire labor. There are as many details in a bathroom remodel as you’d have a kitchen remodel, but it’s condensed to a small space. And let’s be honest, it also just takes time to figure out what you want it to look like in its new life!

Teal’s Home Art and Why She Chose It
Art is a crucial element in designing and styling a room as it completes the overall look and feel of the space. As a bonus, art has the power to make us feel “something” and uplift our mood. Like many of us, I used to feel intimidated by art, thinking it was expensive and unattainable. I wasn’t educated about types of art, artists, or style…bullocks to that! I have come to realize that art CAN be affordable and the way I connect to art is what makes it personal.

Staging Your Home to Sell
Selling your home is an emotional and stressful time. Not only does it encourage a clean out of all the drawers and closets so we look and feel more like we have our sh*t together but, it pushes us down memory lane. It forces us to do the one thing we wonder why we didn’t do a long time ago.
