Do you ever feel unsure or overwhelmed about where to start when pulling your home together? I’ve been there. Real life decorating is different from TV makeovers; most of us don’t have a team of stylists bringing in perfect pieces and fixing every flaw. Instead, creating a home is a gradual, thoughtful process that grows from what you already own and the things you collect over time.
Designing a real home is about creating a sanctuary, not a showpiece. It should reflect your family’s story through favorite colors, textures and patterns, mixing old and new in a way that feels personal and authentic.
When you bring the right elements together, your home becomes more than a collection of objects—it becomes a place that inspires you and that you truly love.
When we first moved into our craftsman house, I never imagined it would end up in a coffee table book. I’m so grateful it was included not because it’s a perfect model of design, but because it’s a real home filled with life.
Thank you for the encouragement and support you’ve shown me. Being part of this community brings me joy every day. I love sharing the ups and downs of creating a home and I’m thrilled the book will be released November 1st so you can hold it in your hands.
One little detail I can’t stop admiring are the shimmery rose-gold leaves on the cover. The way they catch the light is even lovelier in person—you really have to see it to appreciate the finish.
My hope is that as you turn the pages you’ll feel welcomed into my home and inspired to create a space you love. The book isn’t just a pretty photo collection—it’s filled with practical decorating tips, simple ideas, and encouragement for real homes.
You can preorder now and your copy will ship as soon as the book is released. Preorders help the publisher estimate demand, especially with many titles launching during the holiday season. If you’d like to support the book, consider preordering for yourself or as a gift, sharing with friends, or featuring it in your holiday recommendations.

I’ll be inviting readers to share their own inspired rooms in the coming weeks, so start thinking about a space you’d like to show—blog or no blog, everyone’s welcome.
