As most of you know, I am an interior designer based out of Nashville, TN, now for over a decade – a woman running my own business, working out of my home, and managing the demands of family. It is my passion to create beauty not only in designing beautiful homes for others, but also delivering the same beauty to my family daily.

It’s no secret that I love decorating, cooking, entertaining, gardening, and DIY projects. I find joy and peace in most anything pertaining to making my house feel like a home - except the laundry. “Home” and all the beautiful things around it are the concepts that drive my work as an interior designer.

Becoming a wife to Beau and mother to Bowman and Collins has forever changed my perspectives as a woman with new roles and responsibilities. These “new” roles have reshaped my inner domestic homemaking skills, bringing fulfillment and joy to me but also, I hope, to my family and friends.

There’s an art to it all – running a home while making it beautiful. My wonderful friends have encouraged me to add narrative to what they see in person and in my Instagram posts. So here we go! This begins my creative journal – a place to share my journey in the art of homemaking, while also giving a few interior design tips along the way. I hope you enjoy it with me!

Below is a glimpse of the sort of things you will see around here . . .

Whether it’s a dinner party with friends or celebrating family birthdays - I absolutely love to host. I will give you my tips and ideas here!

Every room should have layers - antiquity and a fresh timeless approach to interiors is what makes a home chic and elegant. I will be showcasing my design schemes & current mood boards.

I’m an amateur gardener so I will be sharing my flower cutting garden and what to do in different months and seasons of the South. You’ll most likely get a glimpse of my Mother’s fabulous gardens - she is my mentor on this (and many things!) Arranging flowers is a form of art for me and I hope to inspire with these arrangements as well.

I’ll also be sharing peeks of past and present projects I’m working on - I have the best clients and love my job. It’s not always perfectly styled photoshoots - you’ll see behind the scenes of the construction, designing, shopping, and execution (installation days are the best part) !

The kitchen is really the heart of the home - and as a mother and wife I do a lot of cooking these days - it’s not always culinary meals at our house (frozen veggies & chicken nuggets anyone?) but I will be giving you my favorite recipes. Whether it’s a fun cake decorating tutorial, Ina Garten’s delicious Engagement Chicken (make it this week if you haven’t already) or my favorite scone recipe to go with your afternoon tea or breakfast!

As Charlotte Moss says, “setting the table is everyday decorating” and I couldn’t agree more. I love to lay a table and will share my monthly tablescapes here.

H O L I D A Y S

Who doesn’t love a holiday and a reason to decorate to make things special. I’m getting excited because holiday season is right around the corner!

You will definitely see little hands around here as I will be documenting some of our every day and our greatest joys in life!

Because it really is all about creating beautiful memories in a place filled with comfort and love for your family and friends.

I’m excited to share this journey with you.
