Purge. But not too much.

January 15, 2019 · In: Interior design


MEDDE57D2939B0C441AA6EB76B35C00ED5E.jpg

The New Year has started with a bang, which is great because I get to be out and about with people I love and helping them find their way home, but it means I have been a bit quiet on the social media front. I apologize!

In the quiet moments in between the rush I have been thinking a lot about the method I use to create a styled home for the market. A lot of you have been telling me that you want to style your house for the market and live in it. Which is so funny because that is exactly what my clients tell me!

Not many of us have the stamina to pull a Marie Kondo style purge unless we are facing packing our stuff and schlepping it to the next place. Suddenly we all want to throw nearly everything we own out!

I have found over the years that most of us figure out what we really love pretty quickly when facing a move and start chucking out the rest. Even if you aren’t moving, consider more than your sock drawer and stacks of paper (as Marie Kondo would advise) and expand your thoughts to your entire space.

When you live with what you love, you will find your house becoming your home. It will inspire you more, relax you more, and even ignite a whole new you.

When I style a home for the market I use what is already present in the home or if the home is vacant, I create a look as though someone actually lives there. People love buying a home! Great energy shows life, care, and comfort.

This home still has a lot of things left in it, but it is full of life and a great example of how you could style your house for the market, or better yet, to live in! (the little girl’s room is heaven!)

Eeekkk!!! Guys!!! It’s BACK IN STOCK!!! Commen Eeekkk!!! Guys!!! It’s BACK IN STOCK!!! 

Comment TREE to get the link!!! 🎄 ✨ 

Sorry to break from fall for a minute but the Grand Duchess is BACK IN STOCK!! I waited a year to get mine last year and they sold out so fast that I couldn’t get more for our own home or projects so I already bought two more!! They are WORTH THE HYPE!! I’m tearing up just thinking about how pretty it is with the twinkling lights (& Jack is trying to convince me to put them up now! Haha!)

But seriously, this tree is 1/5 of the price of the designer versions and is truly exquisite!

Ok! I’ll stop talking so you can go get yours!  Yipppeeeee!!!!!

Comment SHOP to get the links & more styling hacks!! 

Guys! I’m so pumped! I love creating a living space meant to dine in and that’s what we’ve created here! It’s luxe, warm, inviting, smells incredible and gives a sense that you want to linger forever!

Oh, and did I mention that it’s loaded with budget friendly finds & styling hacks? We’ve used everything from dinnerware from Amazon to glassware from IKEA to little marble bowls loaded with little nuts & treats from @hmhome !! 

The baskets, hurricanes, and bowls overflowing with wood and pine cones definitely give a nod to the fall season as do the warm brown velvet curtains (another Amazon find!) 

The only question we have to answer is- what’s for dinner?!
