The Dream Summer Starts Here

May 4, 2026 · In: Interior Design

Guys, I am SO excited to share these first looks at a Summer Refresh and… I think this might be one of my favorites yet! Every year when the seasons start to shift, I get that little flutter of excitement—you know the one—where you start eyeing every corner of the house, mentally swapping out pillows, dreaming up new vignettes, and asking yourself, “What if we changed THAT?” It’s the best feeling in the world!

This year though, we’re asking some bigger questions. Yes, we’re talking about new decor, fresh design moments, and even rethinking our favorite color palettes (hello, breezy whites, denim blues, weathered woods, and the prettiest coastal touches!)—but we’re ALSO asking what kind of summer we actually want to have. What does the dream summer look like? Long, lingering dinners outside? Slow mornings with coffee on the porch? A house full of laughter and people we love? Sandy feet, sun-kissed shoulders, and watermelon on the counter?

Because here’s the thing—decor isn’t the dream. The LIFE is the dream. The decor is simply how we make room for it.

So as we walk through these mood boards together (and oh, just wait until you see them all!), I want you to think bigger than throw pillows. Think about the summer you want to remember. Then let’s design a home that helps you live it.

I read the most amazing article about how BLACK is a grounding color, not just for a room but for us! I just felt like my life just made that much more sense!! I felt like screaming yeeessssss!!! (I did it inside! Ok, I let out a little yeah, baby!!) but seriously. BLACK. The one color that never goes out of style, is always chic, feels fabulous to wear & live it. God. It’s just SO good!!! 

Love you all and hope you are having the best day everrr! XxV

29 years ago… these were the days I used to dream 29 years ago… these were the days I used to dream of! 

Today is yesterday’s dream! (Or a lot of yesterdays ago!) haha I used to play this song and dream of all the days we’d have together and the life we’d make, ones filled with a home, a family, little mornings out, drives through quaint downtown streets, antiques shopping. It was never a flashy dream. A simple one that felt like the most beautiful thing I could imagine if I closed my eyes and dreamed up my wildest fantasies!
