The good, the chaotic, and the projects in between. Room by room, as I get to them — what’s working, what I was wrong about, and the things I genuinely use.
I’m not a designer and this is not a showroom. It’s a house that people actually live in, which means there’s usually a laundry basket somewhere it shouldn’t be. If you came here for a magazine spread, this isn’t it.
Where to start
Every room starts with the question people actually ask me. Here they are, in the order I’m working through them.
- The Kitchen — how do you feed people on a weeknight when you’re exhausted and nobody wants what you made?
- The Living Room — how do you make a room look finished when you’re living in it and nothing ever is?
- The Bedroom — how do you share a bedroom with someone who sleeps completely differently than you do?
- The Bathroom — what do you do when the bathroom is the one room nobody in the house wants to be in?
- Organization — how do you start organizing when the mess is so big you’ve stopped noticing it?
- Projects — how do you finish one project when you’ve started six?
One small thing
While you’re here — if today is one of the days where nothing feels good and starting feels like too much, I made a one-page reset for exactly that. Three good things, a few prompts for the bad days, and one small thing for tomorrow. It’s free.
