Up-Leveling Our Home in Thoughtful & Impactful Ways
I’ve been having so much fun giving little upgrades to our home. I’m learning so much, and it’s so fascinating how one small decor item can TRANSFORM a room.
Our house is a combo of higher end, female owned shops and more affordable items from places like Target. Just like my wardrobe, splurging on a higher ticket item that I can keep forever is easily balanced with a trendy, less expensive find, like a cute tee or pair of jeans.
As a Taurus, my home space means so much to me. We did what we could right away for the house, mostly the big pieces of furniture but then we ran out of budget. Now, almost two years later we are doing more aesthetic and exciting upgrades that I’ve been looking forward to since we moved in from adding beautiful, elevated wallpaper from Milton & King or an entryway light fixture from Lulu and Georgia.
From renting to owning
Not only was our last place a rental, but it was also very separated so moving from a smaller, rented loft-style home to a casita-style home created a beautiful canvas that fueled so many visions and magical creations.
I worked with amazing creators, women-founded small businesses and truly fantastic brands to bring my vision all together. I’m so honored & humbled to be able to share this with this community. If you have any questions, please let me know in the comments below!
Upgrades to Make a Major Impact
In owning a home, things will always be moving and transforming especially as our children grow and our work changes. We’re focused on creating an experience in each room. In each room I’m asking, “what experience do I envision happening? What emotions do I want to create?”
Our house was a flipped home when we purchased so although it was all brand new, the small details were definitely not the choices I would’ve made. For example, the pool bathroom and almost the entirety of the home were clean, white and modern. Recently I added Feather Palm Wallpaper from Milton & King and am over the moon about it! Such a difference it gives the room! It comes in several cool colors! We almost did pink but it was a bit too poppy for that room, def recommend getting samples first. The installation was so easy with no complication or extra steps needed.
We also added a 20 foot opening in the living room that we will be making payments on til I’m 92 but it’s completely transformed our living space and a complete game changer energetically. We always wanted an indoor outdoor feel, especially living in LA. Skye Walls by WWS was a PLEASURE to work with and the entire project was done ahead of schedule in less than 3 weeks.
This home has been so much more than I could have ever imagined. We are so excited to continue making this house into a home that our family will grow + evolve in. Hardcore manifesting works, my loves, AND a whole lot of hard work, grit and passion.
