How to Attempt to Become a Morning Person

New Year, New You: How to be Healthier in 2019
So much food...so many cocktails...so little exercise...Does this sound familiar? Because this is how I always feel after the holidays. But the good news? There is hope to feeling good again - so take the new year as a golden opportunity to hit the refresh button! Don’t set unrealistic resolutions or goals that you likely won’t be able to achieve. Instead, tell yourself that you are going to be better and each day is a new day!

Dream Home Inspiration: Kitchen
Since we are doing an open concept living/dining/kitchen, I wanted the kitchen to feel bright & airy as to compliment the rest of the large space. I did this by making sure there was a ton of natural light via several windows to really open up the space even more.


Moving from Seattle to Gig Harbor has been a breath of fresh air (literally). Life feels calmer, the community feels closer, and nature is right outside our doorstep. In this post, I’m sharing how the move has changed our family’s pace, how it’s inspired my design business, and why Gig Harbor, Tacoma, and the South Sound have completely stolen my heart.
