Everything I Loved: March Edition
March was a crazy busy month but I guess that’s what I get for taking off half of February. I was in full cheer-mom mode and we got hit with a spring sports schedule like never before. Hello, three softball teams, five cheer competitions, the largest PTA fundraiser of the year and of course, client installs, photoshoots, and elevating the business. March was wild but here is a glimpse at the moments that made me the happiest - even if I looked like I was drowning!
Sourcing Corner: Wallpaper Moments
Wallpaper is one of my favorite layers of a project. It’s a single design decision that truly transforms a space from one dimensional to showstopping. Wallpaper works in so many different spaces of a home too - think a powder bathroom to wow guests, a kid’s bedroom to create a playful moment, a dining room to make a statement - the options are endless!
