Tucked in the middle of never ending olive trees in Southern Italy, we stayed at the most magical place. Masseria Corto Degli Aromi is a hidden gem with only seven rooms. Messy Italian gardens, limestone for days, delicious food, and every suite has its own pool, sauna and Turkish bath. Literally heaven on earth. 💫

Selecting floors is a daunting task for any new build or remodel. If you can make that decision early, it’s nice to pull the design together from the ground up. These floors will help dictate things like cabinet finishes, wall paint and even metals!
We went with French Oak flooring for our home. Not too light, not too dark, a little “Misty grey” in there. It was love at first site for me with 9.5” wide planks and the description says they were inspired by European castles and chateaus. SOLD🤪 Kosta is pretty cool and rolls with my vision (husbands take note!) I always keep him in mind, of course. Ruby also is pretty cool, and I caught the brown dog that turned grey herself, taking a nap on the floor sample today, which inspired this lengthy post. Anyway, floors were ordered a few weeks ago and they should arrive sometime in July. Check that off the list! ✔️✔️✔️

One of the trickiest decisions when building a home is selecting metal finishes for things like plumbing, hardware, and lighting. In our house we are mixing polished nickel plumbing with forged iron door and cabinet hardware. We want the house to feel timeless and it’s really just what I’m drawn to. I’ll add some hints of brass in the form of lighting fixtures, but the majority of our plumbing is polished nickel from this One Collection. I am a big fan of “living” finishes like Unlacquered Brass, Bronze and Polished Nickel that will Patina and grow character over time.
Head over to and check out their Owl House featuring this plumbing collection and more beauty.

Anyone have a project or home build delayed because of windows? How about people moving in without garage doors?? I’ve got a few coming along, but boy is it not a fun time to build a home! You really have to pay attention snd get ahead of the lead times which means ordering way earlier than usual. It’s a slippery slope!
I’m not sure if we’re brave or stupid for building right now 🤷🏻‍♀️ We’ve got a framing walk through this week and these renderings will help the framers big time. I use soffits to bring the ceiling height down. Sometimes 10’ can feel really cold and I work hard to try to avoid that.

Moving dirt with .. just in time for a fresh new year! 2021 personally showed Kosta and I how strong we can be. It reminded us that things may not always go our way, but the sun will always come up the next day (even if it’s covered by clouds and rain so you can’t enjoy it and have low Vitamin D). Through it all we’ve got each other. As we start this process I am reminded that the fact of the matter is, whether your home is big or small, new or old, it’s what’s on the inside that matters most… (cc Deepak Chopra on abundance). Connecting the dots going forward is nearly impossible, but when you look backward it makes perfect sense. Now let’s build a house.

lighting edition. Future “Laid back European” kitchen/dining in the works for 2022. I’m very into casual dining off of the kitchen versus formal and separate. I still like a designated dining space as opposed to completely open, so to me personally, this is a nice alternative. And who doesn’t love dining in a room of windows?

This century-old oak tree sits in our future back yard. It has a sister tree (not pictured) and when Kosta and I first set eyes on them we were in awe. I can’t really describe it, but I think about what they have been through, the birds that have nested in them, the storms and droughts they have weathered.
The Oregon White Oak is a protected tree and can live to be 500 years old (way after we are gone). So far in this process, meeting with the arborists and biologist has brought me the most joy. What a cool job! There are protected wetlands below the ridge, so there has been a little extra due diligence we have had to do to make sure these areas are protected. I know we will have a beautiful life here, under the oak trees.

Good design strikes the perfect balance of form and function. This sun-drenched window seat gives a clever, playful moment to a very polished kitchen. Head over to my friend to see more of this gorgeous Texas home. It is her personal home, so as you can imagine, the devil really is in the details!
