We moved into Willow House in May 1998 🤍

Over the years, I’ve learned which design choices stand the test of time…
and which ones I’d do differently today.

This year, I’m sharing real design lessons from living here for 25+ years —
so if you’re a new homeowner, you don’t have to make the same mistakes.

This is the beginning of my Do As I Say, Not As I Did series.
Follow along for honest design advice, lessons learned, and real-life remodels ✨

If you just bought a house, this is your permission slip.

You don’t need to renovate everything at once.
Live in your home first and learn what actually matters.

Some of our biggest design regrets came from rushing decisions we didn’t need to make yet.

Save this if you’re a new homeowner. 💕✨

I have rosacea and sensitive skin, so I have to be really careful but these have all been a game changer and have not affected my skin and have just made it have a nice glow and it’s beautiful. Highly recommend.

Friendly reminder you can always find a look for less with a little bit of time and energy. Just saying.

I was completely obsessed with the visual comfort bubble chandelier lighting but when you need two it’s time to find a more affordable option for the bathroom remodel! You won’t believe where these are from!

Links to shop are always on my LTK!

This bubble flush mount chandelier was so affordable and completely elevated the look of the bathroom remodel!!

If you’re a new homeowner, this is your reminder:
You don’t need to renovate everything at once.

This vanity was part of a 20-year-old bathroom designed during the Tuscan trend.
Instead of replacing it, we painted it Chantilly Lace — and it completely transformed the space.

Live in your home first.
Your needs (and style) will change over time 🤍

Colleen Rothschild quench & shine restorative hair mask for all skin types is a must before hot yoga. The heat can dry my hair and this adds moisture and softness to it so that it doesn’t get dry from the heat.

#LTKselfcare #LTKfitnessgoals #LTKmorningroutine

I always think I can do it all myself.

My husband is much better at knowing when it’s time to hire help.

Real lesson learned — sometimes waiting or asking for help saves you money, time, and stress.

I thought using leftover paint in the bathroom closets was a smart shortcut.

But here’s the problem… rooms get repainted. Closets don’t!

Now I’m stuck repainting closets every time I update a room. 😣

Same bathroom.
Twenty years later.

This space was designed during the Tuscan trend — rich colors, heavy finishes, and bold contrast.

Today, it’s calmer, lighter, and more timeless.

Amazing what an $80 gallon of paint can do for a space.

Follow for real design lessons. Happy Designing 💕✨
