Subway tile feels like a safe, affordable choice… until dye lots don’t match.

We ended up with two different shades, and fixing it would’ve cost more in labor than the tile itself.

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. 💕✨

My mom worked for a dermatologist and I have super sensitive skin. This is the moisturizing lotion that the doctor recommended over 30 years ago and I still use it to this day. Vanicream Moisturizing Lotion makes my skin so smooth and refreshed. It is lightweight and I wear it at night and in the morning. Make sure to put it on your face and neck. Your skin will thank you.

Morning skin care routine // Three face creams that you can use if you have sensitive skin row, Probiotic Power Serum, Biome Barrier Cream and Vanicream Moisturizing Lotion Pump, moisturizing lotion. 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!
