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. 💕✨

Smart homeowner tip after 28 years 🏡

Outlet covers actually come in different sizes.
If the drywall cut is a little too big around your outlet or switch, the larger plate hides it instantly.

Simple fix most people don’t know about.

Happy Designing! 💕✨

28 years in one house taught me this about window screen repair.

We thought we’d have to call the window company.

It would’ve cost at least $150.

Instead, I ordered a $20 kit and replaced the back door screen and one window myself.

Before you replace it… check this.

Small fixes add up.

Shower curtain and liner we have in the guest bathroom while we decide on the shower door

#LTKmorningroutine #LTKOver40 #LTKHome

Six years ago we couldn’t decide on black or gold shower doors.

The quotes were anywhere from $450 to over $1,000.

So we put up floor-to-ceiling shower curtain panels instead.

Six years later?
Still no doors.

Sometimes not deciding isn’t a mistake.
Sometimes it’s savings.

Also I 💯 do NOT want black now.

Have you ever delayed a purchase… and ended up glad you did?

#LTKOver40 #LTKHome #LTKdayinmylife

Twenty years ago, this dining room was mostly a catch-all space.

So we reworked it into a sitting room with an expandable coffee table that opens when company comes over.

Your needs change over time—
and it’s okay to change your space to meet you where you are.

This one hurt.

Our steam shower floor didn’t have enough slope.
It cracked. It leaked.

Fixing it cost us $5,850 in tile, plumbing, and glass door removal.

And while we were in there, we removed the marble shower seats too.

20+ years in the same house teaches you this:

Luxury isn’t worth it if it’s built wrong.

But now? She’s perfect!

#bathroomremodel #masterbath #steamshower #walkinshower #designmistakes

Home renovation reality… Everyone budgets for construction.

No one budgets for furnishing the bigger space.

Before you go bigger, price the furniture first.

It adds up fast.

Trust me.

#homerenovation #biggerhouse #homeownerlife #designlesson #realhomeowners

Twenty years ago, we invested $300,000 to make our house bigger.

What I didn’t think about?

Furnishing it.
Heating it.
Cooling it.
Higher taxes.

After the remodel, we ran out of furniture money.

Bigger isn’t always better.
Know the numbers before you build.

No Entryway Living Room – Storage Ottoman Ideas

When shoes pile up and you don’t have a proper foyer, storage ottomans are genius. These stylish storage ottoman ideas double as hidden shoe storage, extra seating, and soft texture in a neutral living room. Tuck two under a console table, place one near the front door, or use a pair behind a sofa to create functional zoning in an open layout. Bouclé, linen, velvet, woven, and wood-trim styles all work beautifully in modern and organic spaces. The key? Choose performance fabric and a cohesive color palette so your entry solution looks elevated — not cluttered.

No Entryway Living Room – Bookcase Divider Ideas

If your front door opens straight into your living room, a low bookcase divider can create a subtle “faux half wall” without blocking light. These open shelving and modern bookcase divider ideas help define the entry zone while maintaining traffic flow. Look for pieces around 30–36 inches high to preserve sightlines and keep the space feeling open. Open-back shelving, slatted designs, and light wood finishes work especially well in modern neutral living rooms. Style them minimally with books, baskets, and decor so they feel curated — not crowded.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40 #LTKHome

No Entryway Living Room – Room Divider Ideas

For open layouts that feel undefined, foldable room dividers are an easy, renter-friendly solution. These room divider ideas add structure near the front door without permanent construction. Woven rattan, cane, wood frame, or fabric panels allow light to pass through while creating visual separation between the entry and living space. Use them when you need flexibility or want to soften an awkward layout with architectural interest. Choose materials and tones that match your living room design so the divider enhances your style instead of competing with it.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40 #LTKHome

If you have no entryway and your front door opens directly into your living room, a console table is one of the easiest ways to create a defined entry zone without building walls. These modern and neutral console table ideas work beautifully behind a floating sofa, against a wall near the door, or under a mirror to create a styled “arrival moment.” Look for slim profiles (12–16 inches deep) so you protect the walkway while still adding surface space for keys, mail, lamps, and decor. Whether you love organic wood, fluted details, curved silhouettes, or bold black statement pieces, these console tables help your open living room feel intentional — not awkward.

Ruffle Living Room Sofa – For Every Budget

Soft, feminine, and full of charm, the ruffle sofa trend is bringing a cozy, romantic feel back into living rooms. From tailored skirted sofas to relaxed slipcovered styles, these pieces add movement, texture, and a designer-collected look without feeling stiff or formal.

Whether you love neutral linen, warm camel tones, or soft blush upholstery, a ruffled sofa can make your space feel layered, comfortable, and inviting. This look works beautifully in traditional, cottage, grandmillennial, and cozy modern living rooms—especially when paired with vintage-inspired rugs, soft pillows, and warm wood accents.

If you want a living room that feels more personal and less cookie-cutter, this trend is a beautiful way to add softness and character.

Ruffle Chairs & Seating – For Every Budget

The ruffle furniture trend isn’t just for sofas—accent chairs, ottomans, and benches are getting the same soft, tailored treatment. These skirted and ruffled seating pieces instantly make a room feel warmer, more inviting, and thoughtfully layered.

From classic slipcovered chairs to patterned cottage-style seats, ruffled accents work perfectly in cozy living rooms, reading corners, bedrooms, and entryways. They add texture at the base of the furniture, soften hard lines, and create that relaxed, designer-inspired look you see in high-end homes.

Mix solids with subtle patterns, or pair a ruffled chair with a more structured sofa for balance. It’s an easy way to make your home feel comfortable, charming, and elevated at the same time.

Small bathroom storage can completely change how a space functions.

This used to be our only bathroom.

When it became the guest bath, we simplified the storage — and it works better than before.

Small spaces don’t need more.
They need smarter.

This bathroom lighting almost cost me $2,000. The bubble light I saw at market was $1,099. Even Pottery Barn was $399 each — and we needed two. So I found these for $150 each. They’re not an exact match… but we saved over $1,000. Spend smart. This is the one we have Orbis 18 in.

Bathroom mirror idea that actually came from a designer living room.

I thought it would modernize this vintage vanity, so I made a template to show the idea.
My husband took one look and said, “Why not just a mirror in the middle?”

He didn’t get the vision.

Just a reminder—
inspiration doesn’t always have to be used exactly.

Clearly we don’t use this bathroom jacuzzi tub BUT twenty years ago, it felt like the ultimate upgrade.

But now the kids are grown… and we barely use it.

Before you add the trendy feature like that free standing tub, ask yourself if you’ll actually use it long term.
