Would you believe me if I told you that THIS right here is what gives me peace?

Call me crazy but there’s something so soothing about breaking down a room to the bare bones and creating something beautiful, functional, and real.

It’s like a grown-up video game (and cheaper than therapy).

Look, I get it. Black tile feels scary. But here’s the thing… when you balance it right, it creates the most gorgeous (and slightly edgy) spaces that feel like a luxury retreat.

This bathroom design isn’t about being different just to be different. It’s about creating a space that has actual personality and makes you feel something when you walk in. Not just what you see in every builder grade home these days.

The key to using dark tones in your designs intentionally? Strategic placement, the right lighting, and knowing when to pull back with softer elements. It’s not rocket science, promise.

Your bathroom doesn’t have to look like every other bathroom on Pinterest. Sometimes the “risky” choice is exactly what your space needs to go from boring to breathtaking.

Who else is ready to ditch the safe choices and design something that actually reflects their personality? Drop a 🖤 if you’re team bold tile choices!

life lately 🖤

I haven’t shared as much of the behind-the-scenes stuff lately — not because there hasn’t been plenty happening, but honestly because there’s just been a lot. Between work, the house, and life in general, both Kyle and I have been feeling pretty stretched thin.

The kids are doing great though — the boys are officially sharing a room, Hazel’s holding her own, and Gryffin’s now in a big boy bed (somehow it feels like that happened way too fast). Nala had surgery to remove her mast cell tumor, and we got the best possible news — everything was removed and it was low-stage, so she should be good to go.

Hunting season kicked off, we’re still working on siding and roofing, and I’ve somehow managed to stay consistent with workouts — officially 20 pounds down since January.

And because we clearly needed something to wind down with, we watched the full season of Monster with Charlie Hunnam as Ed Gein. I already knew a lot of the details of that case and had seen the crime scene photos, but the show still hit hard. It’s been sitting with me ever since.

Trying to remind myself that even when things feel full and overwhelming, we’re moving forward — staying consistent, finding our rhythm, and soaking up this season as we head into hunting and the holidays.

Also… has anyone else watched Monster yet? I have thoughts — and I need to hear yours. 😬

Motherhood is basically a gothic horror comedy 🕯️💀

You’re cooking dinners no one eats.
You’re scrubbing grout like it’s your Roman Empire.
You’re hiding in the shower like it’s a portal to another realm.
And don’t even get me started on the laundry dimension…

It’s chaos, it’s endless, it’s ridiculous —
and somehow it all takes place in the most beautiful rooms of the house.

Your home should make your life easier, not harder. Happier, not more annoyed. But somewhere along the way, you started accepting daily frustration as normal.
It’s not.

You shouldn’t have to avoid your own kitchen. You shouldn’t feel embarrassed about your guest bathroom (or even your master for that matter). And you definitely shouldn’t keep throwing money at random decorating “fixes” that never actually fix anything.

Here’s what I know: the problem isn’t you. It’s that your space wasn’t designed for how you actually live.

Virtual design consultations give you professional solutions without the designer price tag. We’ll figure out what’s not working, why it’s not working, and exactly how to fix it… all for less than you’d spend on another failed Pinterest project.

Your daily stress has a solution. And it starts with one conversation.

If this sounds like you, we need to work together 👇

You’re not here for the Instagram-perfect white kitchen that shows every fingerprint.

You want the mudroom that can handle three kids’ worth of backpacks, the laundry room that makes folding less miserable, and the bathroom that functions for busy mornings.

You love those warm, cozy vibes but you’re not basic.

You want the brass hardware, the moody paint color, the unexpected tile choice that makes your space feel like you.

Most importantly? You need someone who actually understands how homes are built. Not just what looks pretty, but what works structurally, what makes sense for your budget, and what will still be functional in five years.

I’m designing spaces while my three kids are asking for snacks every five minutes. I get that your home needs to be beautiful AND handle real life. That’s exactly what I design for.

Your home should work as hard as you do. And it should feel like the people who live there, not like a magazine that no one’s allowed to touch.

✨ Mentally, we’re all here ✨

Because honestly:
• The backsplash decisions nearly do you in.
• The first shower feels like stepping into another realm.
• Finally having enough storage? That’s a religious experience.
• And pendant lights? Straight-up ascension.

Renovations are exhausting, messy, and kinda brutal… but when it’s done, the little details hit so much harder.

Consider this your official permission slip.
But honestly? You never needed my permission in the first place. Or anyone else’s for that matter.
Your home is YOURS. If you’re drawn to deeper colors, dramatic lighting, or those rich textures that make a space feel like a cozy cave, lean into it.
I see so many people apologizing for wanting something different. “I know black paint is crazy, but...” or “I love this crazy tile, but maybe it’s too much...”
Stop. Right there.
Moody doesn’t mean dark and depressing. It means intentional. Sophisticated. It means your space has actual personality instead of looking like every other beige box on the internet.
And here’s the secret: adding moody elements is way easier than you think. One accent wall. Brass fixtures instead of chrome. A deeper paint color in your powder room. Rich textures in your textiles.
You don’t have to commit to a full gothic mansion vibe (unless that’s your thing… then by all means). Start small and see how it feels.
Your space should reflect who you are, not what some design “rule” says is safe. Safe is boring. You’re not boring.
So paint that wall. Buy the dark tile. Choose the dramatic light fixture. And stop asking for permission to make your home feel like YOU.
What’s one moody element you’ve been afraid to try? Tell me in the comments. I bet it’s not as scary as you think. And yes, I’m definitely going to tell you to DO IT!

We’re back with part two of the Back to School, Built in series, and this week we’re tackling desk spaces that actually work (for you AND your kids).

A well-designed desk can make all the difference in how your kids focus, stay organized, and even enjoy their homework.

Desk spaces that combine style with function mean that they actually get used, and they’re a space that doesn’t make your skin crawl when you walk by it.

From clever storage solutions that keep supplies within reach to layouts that maximize space in small rooms, these ideas show how intentional design turns an ordinary desk into a space your kids and your whole family will actually want to use.

Thoughtful touches, like proper lighting, easy-to-clean surfaces, and designated zones for schoolwork and projects, make mornings smoother and study time more effective.

Swipe through to get inspired and see how a little planning and smart design can create desk spaces that truly work for your home and your family’s daily routines. Ready to create your dream space?

When the budget allows, this is where the magic happens. A slim-line rift-cut oak vanity from Crown Point Cabinetry with a honed Taj Mahal quartzite top — polished but still natural. I love pairing it with brass fixtures and a scalloped-edge mirror for that subtle statement moment.

Six weeks in the living room… all for this moment. ✨

Chaos, dust, and kids sleeping on the couch — there were nights it felt like the mess would never end. We were tired and stretched thin, wondering if we’d regret taking this on. But underneath all the hard moments was the hope of what was waiting at the finish line.

Little by little, the dormer started to feel real. The outside still isn’t finished, but stepping into those rooms for the first time with the kids running around… it was everything we’d been working toward.

After years of squeezing into one bedroom, we finally have space to breathe. The house feels calmer, lighter, and like such a gift.

It’s been hard, but it’s also been everything we hoped for. And for the first time, it finally feels like we truly have enough space for our little family. 🏡✨

Back-to-school season is here and we’re kicking it off with our Back to School, Built in series where we’ll touch on areas of your home that could use a little TLC to make them feel more functional every day.

In part one, we’re starting with the space that sets the tone for your whole home: the mudroom. This essential space is so overlooked, but it has the ability to make or break your home organization and overall flow.

Think you need a huge dedicated mudroom to reap the benefits? Think again! With some well-designed built-ins, you can do a lot with a little square footage. Built-ins that aren’t just beautiful... they’re functional, keeping backpacks, shoes, sports gear, and everything in between organized and easy to grab.

Thoughtful design here makes hectic mornings smoother, helps maintain a tidy home, and creates a space that actually works for your family’s everyday routine.

Swipe through to see how smart, intentional built-ins can transform a busy entryway into a space that’s both practical and stylish. Ready for more like this? Follow @bienvenueandco so you don’t miss the rest of the series (and more!)

Late nights, paint clothes, and a lot of tape later… Hazel’s checkered wall is done. She picked Deep Mauve by Benjamin Moore for the color, and the checkers are a little nod to the theme she chose (I’ll save the full reveal for later 💕).

I’ve kept Fossil (BM) running through the dormers — it feels calm and soft, not stark, but still clean and bright. Nugget curled up on the floor while we pulled the tape, Nala found her perfect sun spot on the trailer, Gryffin wandered around proud with his empty beer bottle, and Kyle kept things moving outside.

We’re tired, but the finishes are going in — flooring, trim, all the details — and we’re finally in the homestretch. Thought we’d have the kids moved in this weekend, but it’s looking like mid-week instead. Either way, we’re close ✨

Every favorite project starts with a strong foundation.

Before any decisions about finishes, furniture, or layouts, there’s a process that guides the design from a simple idea to a space that feels both functional and beautiful. We’ve honed these questions over countless experiences with homeowners.

Even if...
you don’t know what you want.
what you want changes halfway through the conversation.
you are so certain of exactly what you want.

These questions ALWAYS lead to good conversation and important discoveries. Taking the time to start with intention ensures that every choice, big or small, aligns with the way the home will actually be lived in.

Swipe through to see how starting with the right approach not only makes the design process smoother but also sets the stage for spaces that truly reflect the people who live there.

The first steps may be simple, but they’re what turn a good design into a great one.

Smart design for the back-to-school season 🎒

Mornings can be hectic, homework can be messy, and keeping everyone organized often feels impossible, but the right design can change all of that.

If you’ve ever wondered what products we actually use on our renovation projects, I’ve started putting them all together in one place for you 🤍 From doors and flooring to hardware, sinks, vanities, faucets, lighting, and even the smaller details like candles—you’ll find the same items we install in real client homes (and ours!)

It’s all saved on my LTK so you can easily shop and get inspiration for your own DIY projects or remodels. ✨

Pretty is nice. But purposeful is better.

Built-in design means your home works harder for you... from custom closets with smart shelving to mudrooms with storage that actually fits your life. It’s the difference between something that looks good for a photo… and something that still works beautifully 10 years later.

If it’s cabinetry, tile, lighting plans, or storage you’ll use every day... that’s where we shine.

I pulled together three different design ideas for the boys’ room, each with its own vibe.

First up is Vintage Explorer — maps, plaid, and that old-world adventure feel.

Then Modern Industrial — darker tones, metal details, and some really cool engine prints, because Evan loves anything mechanical.

And Rad Racing — bold red, checkerboard, and all the car artwork… because like most boys, Evan is all about cars.

Just like Hazel’s room, we’re keeping the same beds and dresser — hand-me-downs from my brother and my dad. No need to replace everything when we can work with what we already have. A new rug, fresh paint, and some fun accents can totally transform the space.

Evan’s already picked his favorite — and since Gryffin’s still too little to weigh in, his big brother made the call. Which one do you think he chose?

The story behind BCO!

What started as a creative extension of Houseal Construction quickly became something bigger.

Meridith wanted a space where design isn’t just about looks... it’s about function, flow, and real-life living.

Bienvenue & Co brings together thoughtful layouts, curated finishes, and solutions that actually work for busy families.

Watch Meridith share how BCO came to be and what makes it different from anything else in home design.

#bienvenueandco #interiordesign #ourstory #builtinhomes

I thought I knew which design Hazel would choose… turns out I was wrong 👀 But when I asked Evan which one he thought she’d like, he actually guessed the right one (still amazed by that).

I pulled together three different design ideas for Hazel’s room just to see what direction we might go in.

There’s Moody Vintage with darker tones and a cozy patterned rug.

Rad Girl with checkerboard bedding and bold art.

And Groovy Flower with big floral accents and a colorful rainbow rug.

For all three, I kept the bed and dresser the same. The bed is hers already and the dresser has been in the family for generations. No sense in blowing money on all new furniture when we can work with what we have.

A fresh rug, new paint, and a few accent pieces can completely change the vibe without starting from scratch.

Here’s the fun part: Hazel has already picked her favorite… but do you think you can guess as well as Evan did? Drop your guess in the comments and stay tuned as we keep going with this renovation to see which one we went with.

We’ve been dreaming about more space up here, and it’s finally starting to take shape. The dormers went from bare framing to fresh drywall, and now Evan and Hazel are helping pick colors for some fun accent walls in their rooms (big decisions when you’re 6 and 3!).

This coming week we’ll wrap up spackling, priming, and painting. Then it’s on to flooring, trim, light fixtures, and those last little details that make it feel complete.

Outside, the roofing is ready and the siding is on the way — piece by piece, this project is moving forward. It finally feels like the finish line is in sight, at least on the inside.

Can’t wait to share the next update — what color would you choose for an accent wall?

Let’s get your home holiday-hosting ready! I know it’s hard to believe that the holidays are in fact right around the corner... but it’s true!

The holidays are all about togetherness, but hosting can quickly become stressful if your space isn’t set up to support it.

From thoughtful layouts that keep traffic flowing, to clever storage for decorations and entertaining essentials, and the little finishing touches that make every corner feel festive and inviting, smart design makes all the difference.

Swipe through this carousel for tips on creating spaces that are both beautiful and functional, so you can focus on what really matters: making memories with family and friends.

There’s something about feeling the tile samples in your hand or holding up paint colors side by side that just hits different. After all, these little details are what make a house feel like home.

The past couple weeks have been a blur — Maine, back-to-school chaos, an 8-hour drive to Cape May for Labor Day camping… and now we’re back home, exhausted.

The kids are still sleeping in the living room because the dormers aren’t finished, every night feels like a never-ending slumber party, and I’ve officially set a deadline of Oct 3 (because I need to watch the new season of Monster in peace - and not traumatize my kids).

Workouts + nutrition have slipped, energy is low, and while it might look like Kyle and I are doing a lot… the truth is we’re tired, stressed, and just figuring it out like everyone else.

The highlight reel doesn’t show the laundry piles, the late nights, the arguments, or the “what’s for dinner?” panic at 5pm. Things are messy and imperfect behind the scenes — and I want to be honest about that.

Because life isn’t perfect. And that’s okay.

Back at it again with my favorite design experiment!

I take my real design plans and let AI try to turn them into a photo… and the results? A little magical, a little chaotic, and always fun to compare to the real thing.

This one was created while trying to design my daughter Hazel’s room.. and while we haven’t decided on a final style yet, I absolutely love how this came out!

Who would love to see this badass design come to life for the little girl in your life? Drop a ⚡️ below!

Got home from camping → immediately did laundry, stacked wood, repacked the camper, started school, hung Sheetrock, waded through office chaos, and kept pretending the kids don’t live in the living room right now.

So naturally, the only logical next move? An 8hr road trip to Cape May for one last hurrah 🏕️☀️

Kyle and I are barely hanging on, but hey… free-ish weekends are on the horizon. Until then, send coffee. Or maybe a margarita 😂

Leslie came to us with a vision for a French-inspired, luxe pink bathroom... and after one virtual consultation, we had a design ready that captured her style exactly.

From moving plumbing and walls to sourcing the perfect pieces, we gave her a plan her local contractors could bring to life.

Because great design isn’t just about what’s pretty... it’s about making your dream space possible no matter where you are in the world.
