You don’t need a full renovation or a shopping spree at a luxury showroom to make your home feel more elevated. In fact, some of the most impactful changes are the easiest to implement.

You know when you walk into a home, and everything just feels right? It’s not about having the most expensive furniture or a giant renovation budget—it’s about the details. The way a space is styled, the balance of materials, and those small finishing touches that make a home feel polished and intentional.

When my client for the Woodrose project told me she wanted a "wow factor" for her entryway—something that would make guests gasp the moment they walked in—I knew we had to go bold. But because I’m me (and I refuse to do pretty without purpose), I also made sure this space worked for their busy family. The result? A show-stopping entry that’s both beautiful and life-changingly functional.

When designing a guest bedroom, there’s a fine line between making it feel like a luxurious hotel stay and keeping it warm and inviting—like a hug in room form. For the guest bedroom in the Woodrose project, we hit that sweet spot, creating a cozy, stylish space that makes visitors feel right at home while also functioning as a secondary office for K, our client.

Imagine this: It’s the end of a long day. The kids are finally asleep (hallelujah), and instead of collapsing onto a bed covered in laundry and half-finished bedtime stories, you step into a calm, cozy, beautifully designed space that is 100% yours. No toys. No chaos. No interruptions. Just a quiet retreat where you and your partner can actually exist as grown-ups again. Sounds dreamy, right?

This wasn’t just another living area—this was going to be a cozy lounge, a playroom, a media space, and the ultimate hangout for sports nights with friends.

And if you knew R, you’d know that’s a big deal because this kid loves snacks.
