Spring is here (I probably just jinxed it), and as

Spring is here (I probably just jinxed it), and as I prep my urban garden, I can’t help but think about what I’d do differently if I started from scratch:
1. Trench the entire fence line to block rats, not just under the deck.
2. Skip softwood furniture, carpenter bees turned my picnic table into dust.
3. Those luxury seeds? Zero blooms. Total waste.
4. Wineberry bush? Gorgeous but vicious. Spreads fast and covered in thorns.
5. Mulch brought snails. They ate everything. I’d switch to black lava rock.
6. Biggest regret? Not asking for help!! I broke a stunning marble base I planned to turn into a raised flower bed.

Swipe through to see what I learned so you don’t make the same mistakes.

What’s one thing you’d redo in your outdoor space?

This community (right here👇🏾on this page, affectionately known as y’all 🫵🏾) has been the key to every step of my design journey!!

And now, because of your not-so-subtle nudge (which was exactly what I needed), the trampoline ottoman is officially patent pending!

THANK YOU!!!

I’m leaning on y’all once again as I search for the right investors and production partners to bring this to life at scale. I even applied to shark tank @sharktankabc (tag them below if you think they should jump on it!!!)

There will be twists and turns, this is my first time doing something like this, but I cannot wait to get it into your homes.

In the meantime, I’ve created a waitlist, it’s linked in my bio, and I’ll also drop it in stories to make it easy.

I upholstered my trampoline. Yes, I said trampoline! What started as a quirky idea turned out to be my favorite design decision of 2024. Now, this mini trampoline doesn’t just serve as exercise equipment, it anchors my office as a multifunctional ottoman.

The health benefits of rebounding on a mini trampoline are incredible:
✨Boosts lymphatic drainage and detoxification
✨ Improves balance and coordination
✨ Strengthens bones and muscles without the harsh impact on joints
✨ Enhances cardiovascular health

This project is a true reflection of my design philosophy which is let’s make it functional, beautiful, and just a little unexpected. If you love innovative ideas like this, make sure to follow, share, and save this post for inspiration!

Who knows? One day I might even get to produce some of my quirky but functional designs for you to bring home. Would you jump on a trampoline-ottoman hybrid? Let me know in the comments!

Hosting during the holidays in a small space can still feel grand with a few simple ideas!

✨ Repurpose & Reinvent: My dining tabletop used to be the top of a coffee table! By converting it, I created a dining surface that fits perfectly in my small lounge. Because it’s not a traditional size, I keep the place settings minimal to leave more room for comfort.

🌿 Use What You Have: Fresh greenery makes all the difference. I clipped a piece of my favorite coleus (one of the plants that started the gnat outbreak 🤦🏾‍♀️— updates on that soon). Anyway, it added an organic touch.

🪞Reflection is Key: Reflective surfaces make the room feel larger —the mirrors, the gold contact paper and the laquer look paint on the inside of the bar all bounce light, creating the illusion of more space.

🕯️ Set the Mood: Candles are a must for that warm, cozy ambiance—they’re simple but transformative. I looove when they get all melty and drip!

Small spaces can be stylish and functional—you just need to get creative! How are you prepping your space for the holidays? Let me know below and save these tips for the entire holiday season and beyond.

Staycations in the spare bedroom are my new thing

Staycations in the spare bedroom are my new thing for fall. Breakfast in bed, binge watching Silo. Reading, riding and making a few meals. I didn’t want to be anywhere else this weekend. 📍❤️🏠
