Welcome!

I’m happy you’re here! I live in Portland with my spouse Andrew and three crazy cats. I’m an architect by day and a DIY-er by night. As we renovate and make our 1920s house into a home, I’m sharing our lessons learned and inspirations - to hopefully help you to make your space a little bit better - no matter your budget and skills.

I’m a thrifty gal who values sustainability (environmental and social) and timeless design. I believe that possessing intentionally goes a long ways towards an organized and delightful home. You won’t catch me limited to one design style - rather, I enjoy the beauty found in each design style. I love a historic home or detail… but I also admire modern, minimal homes.
