There’s something about adding artwork that brings a room to life—and in this serene primary bedroom, it was the final touch that made everything sing.

Where Old Meets New: A Wall of Wonders

There’s something magical about a well-curated gallery wall—and this one, featured in our brick-and-mortar shop, is a perfect example of how to mix eras, styles, and textures in a way that feels layered and lived-in.

From Builder Basic to Blooming Beauty—A Bathroom That Works Hard & Wows

From Builder Basic to Blooming Beauty—A Bathroom That Works Hard & Wows

This bathroom started as a purely functional space—bland and dated finishes, limited storage, and a layout that made everything just feel cramped. The vision: a retreat that felt elevated and fresh, full of color, light, character, and purpose.

Tucked inside a gracious 1860s home, this petite powder room needed more than an update—it deserved a moment. The space may be small, but the opportunity to infuse character and charm was huge.

A Family Room That Works for Everyone: Cozy, Connected, and Designed for Togetherness

A Family Room That Works for Everyone: Cozy, Connected, and Designed for Togetherness

In so many homes, the family room is where real life happens—the joyful, the messy, the everyday magic. For families with both neurotypical and special needs children, this space becomes even more important. It needs to invite everyone in, offer comfort and safety, and adapt beautifully to a range of sensory, physical, and emotional needs. That’s exactly what we designed this room to do.

Where Comfort Meets Style: A Family Room You’ll Actually Use

Where Comfort Meets Style: A Family Room You’ll Actually Use

Sunlight spills across leafy wallpaper and settles into every soft layer of this inviting Wisconsin den.

A deep green sectional wraps the room in a cozy embrace, offering plenty of lounge-worthy spots for movie marathons, weekend naps, and catch-ups with friends.

There’s something irresistible about a perfectly styled bar cart—and this vintage gem in our retail shop is no exception. Tucked into a cozy corner, it’s layered with texture, sparkle, and charm.

Smart Solutions for a Long, Narrow Family Room

Designing a long, narrow family room requires intention—and a little ingenuity. This layout tackles some of the most common challenges in similar spaces: not enough seating, awkward TV views, poor lighting, and too few surfaces. The result? A cozy, hardworking room built for connection, comfort, and flexibility.

Elevated and Earthy: Inside a Dining Room That Blurs the Line Between Indoors and Out

After 18 months of dreaming, designing, and decision-making, this new-build project is nearly complete—and the dining room just might be our favorite moment in the entire home. Nestled into a quiet neighborhood surrounded by evergreens, this house needed a design that reflected the natural beauty right outside its windows. So we brought the forest in.

From Somber to Serene: A Bedroom Brought Back to Life

From Somber to Serene: A Bedroom Brought Back to Life

If you’ve ever walked into a room in your home and felt… off, you’re not alone. This bedroom was a prime example—a dark, somber space that didn’t reflect the joy or personality of the homeowners. Nothing was technically wrong, but everything felt heavy and uninspired. The problem? Living with a space that isn't working can slowly chip away at your sense of ease and comfort—especially in rooms meant for rest and restoration.
