Some homes just get you at first sight, and this was one of them. Built in the 1960s on a breathtaking property, this ranch-style home had adobe walls, warm wood details, and incredible outdoor views, but the interiors weren’t quite living up to their potential. The homeowners loved the character of their home, but they needed it to feel more functional, welcoming, and refined. Instead of a full renovation, we took a thoughtful approach, embracing the home’s midcentury roots while adding layers, softness, and a touch of ‘70s cool. One of the biggest challenges? Filling the large, open spaces with...

Master Bath -AFTER-
I’m so happy I can finally say that our master bath is done and ready for proper documentation! Next month it will be a year since we moved into this house and I can honestly say that I still love this bathroom and all the decisions we made. Having a proper master bathroom has been
The Kitchen –BEFORE–
Oh… the kitchen. I’ve literally been writing this post for a month because the whole project is a point of frustration for me, but since its Thanksgiving week and everyone is spending a lot of time cooking, I thought it was appropos to finally finish it. I’m also hoping this motivates me to start putting
Master Bath –BEFORE–
Meet our master bathroom before its big makeover! This is the only room that made me second guess the house. It was a deal breaker, and unless we could afford to remodel it, there was no way it would work for us. We were very, very lucky to make it all work the way I
Part 2: My So-Called Crisis
Hi guys, I am a little overwhelmed at the outpouring of support for my post but so, so grateful for it. I am feeling the love, so thank you, its the most beautiful thing about social media. To be clear, I am not a ‘success story’ and I don’t expect I’ll just live happily-ever-after. But
I’m New and I’m Learning

My So-Called Crisis
This has been a rough couple years, and the hardest 6 months of my life. Its still hard to believe, but a couple months ago I chose to leave the business that I created, lived, breathed and loved. Honey Agency was born out of a need to remove barriers we found working for others and
Cecily’s Birth Story
We spent the last 12 weeks of the pregnancy taking classes in the Bradley Method of natural childbirth. Its based on going into labor with a strong education of the birth process to be your own advocate to prevent unnecessary medical interventions. It teaches the husbands to be strong coaches and we practiced many relaxation techniques for pain management.
Scheming: Curb Appeal
Thank you for the well-wishes and thoughts on going back to work back last week. Its a lot to get used to and a lot of bags I’m schlepping to/fro but we did great and no major fallouts so far (we’re still sleeping, yay!). :* One of my favorite things to say is “I have an
