As the owner of perhaps the smallest house in the entire United States of America, I know a thing or two about space saving and double duty home furnishings or solutions. Every piece of furniture or built-in has been carefully crafted or selected to fit my small home with the idea of saving space.

So when I came across these brilliant photos…I was thrilled to see how a posh interior designer did her own version of space planning for clients…Janine Carendi of Area Interior Design features two really wonderful space saving ideas on her interior design firms website.

An easy solution – create a stackable table and benches that can double as counter space or provide seating in an eat-in kitchen!

Food for thought for those of us hungry for more space! Thank you Janine and Area Interior Design for the great custom ideas!

    The Perfect way to accent this room is to add a hand made wall plate. You can find these at Presley Crafts.

You are not going to feel motivated every day. AndYou are not going to feel motivated every day. And you don’t have to.
Some days you’ll feel inspired and everything seems to click. Other days, you’ll question what you’re doing and wonder if any of it is actually working.
The important thing is not to mistake a slow day for a step backward.
You can keep going even when the motivation isn’t there. Some days, showing up is the progress.
Save this for the days when you need the reminder. 🤍

The best parts of Paris might not be on your itineThe best parts of Paris might not be on your itinerary. 🇫🇷
Some of my favorite travel moments are the ones you don’t plan: the pretty street you turn onto, the café you notice while walking by, the building you stop to look at for no particular reason.
So if you’re planning a Paris trip, don’t fill every hour. Leave room to wander.

Sometimes the problem isn’t the work. It’s where ySometimes the problem isn’t the work. It’s where you’re doing it.
So today, I took my work somewhere else. ☕️💻
A little change of scenery, a different view, a few hours away from my usual desk and somehow the workday felt a little lighter.
I’ve found that working somewhere else can be a nice reset when I’m feeling stuck, uninspired, or just too used to the same routine. It’s not necessarily about being more productive; sometimes it’s just about making the day feel different.
A little workday change of scenery with me. 🤍
Would you take your work somewhere else for the day?

A great parquet floor doesn’t just ground a room. A great parquet floor doesn’t just ground a room. It tells you everything about the history of the space. The patina, the pattern, the way light moves across it. These are the rooms that prove good bones never go out of style.
What’s your favorite parquet pattern?
Save this for your next renovation inspo and follow for more. 🖤
