Nature-Inspired Home Office Remodel - Plans, Mood Boards, & Progress Shots

Looking for home office inspo? How about light, plants and neutrals meet vintage charm? The Greenhouse Studio home office renovation has been underway for some time. The construction part of it has been done for a while now, but the design details? Well… that usually seems to take me a bit longer to actually finish. Longer than it should take as I’m the first to admit. I’m still arranging and adjusting a few things, specifically the shelving, so I want to share how it got to this point; the before and in-progress shots, my inspo and mood boards, and plans.

I’ve actually been using it as my office for a couple months now and I love sitting in this light-filled space tapping away on the keyboard. Believe me though, when you see the “before” shots, you may share a bit of the surprise I feel at how much I enjoy the room now.

Design Influencer Conference 2020 - Actionable Tips (plus how to define your Ideal Client)

I just came back from the Design Influencer Conference 2020 in San Francisco. It’s a gathering of interior designers, design influencers and home decor brands from all over the country. I was on the fence about going because a) I just started this little blog o’ mine, and b) I’m not an interior designer (landscape designer by trade). After checking out the lineup of speakers though and more importantly, the topics covered, I decided to make the investment (plus San Francisco is only an hour from Napa, so no corona-virus petri-dish flight involved). So I got my boys sorted for the time I’d be away and bought my ticket.
