Recent Podcast Appearances
I was honored to be featured on two different podcasts over the past year and I just realized the other day I had not shared them on here yet! I’ve shared a little about both of them below with links to download and listen to each episode. I share a little bit about my journey as an entrepreneur in each, how I got started, and advice for other small business owners, as well as some of my dreams for the future. Hope you enjoy listening!
Bachelor Pad Living Room Project: Before + After
If you’ve been following along with my design projects, you know a good chunk of last year was taken up with my bachelor pad project. We started with a completely empty house (the client literally just had a mattress!) and we transformed it into the coolest and coziest bachelor pad around! The living room is the centerpiece of the home and probably my favorite space. We added some built-in shelving on each side of the fireplace that really pulled the whole room together (shelving was done by Miller Team Renovations). This client wanted a mix of modern and masculine for the space (leathers and neutrals) but also for everything to be comfortable and practical! I love how the space pulled together and think it will be stylish and functional for years to come. Check out some before and after photos as well as shopping links for the items we used below!
John Woodford's One Happy Camper Birthday
I can’t believe how fast time is going - JW celebrated his first birthday back in November! I had so much fun planning it and celebrating with friends, but wanted to give you a behind the scenes look at some details.
I decided to go with a “ONE Happy Camper” theme for the party because I just saw so many fun possibilities for the food and decor. By using woodland animal decor, buffalo plaid accents, and a make your own trail-mix favor bar, it was the perfect theme for a little boy’s birthday - especially in the fall or winter months. I made the most of evergreen trees and holiday decor I already had to tie into the theme as well as fun snacks like smore’s on a stick, custom woodland cookies, and a homemade “pinecone” cheese ball (more details on food + recipes linked below)!

Entryway Tables for Less Than $200
Entryway areas can be a little tricky to decorate because they tend to serve as a catch-all space that needs to be both practical and stylish. A entryway table can be a great way to ground an entryway, hallway, or foyer area and give some function too. I wanted to put together some of my favorite entryway tables that are stylish and affordable, all coming in less than $200! I did a variety of styles, colors, and sizes so you’re sure to find something that can suit your space and needs.
Sausage, Kale, Tortellini + Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Soup | Easy Trader Joe's Dinner Recipe
If you’ve been following along for a while, you know that I love shopping at Trader Joe’s especially for quick and easy dinner options. I’ve shared lots of Trader Joe’s recipes here but by far my most popular is my quick, 2-ingredient tortellini and roasted red pepper tomato soup. I decided to do a new twist on this recipe and bulk it up a bit by adding sausage and kale as well as diced onion and some extra diced tomatoes. I didn’t think it could get much better than my original recipe, but this one tops it for me!
