Knotty Pine Design

One of my favorite parts of a room refresh? Shopping the house first. 👀

This dresser in my client’s son’s room was packed with treasures that had slowly collected and been forgotten over time. A little chaotic? Maybe. Full of potential? Absolutely.

I extracted a few pieces for styling elsewhere—a bowling pin, a V***e Cliquot tin, a fez hat, and all those quirky little finds that make a home feel personal.

Try as I might, I never found a spot for the bowling pin, but the promo tin and fez sure came in handy! The rest is a mix of Knotty Pine Design finds plus books and bits plucked from elsewhere in the home. What do you think, did we score a strike or a spare? ✨🎳

A little before + after magic👇
This refresh was all about helping my client step into a new chapter; letting go of the “hodgepodge of an old life” and creating a space that actually feels like ✨hers✨. We focused on the living room, dining room, and hallway, layering in personality (and some seriously good Facebook Marketplace finds 👏).

The long, narrow living room definitely gave us a design challenge, but honestly… it might be one of my favorite transformations. Proof that a tricky layout just needs the right perspective.

This is just the beginning though! There’s so much more to show from this home. I cannot wait to share what we did with her vintage camera collection 📸 More coming soon…
