I Almost Walked Away & the Designer Dish

Hi friends-

Thank you for your kind feedback on the Eclectic Trad project I shared in my last post. 

You're the best!

You may have noticed that since January, I've been lapse in my blog posts. Although I have consistent client work, between personal things going on at home, my second 11 weeks miscarriage in January, & blogging, something had to give. It wasn't going to be my kids.  :-) **Editors Note: A few of you have left the sweetest comments or texted me about our loss. Thank you! I promise this post wasn't written to garner sympathy. I really wanted to share where my head has been these last months and bring you along with me on the process. I'm excited for what's to come.

Did you know my background is actually in Foreign Policy and not Interior Design? There's a part of me that always wonders if I'm a "real" designer, but there are plenty of famous designers that didn't go to school for design and are hugely successful. Long story made slightly shorter, I took a few months to decide if I really wanted to keep going with Interior Design and if so, how will that look? How can I shape a life where I do what I love and stay true to my values?

And guess what. I've missed you! I learned that I love blogging and miss having the time to connect with you in a greater way than a few sentences on Instagram.

 I decided to put my focus on my clients and their experience, and create boring business stuff like creating a checklist for my client intake process. ;-) I'm making changes to meet the needs of my clients

 and still connect with you in a valuable way.

My vision is to change my blog to more of a portfolio

and still reach out to you on a more consistent and personal basis.

I think I've found a solution...

a place for us to dish about all things design.

Once a month, I'll be sending a new issue of DESIGNER DISH straight to subscribers, that will include content I haven't shared anywhere else: simple designer tips, recent client projects, favorite paint colors, and 

special opportunities only available to Designer Dish readers. 

Believe me, I know your inbox is a sacred place. 

My dream is to give you personal designer tips each month to 

live the best version of your personal style.
