Welcome to Slowly Intentional: Designing a Home and Life That Feels Like You
Hey there, and welcome! I’m so excited you’re here. If you’re anything like me—a busy mom juggling work, family, and all the daily chaos while secretly dreaming of a home that feels like the perfect retreat—you’ve landed in the right spot.
This year, I’m taking everything I’ve learned from over a decade as a commercial interior designer and blending it with the insights I’ve gained from connecting with real moms like you. My mission? To help you create a home that doesn’t just look good but feels good—one that tells your family’s story without relying on the latest trends or big-box store hauls.
What You Can Expect from Slowly Intentional in 2025
This isn’t just a design blog—it’s a space to explore how your home and lifestyle can work together to support the life you want to live. Here’s a taste of what’s coming your way:
1. Design for Real Life
Say goodbye to cookie-cutter styles and hello to spaces that reflect your personality. I’ll share practical tips for:
- Creating rooms you love without breaking the bank.
- Working with what you already have (hello, those honey oak cabinets from the ’90s).
- Avoiding trends and making timeless choices you won’t regret.
2. Storytelling in Design
Your home has a story to tell, and I’ll help you uncover it. Whether it’s honoring your family’s history, embracing sentimental pieces, or infusing meaning into every detail, we’ll dive deep into how to design a home that’s as unique as your story.
3. Holiday Magic and Everyday Cozy
From easy holiday entertaining ideas to creating cozy moments year-round, I’ll guide you in making your home a sanctuary where everyone feels welcome—especially you.
4. The Trend-Free Home
I’m writing an ebook called The Trend-Free Home Guide, launching soon! It’s your go-to resource for making timeless design decisions without feeling pressured to “keep up.”
5. Color Confidence
Struggling with paint colors? I get it. I’m creating a color guide to help you navigate tricky flooring, cabinets, and trim choices so your spaces feel cohesive and fresh.
Why “Slowly Intentional”?
In a world that tells us to buy fast and follow the trends, I believe in slowing down and curating with intention. Your home isn’t just a backdrop for life—it’s the place where your memories are made, your kids grow up, and you unwind after long days. It deserves to be thoughtful, personal, and deeply comforting.
