The New Styled Out West
Since SOW started as a lifestyle blog and interior design was added later, that’s exactly how the website felt — like we were a lifestyle blog who also dabbled in interior design. I needed the new site to be quite the opposite of that and not only showcase all our beautiful projects, but reflect all the hard work I had put into perfecting our client experience.
Why I Won't Be Making Any New Resolutions in 2024
I’ve never been big on resolutions or goals, but rather I like to think of them as intentions. At the start of every new year, I think to myself, what do I want to accomplish this year and why? If it’s not something that’s extremely important to me or something that has substantial meaning or thought behind it, it likely won’t happen.

Featured Project: Seward Park New Build
When I first met this family, they were in the very beginning stages of the new build process. They had decided to tear down their existing home and replace it with a pre-fabricated farmhouse they purchased from a company in another state. What does that mean? Well basically, the home was shipped to them via truck in large segments. So rather than building from scratch they already had the framework for the house and they brought me in to design the inside.
How to Create a Capsule Wardrobe
So what is a capsule closet? In essence, a capsule embraces quality over quantity and favors versatility — less items (thanks to those key, neutral pieces), endless options. While there’s no magic number, it’s important to hone in on the 20% of your closet you use, wear, and love, and let go of the rest. If you’re ready to say yes to more joy, peace, and abundance in your closet then you’ll want to read this post.
How to Stay Organized While Packing
By now, I’ve done my fair share of traveling and I’ve finally gotten my packing routine down to a science. I wish I could say I was a pro at figuring out what clothes to wear, but I still usually over-pack too many outfits because a girl needs choices. But where I will pat myself on the back is my ability to fit everything into a carry on for a 4-5 day trip away. I’m sharing all my tips and tricks for how to stay organized when packing (and not have to check a bag).
As the new year begins, there’s no better time to refresh your home and start decluttering after the whirlwind of the holidays. In the hustle and bustle of family life, clutter can sneak up on us, filling living rooms with extra toys, cramming junk drawers that no longer close, and turning spare rooms into storage catch-alls. Sound familiar? You’re not alone!
