Welcome to the Styled Out West Blog
Never miss a thing!
Featured Project: West Seattle Farmhouse
When I first met the Lewis family, I was particularly excited because, as someone who knows modern farmhouses inside and out, I felt an immediate connection with the client’s vision. They had already resonated with another project we were working on, so when they reached out, they told me our styles would naturally align (and yes, that’s quite literally what she said in her first email).
We’re Building a House!
It feels surreal to even be typing this because even though we’ve been dreaming about this for some time now, it all happened very fast and we’re still processing it honestly.
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.
Why an Interior Designer Should Be Your First Call
Embarking on a home renovation journey can be an exhilarating yet daunting experience.

With our expertise in aesthetics, functionality, and industry knowledge, we can bring a wealth of benefits to the table.
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.
Interior design can feel like a mystery. Are we decorators? Do we only pick out furniture? Do we handle construction? The reality is, an interior designer can do all of the above—and so much more. If you’ve ever wondered whether you need an interior designer, what we actually do, or which service is the best fit for you, I’m breaking it all down for you!
