It seems just like yesterday that the two of you moved into your first home, excited about your future together; ambitious for each others’ careers; optimistic for your shared dreams.
Change is the only constant in family life
Life has been changing steadily though, since your gorgeous kids made an appearance
In the years since you became parents somehow your home went from being a cozy love nest to a busy, overrun playground!
Change is the only constant in family life
Life has been changing steadily though, since your gorgeous kids made an appearance
- Jobs and lifestyles have morphed to accommodate new demands.
- Your home has expanded to cater to endless kiddie paraphernalia.
- Dinner parties at home have become more like giant playdates
- Shopping sprees are more likely to be for practical storage than a pretty new lamp.
- The colour white got banished from upholstery choices forever.
- Parents come over to stay a whole lot more
- TV room, spare bed and home office seem to be perpetually swapping places
- …the list goes on.
In the years since you became parents somehow your home went from being a cozy love nest to a busy, overrun playground!
This isn’t the home you thought you would have
Thing is you always believed your home would be a vibrant and eclectic space. Not ‘straight out of a magazine’ gorgeous but a space with character and charm, reflecting the joyful life journey you and your family have had.
Before kids, you managed just fine with your clever mashup of “IKEA/affordable smart furniture and one-off accent pieces”. With a little effort you used to be able to dress it up to look cheerful and fun. You loved having friends over and throwing impromptu bashes.
These days you actually feel a bit embarrassed about inviting anyone over.
You are clear it is time for a change
It's been a few years of seeing your home slide into “practical over pretty” terrain. You have decided that it is time to get out of this rut.
You are determined to make your home a more grown up, inviting space not dictated entirely by the needs of children. You want to entertain at home; put up art and accessories that bring joy; finally get the more expensive furniture you have held back on for fear the kids will damage it.
Most of all though you yearn for a home that feels more uniquely yours, an extension of your bright personality.
What you need is a trusted expert to guide you
The truth is this isn’t something you can do on your own. You both agree that it is time to spend a bit to spruce up your home, but a million decisions and changes would need to be made and you don’t really know where to start other than going on a pinterest frenzy. Despite a healthy budget you don’t feel confident to find suitably stylish options of furniture and accessories for all the spaces that need updating, or to pull a cohesive look together for each room.
You wish you had a trusted expert who could guide you in making decisions (without constantly second guessing yourself) and show you exactly how to make every part of your home both stylish and practical.
And who can weave your unique personality into every single design decision so that you don’t just feel happy in your home, you feel proud of it.
That trusted expert? You just found her.
