There was a time where this was my dream.
This is an airbnb we stayed at in March. Staying there I realized that I no longer crave that picture perfect look the way I used to. At first, I was ‘oooing and ahhing’ at the minimal decor it kinda felt like walking through an Instagram interior account lol but then it hit me, I wouldn’t want to live here. For vacation it’s perfect but for living I want my home - even though it drives me crazy 😜 fingerprints, cat hair and all. Our home reflects us 💗 The items we’ve collected and cherish bring joy because of the meaning and memories in them. Our possessions absorb and reflect back the energy of appreciation we have for them. Even struggling to keep up a basic state of tidiness, all of that brings energy into your home. It’s makes you the creator, the owner (even if you rent!) When you love your home it loves you right back!

Triangles, triangles, our eyes like 🔺 Whether styling a table, a room or taking photos, look for ways to arrange objects into a triangle or pyramid shape. Whether styling a table, a room or taking photos, look for ways to arrange objects into a triangle or pyramid shape. In this photo the blue curtains, blue paintings, and blue bed form a triangle. Look back at my post a few weeks ago of the same room from a different angle.
There’s also a triangle there of red toys and books. 😁 Even more exciting is to look around your own home and observe triangles there or if there are things that can be arranged in triangles and try it out! Also, we've the perfect spot to hang our underwater paintings! I love how it ties with other colors in the room 😍And what a great redesign tip! Experiment with rearranging certain colorful objects in a room can dramatically change the way colors work together. If you want to dive more into playroom styling and decor ideas. Check out my Playroom Redesign workbook. Both are needed but the latter is rarely talked about, only for iconic designers/brands BUT I invented a way to make this ‘icon/signature style approach’ accessible to everyone 🙌🏽🤯 because we’re all unique and shouldn’t our style be too? Uniquely beautiful to you, YAS! 🥰
Really it’s your intuition doing the work… I just packaged the concept in a teachable format 🤓 Your Aesthetic Style is a combination of design elements & principles that JUMPS out at you, as uniquely beautiful 😍 It’s the reason why you’re drawn to certain prints, textures, lines etc. Most of us have one easily recognizable element or principle 👀 but it’s the second or third part of the combo that’s harder to find. 🫣 I got you though 💪🏽The YAS Quiz is designed specifically to find your unique E&P combo so that you can start styling intentionally with it. Once you recognize it & how to apply it. It’s a game changer 🤩 The creative inspiration just keeps flowing. That’s my favorite part. 👏🏽💗 If you’re new here, aesthetic style is a unique combination of design elements & principles (E&P) that consistently attract us. Whether it's a living room, nature landscape, or a coffee mug if it has your unique E&P combination in it, it will STAND OUT more to you. When you start using your aesthetic style intentionally it becomes an amazing tool to style, edit and curate with sustainably! Want to learn how to find your aesthetic style? Click here to read more. It’s tricky cuz each item has it’s own aesthetic style. Fashion designers are excellent at this 🎯the secret is remembering that
➡️ Versatility stems from vision - this is why on runways a fashion designer can have a collection with lots of diverse outfits BUT what brings them together is the overarching vision - the designer’s aesthetic style and their theme/story for that specific collection. 📸 So how do you apply this when choosing outfits at home? Rather than follow a set list of style rules ❌ Use your aesthetic style as an overarching tool to tie together diverse items in a way that feels personal to you. 🙌🏽💗 If you’re new here, aesthetic style is a unique combination of design elements & principles (E&P) that consistently attract us.

It’s hard to love the home you live in when cleaning feels never ending… Taking time to pause and enjoy the area (even if it’s just a corner!) that’s been newly cleaned is important! Drink a tea, smell the roses, snap a photo…whatever helps you savor that moment just a little 😚
It can feel like being on a hamster wheel cuz we don’t pause enough. We clean one area and jump to the next one while we still have energy and time. But taking a break really helps us appreciate our hard work and the home we have. Honestly it can feel like a losing battle because yes there’s always more we could be doing…but ironically focusing on that drains the energy we need. 😱 I noticed this guilt cycle in myself and it’s a big reason why I created the YAS Method - specifically the Aesthetic Style Quiz. It’s a simple visual way to shift focus away from all the ‘shoulds and don’ts’ and focus on the intuitive sense of style that we all have and are already using, often unconsciously. Tapping into your creativity is a much more inspiring way to get energy and also keep you motivated to make home a place you truly love and that reflects you. 💗 If you’re new here, aesthetic style is a unique combination of design elements & principles (E&P) that consistently attract us.
