Gonna get a little philosophical on you... but hear me out lol! I've been reflecting on the 'stories' we tell ourselves.
Whether it's a common phrase like 'Getting started is the hardest part' or a story of a lived experience... 'proof' that makes a phrase true. We also all have experiences in our lives that have 'blown our mind' or completely shifted the way we saw something and it's impossible to 'unsee' it, right?! Even though we've had those 'perspective changing' moments - they tend to be rare, they're not a normal everyday experience....but what if it was?

Ever feel like a broken record having to repeat “Don’t do…” and “Please try…” over and over? Sighh...usually takes asking several times for our children to do that one thing. The good news is that you can use repetition to your advantage by training your children to remember where items belong ;)
It also happens to be the first of three ways to encourage your children to help with cleaning: Ask with tasks rather than commands. This means instead of saying “Pick up your toys and brush your teeth!” you say: “Please put the books in the bookshelf, the dolls in the dollhouse and the blocks in the basket”. You’ll still have to repeat yourself but at least you’re repeating information you want them to memorize! 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?
