Design Reflections
As soon as Christmas is over, we go into a time of reflection on the year that has passed and goals for the year ahead. 2020 started off busy, juggling family and client projects, but in March, everything changed as we pivoted to a virtual environment to accommodate county-wide orders to shelter in place. As months went on, as we integrated back to face-to-face client work, we found that many clients were needing new design inspirations after living differently in their homes. Although this year has brought many challenges, one thing that we have grown to love with new appreciation is living close to each other and working together. As we count down the last days of the year, we reflect on the simple ways we found joy this year and look forward to inspiring your design goals for the year ahead.
We wish you all a Happy New Year!

Celebrating Taneal’s Birthday in Tahoe.
We used a pop of pink to bring some cheer to cold January days.

Need quick themed table décor? Utilize wrapping paper as a table runner!
Mixing pink with earth tones brought warmth to our Galentine’s Tea Party.
I love creating designs for my children and seeing how it inspires them to use their imagination. These Valentine’s flamingos were a hit with my kids.
MARCH
We tried something new this year and created our first balloon arch!
St. Patrick’s Day decorations can be subtle and classy with rainbow link streamers and gold accents.

We brought Hawaii into our home to celebrate a special birthday. Bright colors made everything more festive as we welcomed spring and celebrated Capri.

Mother’s Day decorations can be simple and sweet so the main attraction can be the women you’re celebrating.

Jordan and Aubrielle’s Rehearsal Dinner
We all have been dreaming of travel this year, so a travel theme fit 2020 like a glove!
A lot of things had to change this year, including plans for a big wedding. We were able to accommodate the shift from a large reception in the woods to a small intimate dinner in Kim’s backyard without sacrificing the bride’s vision.
SEPTEMBER
We love to bring tablecloths and other small accessories along when we are traveling to make our rentals feel extra special.
Our little Wynsor turned 2 with a kitty cat and puppy dog party.
When throwing parties for littles, make sure to accommodate the target age group. A table cloth they can draw on kept them entertained, while Cocoa Puffs cereal in dog bowls made for fun and edible decorations.

The bats were a Halloween Highlight
We live in an area where October generally has warm nights. We use our outdoor spaces as much as possible and take advantage of the weather the bay area has to offer.
NOVEMBER
Soup and Pie Party keeps everyone warm and cozy as chilly fall weather settles in.
Utilizing the fallen leaves outside to add color to our Thanksgiving Dinner table.
