Who knew building a home would spark a full-blown obsession with interior design? Certainly not me!
As I immersed myself in the world of scale, color theory, and spatial planning, something remarkable happened. These design principles weren’t just transforming my living space - they were offering fresh perspectives on life itself.
I’ve always believed that everything is connected, but nothing has been so clear to me as when I was deciding on what color to paint my dining room and how that was a room that represented a part of myself that I don’t often express.
Lesson after lesson revealed itself as I chose lighting, sizes, and even art. Could it be that the secret to a well-designed life can be found in interior design?
Suddenly, selecting the perfect paint color became a reflection of setting the tone for my days.
Creating focal points in a room translated to highlighting what truly matters in life.
And the art of leaving negative space? It revealed volumes about the value of downtime in my packed schedule.
This journey from blueprints to “life prints” has been nothing short of transformative.
That’s why I'm thrilled to share my top 5 life lessons gleaned from this unexpected adventure in home design in this week’s podcast.
Who knows, your next HGTV binge might just spark some serious life insights.

The Art of Personal Space Planning
The best rooms have something to say about the people who live in them.
~ David Hicks
Your living space is a canvas for your inner world. A thoughtfully designed home does more than provide comfort – it becomes a reflection of your personality, values, and aspirations.
When you create spaces that truly resonate with your authentic self, you craft a visual narrative of who you are and who you’re becoming. This alignment between your surroundings and identity enhances self-awareness, boosts confidence, and allows you to navigate your daily life with a stronger sense of purpose.
Tomorrow, choose one area of your home and consider what it says about you. With gentle awareness, reflect on how this space represents an aspect of your personality or a value you hold dear. If it doesn’t, ask yourself what might be changed to better reflect your true self.
