Q: In your opinion, what's the most underrated tool in your toolbox?

Tape measure-I always think you should measure 3x in order to prevent silly mistakes.

Q: Best home purchase for under $100?

Items that make the home a smart home- Alexa, Google, and technology connecting lighting or temperature gauges. 

Q: Tell us about your pet(s).

My daughter has a pet hamster named Pumpkin Spice; she is constantly running around. Amelia loves to carry Pumpkin around in her pocket.

Q: What’s your favorite paint color?

White. There are many shades of white and it is a calming, serene color. I am a very colorful person, so white allows for pops of color.

Q: What are you currently watching?

Love is Blind- I am a hopeful romantic and it is my guilty pleasure.

Q: Favorite room in your home?

My bedroom- it has a giant window and lets in a lot of natural light. It is my relaxed, zen space. 

Q: What home trends are you loving? What styles do you think will emerge in the future?

The healing home trend- I love products that make your home feel comforting and bring healing to your space, such as candles, scents, and plants.

 Q: What do you enjoy about being at a home show?

Teaching on a larger scale, and impacting more people. 

Q: What’s in your bag or purse?

I always carry a fanny pack- Lip balm, sanitizer, wallet and phone.

Q: What is an outdated home trend you hope doesn’t come back?

Painted accent walls- unless it’s textural, wallpaper, or the accent as the 5th wall.
