A home is—above all—a frame for the lives lived inside it. All of your shower singing, dinner making, relaxing, and daydreaming occurs within the windows and walls of your space, so we think it ought to be outfitted with an intentionality to match. You see, every choice we make for our home will reflect on the lives lived inside. Why have an oversized countertop? Well, it comes in handy when sharing crudités and conversation with friends. Why those large windows? They capture the sunrise over the mountain every morning and start each day off beautifully. Why bother with such deep tup? Perhaps it’s the perfect spot to plunge after a long day of work.

This home, in particular, has been loved well. There’s tons of character to be found here, and the current owners have created a life they’ve loved inside it. The white walls made a lovely canvas for paintings and photographs. The patio's been an ideal venue for outdoor concerts and all-night talks. The countertop's been the perfect morning coffee stop. Now that the current owners are moving on, this home is primed to become the ideal canvas for its next inhabitants.

The only question is: what will you make it?

There is a moment—quiet, almost imperceptible—when a buyer pulls up, turns off the engine, and looks up at a home for the first time. Before they notice the countertops or the floor plan, before they imagine furniture placement or paint colors, they feel something. That feeling is the first impre...

This is a love letter about what I do and why I do it. I first met Scott & Chris just over a year ago. At the time, they were living in another state, one in which they’d loved but had, over time and for personal reasons, grown disillusioned with. It was high time for a fresh start. When we first...
