🎨 Color feeling chaotic? Here’s the design secret that pulls it all together: the 60-30-10 rule. It’s my go-to for turning “meh” rooms into magic.

💡Here’s how it works:
✨ 60% sets the vibe (think walls or big furniture)
✨ 30% adds depth (rugs, curtains, accent chairs)
✨ 10% brings the wow (pillows, art, that sassy vase you love)

It’s the easiest way to make your space feel curated without the color overwhelm.

Not sure where to start? Drop me a photo or idea—let’s find your perfect palette!

Ever bought a home (or know someone who did?) only to be surprised by what popped up down the street a year later?

Today’s value matters, but smart buyers (with the help of their savvy agents) know to look deeper. Future value is where the real ROI lives. That means paying attention to zoning, neighborhood trends, and especially here in Central Oregon, keeping a close eye on proposed development plans.

That’s where I come in. I don’t just help you find the right home today… I help you understand what the future might look like around it.

Because real estate isn’t just about where you live, it’s about how your investment grows.

Watching my first baby head off to senior prom tonight… my heart is bursting with pride, nostalgia, and a million memories. Still can’t believe I get to be the mom of this amazing young man. So proud of the person he’s become 🥰 These three have been thick as thieves since elementary school… still cracking jokes, still showing up for each other, just a little taller and better dressed 😆
