This room is very special to me. It was the first room I walked into during our first showing, and the leaded glass windows completely did me in. I painted this room myself (Upward by ) while the rest of the first floor was a complete disaster under construction.

I’ve iterated more than a time or two (sorry, Brian😬), but I finally feel like I achieved the look I was going for: classic, layered, timeless, but FUN. It’s filled with my favorite colors and fabrics, and I think that’s what a room should be. It’s the first place I go in the morning (if my baby doesn’t wake me up first!), with a cup of coffee and whatever book is sitting on our ottoman.

Rookie of the year award goes to my sweet, silly, 9 mo bebe who has come along for more real estate appointments than I ever could have imagined. We have the best childcare setup in the world but this business is unpredictable and often means nights and weekends and we’re just figuring it out as we go!! Grateful for a career that gives me flexibility and mostly for this little guy who has gotten so used to napping on the go 🙃

This kitchen was never meant to be grand.
Just a sweet, hardworking space tucked inside our 1928 Tudor. Instead of changing the footprint, we made small but meaningful updates—taller cabinets, better storage, a little more function without losing the cozy cottage charm I fell in love with.

It’s very Nancy Meyers in spirit—warm, inviting, a little imperfect. These days it’s covered in crumbs and fingerprints, and honestly, that feels right. Not big, not small—just the heart of our home. ♥️

As the spring market (finally) seems to have come to a close, I’m reflecting back on some very special moments with my buyer clients over the last few months. The final walkthrough: AKA that last look at a home before getting the keys! What isn’t pictured…are the countless offers that get submitted before finding “the one.” There were many chilly spring weekends packed with marathon showings, followed by tight deadlines and quick decisions for my clients, only for me to receive a call from the listing agent that the sellers went with another offer (that was probably cash and $75k over asking 🤯). Sharing difficult news with my clients never gets easier, but across the board I can say that every NO in this case led to the best possible YES. The ups and downs in real estate are inevitable, but reminding myself of these moments is all the perspective I need. Cheers to all for trusting the process ♥️

🥂 to Jimmy & Lisa, Downers Grove’s newest residents! This was a special one, getting to help a college friend and his awesome wife find their perfect home in the western suburbs. We toured the property on a cold, snowy Saturday afternoon in January…not the most pleasant time to be house shopping tbh 🥶

It most definitely paid off, with a leap day closing for extra luck. Selfishly, Brian & I are so happy to have you guys just a few towns over!! Cheers to you two and many memories ahead 🫶🏻
