Fall is the season of cozy sweaters, comfort food, and… realizing your home might not be holiday-ready. But here’s the truth most people don’t realize: Fall is actually the best time to begin a home project- especially if you want to enjoy a calm, beautiful, intentional home in the new year. Whether you're updating a single room or finally tackling that layout that’s never quite worked, here’s why starting now  sets you up for success.. 1. The Holidays Reveal the Pain Points

The magic of a great design isn’t just in what you see; it’s in what you feel .
