White Peony

The photos are back!

I wanted approachable but ready to work! (Which, by the way, message me and I'll send you a link for your free 20 min consultation!)

I almost didn't book the session. The idea of having "professional photos" was freaking me out. I know it's weird since I'm on social media, but it felt different. I came up with a million excuses to cancel but I was brave and did it anyway.

Before I felt 100% ready.

I'm really glad I went through with it.

Take this as your sign to go for it. Don't wait until you're 100% ready because that day will probably never come. Get most of the way there and take the leap.

Life's too short.

(Or course, Charlie kept the mood light with a photo bomb and her own portrait!)

Exciting news! I'm thrilled to announce the launch of White Peony, my interior design business dedicated to creating your personal sanctuary. ✨

After years in the fast-paced, high-stakes world of trauma and emergency general surgery, I understand the profound need for a home that truly restores and rejuvenates. I've poured my passion for design into creating spaces where you can escape the daily chaos and find peace.

Do you ever walk in the door and just feel overwhelmed? Like you're going from one stressful scenario to another? I believe everyone deserves a home that melts away stress and fortifies you for whatever tomorrow brings. That's why I created White Peony.

Let's chat about how to transform your home into your haven. Book your free 20-minute consultation here: https://www.whitepeony.co/

My February so far.

Chilly but lots of warm moments.

Grateful for all of these and so many more.

Autumn is really starting to pop in Napa Valley.

That first picture I noticed when I was driving home one day. I try to be in the moment. Notice beauty. Capture it.

I'm so grateful to live in such a beautiful place.

I'm not sure if you all noticed, but there's Halloween décor appearing in stores.

So I thought it would be a good time to finish my summer décor. Better late than never, I guess.

Are you relishing these last days of summer or just biding your time until autumn?

Hello! So I started a YT channel and I would love it if you checked it out (and maybe even subscribe and binge some?). I'll post the three latest ones here, but feel free to poke around and explore!

Take a tour of the oldest cottage in Napa!

Built in 1870 with so many original details intact, like the old growth redwood stairs and floor upstairs!

In the fourth picture you can see what looks like a fireplace behind the electric one. I have no idea what happened to the chimney; need to research that a bit.

Another detail I love is that when the interior was gutted and redone (new insulation, plumbing, electrical) they saved some of the laths that were behind the plaster walls and used them on the hood.

And I love all the original hardware throughout!

So many more details are in the long form video on my YT channel (same name). It's just under 7 minutes.

What's your favorite detail?
