Hey friends! In this episode, I’m diving into a crucial but often overlooked step in designing your home—concepts. And when I say "we," I mean me and Samson, who insists on making an appearance today! A concept is just an idea—imperfect, unfiltered, but essential. Whether you’re dreaming of reworking an older home that no longer fits today’s lifestyle or tweaking a brand-new space that just doesn’t flow, the first step is simply getting your ideas out of your head. No judgment, no overthinking—just sketch, jot, or even cut out pieces of paper to visualize how your home could work for you.  

Flow is everything. How do you move through your home? Does your kitchen feel disconnected from your entertaining spaces? Are you constantly bumping into awkward walls? By mapping out spaces in the simplest way—no walls, no measurements, just function—you get a clear idea of what needs to change. And trust me, action creates clarity! So grab a pen, let your creativity loose, and start imagining your dream space.
