Okay, I know these Sunday Letters have been a little all over the place lately 😅 — but I had to pop into your inbox again this week because I’ve got something I’m so excited to share… and honestly, I just couldn’t wait.
Here’s what’s up there so far (and yes, I saved the best for last, so be sure to scroll all the way 👀):
\n
Shoppable Moodboards
\n
Real spaces I’ve designed, now with clickable links and curated shopping lists so you can bring the look home—without spending hours scrolling.
\n
1) My Dining Room
\n
\n
This one’s extra special because it’s my actual dining room, featuring wallpaper from my Chasing Paper collection. I also included some budget-friendly furniture swaps if you’re recreating the look.
This has been a long time coming, and I’m so excited it’s finally live!
\n
DIY Double Raised Paneling Guide
\n
\n
This is the exact paneling we have in our dining room, and it’s hands-down one of the most asked-about projects I’ve ever shared. I put together a detailed, step-by-step guide with everything you need to try it yourself:
\n
✔️ Tools & materials
\n
✔️ Measurements + how to plan your layout
\n
✔️ Step-by-step instructions (with photos!)
\n
✔️ A custom calculator to take the guesswork out of it
\n
Basically, everything I wish I had when I was figuring it out the first time.
I’m working on more furniture plans next, so if there’s something I’ve built that you’d love to have plans for, hit reply and let me know. I’d love to hear what you want to see next!
\n
And if you end up using anything from this new section, tag me or send a photo my way — I’d love to see 💛

Hi Reader!
Okay, I know these Sunday Letters have been a little all over the place lately 😅 — but I had to pop into your inbox again this week because I’ve got something I’m so excited to share… and honestly, I just couldn’t wait.
