DIY Wreath
We are kicking off this holiday season while foraging the backyard for holiday decor. From Creeping Juniper to Camellia, to Indian Hawthorn, and Yews. We are mixing these foliage textures while crafting a pretty wreath. It's hard to believe that the holiday season is here. In 2020, every moment seemed to linger a little longer ...

Bathroom Art
I love adding unique design pieces to a space. When choosing the finishing elements for the primary bathroom at #casacancado, I focused on materiality and textures. From the concrete towel hooks to the custom burlap artwork, each piece featured here has its own purpose. In some places, a design element will blend in creating a ...

Replacing the Exterior Door
Oh, the weekend projects. They seem to be happening more and more in 2020 as we shift our routines and take things slower. In an attempt to revive our exterior front door without expending too much money, I sourced a slab door and installed it ourselves. This door design reflects the exact look I wanted ...

Custom Floating Cabinet
I have designed quite a few bathrooms this year. And in each bathroom design, I access it's functionality first.

Planter Makeover
Styling is experimenting. And around #casacancado there is always a new experiment brewing in my laboratory. While I am always making changes and small design tweaks, my overall goal has not been for more. Lately, I am more interested in having less.

DIY Vintage-looking Vase
I love adding natural materials to anything decor at #casacancado. Stone, wood, wool. The beauty of raw materials is something that I am always drawn to.

Clay Therapy
Think about it, going through a happy quarantine is all about finding your outlets. This change of pace is a great time to re-frame your state of mind and find ways to get inspired and motivated.
