Today is the day! I’m so excited to finally share what I’ve been working on behind the scenes. It’s something I’ve wanted to create for a long time, and I can’t think of a better way to share it first than here, with all of you who have been following along over the years.

What is it?
The Livable Luxury Formula is an app built around everything I’ve learned from 15+ years of designing and renovating homes on a real budget. Think of it as a personalized roadmap to help you pull your home together, make confident design decisions, and always know what to do next.
Over the years I’ve shared hundreds of projects, tutorials, and design tips here on the blog, and I answer design questions in my DMs every single day. I’ve always wished there was a way to bring all of that knowledge together into one place—not just as a collection of lessons, but as a personalized experience built around your home, your projects, and your goals. This app is exactly that.
What you’ll learn
Inside the app, you’ll discover my complete step-by-step process for creating a home that feels timeless, layered, and thoughtfully designed within your budget.
You’ll learn how to build a room like a designer, create cohesion throughout your home, add architectural character, source high-end looks for less, layer textures, colors and finishes with confidence, and master the small details that make a space feel collected rather than decorated.
Along the way, I’ll also share insider info on the best sourcing strategies, budget-saving tips, DIY tutorials, where to save and where to splurge.
Personalized Design Coach
One of my favorite features is your personal design coach—an AI coach trained on my specific design philosophy, renovation experience, and decision-making process.
Upload photos of your room, inspiration images, paint colors, finishes, furniture, or products to get personalized feedback, brainstorm ideas, troubleshoot design challenges, or simply ask questions whenever you need help.
It’s like having me there to guide you through each decision along the way 😉
Interactive Daily Lessons
Your lessons are customized to your project, timeline, and pace.
Each day you’ll receive a short briefing, an interactive lesson, and an actionable challenge designed to help you make real progress in just 10–15 minutes.
Room-by-Room Action Plans
Receive personalized action plans for your room, guidance with layouts and floor plans, budgeting help, product recommendations, DIY support, and organized to-do lists to keep your project moving forward.
My Complete Design Toolbox
Get access to my library of in-depth design guides, DIY tutorials, retailer lists, paint color resources, sourcing guides, product recommendations, and the exact products and finishes I use in my own homes.
The Curriculum
The Livable Luxury Formula follows the same process I use in every renovation, broken down into eight modules that adapt to your project, budget, and timeline.
