Not everyone is meant to be a minimalist.

Some people love their things—and that’s okay.
Our job is to help it feel intentional, not overwhelming.

This pretty girl wanted to be part of the action today but watching all of the kitchen organization happening really wore her out! Once she knew her dog food wasn’t moving she was good to go. #2026

About a month ago, a client reached out asking if we could help her 85-year-old mother-in-law get settled into a new condo in DC while she recovered in Boston after a serious fall.

She had been adamant about not moving before the fall, which made this transition especially delicate. Our goal was to create a space that felt familiar and comforting — even though she couldn’t be here for the process.

We coordinated the move, carefully selected meaningful pieces from her townhome in Arnold, and set up her new condo with family photos, medals, memories from decades of ballroom dancing and even her Christmas tree.

She moved in on Tuesday and here is what she had to say!
“There aren’t enough superlative words!”

Such a great show last night. I love being able to record live music and relive the magic again and again after the concert. This would have been a game changer back in the day when I went to hundreds of concerts.

This is how we celebrate a big office move!
