Every month, I find myself collecting little moments, ideas, and pieces of beauty that spark something new. Some come from my sketchbook, some from my home, some from travels… and some just from paying a little more attention to the everyday.

This is a small gathering of what's inspiring me right now.

I loved this so much, I’m already planning for next year! Will you be here?

You’re holding a fresh, warm croissant in one hand (drool) and a little notebook in the other because at this point you’ve given up trying to tuck your ideas away…Paris keeps handing you new ones, and your new friends have encouraged you to write them down!

Every time I go to Paris, I tell myself I’m going to spend most of my time in the flea markets. And I do! You know I could dig through old papers and vintage treasures for days on end. 

But the funny thing is… Paris always has other plans 😂🙈

I walked into a local boutique a few days ago that was all decorated for the holidays and couldn’t help but let out a little sigh and think, “Remember when that’s how we ALL shopped?” 

Everyone knows I’m a flea-market girl through and through. Give me a brocante, a pile of old papers, a stack of portraits, or a crate of

So if you’re pulling out the bins too, here’s your gentle reminder: you don’t need to buy all new things or make it look like anyone else’s. Start with what you love, and let the rest unfold.

It’s so easy to talk ourselves out of something before we even begin, isn’t it? A new idea, a business dream, a trip that feels a little too “big”.

As I thought about how many faces have come through our doors this month, I was reminded that these are the moments I dreamed of when we designed this house! I imagined our space being used for connection, laughter, and creativity. It’s why we were so intentional with how we built (and styled) it. Not to make it perfect, but to make it open.

I’m so excited to share that my favorite new tradition is back, and you’re invited! My annual Lucy’s Holiday Market & House Tour is officially on the calendar for December 6, 2025, and I’d love for you to come.

So I started dreaming… what if I could?

That’s how Inspired Trips came to life 🤗

So here’s my little nudge: dress cute just because. Use the pretty dishes. Make everyday life feel worth celebrating.

Slow decorating isn’t about waiting forever — it’s about waiting for the right things. It’s about honoring your space, your story, and your style. It’s about creating rooms that feel lived in, loved, and layered with meaning.

The best design moments happen when plans change.

I was set on stone floors… then I found old fencing milled into planks. Now Connor’s office feels warm, moody, and full of story.

What’s the most unexpected material you’d use in your home?
