My Five 2024 Design Trends

y’all like really love these every year. last year’s continues to be a big hit!

So many predictions out there already – some of which I totally agree with and some I’m on the fence about. Either way it will be a beautiful year for design and dare I say color?

Here’s what I got:

1 // Elevated Toe Kicks

we’re implementing more fun and design centric toe kicks into our WYC Designs projects for 2024, so I’m excited to see where this trend takes us. Brass and marble are usual suspects but other finishes like stone and steel could be really cool too.

2 // Seeing red

Okay maybe more like burgundy – but in cabinet color, tile color and plenty of shades of it within natural stone and wallpaper prints. Not sure if I’m daring enough – but I love it with fashion ๐Ÿ™‚

3 // Tiled Counter tops

It’s not something I would do frequently – but I love how Far Studio and devol played with it. It’s a classic nod to grandma’s old yellow tile counter tops but in a new fresh way. In the right context it can be very cool and unexpected. What is your take?

4 // Interior Cladding

but think in steel, brass and exterior stone veneer. Done of the days of simple drywall walls everywhere. Adding plaster and limewash finishes are here to stay, but statement walls in fluted trims and timber are making waves.

5 // Latice over Scallop

I loveeee a good scallop and they have had a serious moment, but the lattice print is going to make a major comeback. We all love a beautiful lattice window or interior transom, but also in classic marble tile patterns, rug patterns and wallpaper coverings.

10 years with you.

all I know is that 10 years isn’t nearly enough.


you, from the very beginning, turned my world upside down and showed me a life and a love that I wasn’t even sure was capable. my one true love story, as cliche as it sounds. ten years in and it’s all still true. I love you and this family we created with my whole heart.

Hereโ€™s to all the years my lifetime will muster.

So in love with you, Nick Gernert. Happy anniversary!


Happy 40th anniversary to my parents!

Happy 50th anniversary to my in-laws!

Our Simple Holiday Home Tour

As I looked back on holidays past, I do think we tailored it back just a smidge but it still feels special and magical all the same. Proof that adding some greenery, mini trees, homemade gingerbread houses and sprinkles of bows and lights can make such a difference.

I’m also big into re-using a lot of our decor year after year to create memories and traditions with the boys. There will always be new and trending ways to decorate your house for the holidays but to me it’s a balance. The dome toupee has become one of those staples and I love it so much.
