Let's talk lighting!

You can have beautiful furniture, the perfect rug, and gorgeous artwork, but the wrong lighting can throw off the entire space! I'm not just talking about how much light a fixture gives off. I'm talking about tqhe style, size, placement, and how it complements everything else in the room.
A beautiful chandelier or pendant can be the statement piece you didn't even know your space needed!

Bigger and bolder doesn't always mean better. Sometimes, a simple, elegant fixture makes just as much of an impact. In this week's Aesthetics Admirers: The Home Edition, we're going Beyond the Glow: How to Choose Statement Lighting for Every Room. I'm sharing tips on selecting the right lighting for your dining room, kitchen, breakfast nook, living room, bedroom, and entryway, plus some of my favorite Amazon lighting finds! Whether ether you're building, renovating, or just ready for a little refresh, don't overlook the lighting. It can make all the difference!

First impressions matter! And your entryway sets the tone for the rest of your home. We spend so much time decorating our living rooms, bedrooms, and dining rooms that sometimes the foyer gets overlooked. But it's one of the first spaces you and your guests see! And no, you don't need a grand entrance to make a statement.

A beautiful mirror, statement console table, artwork, warm lighting, and a few thoughtfully selected accessories can completely transform the space. The key is creating a look that feels welcoming, intentional, and reflective of your personal style. Because a beautiful home should make an impression from the moment you walk through the door!

In this week's Aesthetics Admirers: The Home Edition, I'm sharing First Impressions Matter: How to Design a Foyer That Makes a Statement.
We're talking statement pieces, layering textures, balancing finishes, and making your entryway both beautiful and functional.

I'm talking statement lighting, beautiful artwork, decorative mirrors, bold patterns, and those finishing touches that bring everything together.

In this week's Aesthetics Admirers: The Home Edition, I'm sharing The Art of Statement Décor: How to Make Your Home Look More Luxurious, along with some of my favorite Amazon décor finds!

I don’t usually do event design because interiors are definitely my lane but for Habitat, I made an exception!

As a Board Member and the Event Director for Habitat for Humanity of Lancaster County's inaugural Hard Hats & High Heels, a fundraising event, I had a hand in just about every part of bringing the event together, from marketing and the overall design to day-of details and everything in between.

Huge thank you to our board members and volunteers who helped bring the vision to life the day of the event, putting everything in place and packing it all back up while following all of my little instructions. Brewer Blooms brought the floral vision to life, and Eventfully Yours created the backdrop that finished everything off perfectly.

Definitely not adding event decorating to my service list, 😂 but I loved using my design eye for something that means so much to me and our community.

The right lighting can change the entire room.
A beautiful fixture does more than provide light, it can create a focal point, add warmth and texture, introduce contrast, and make a space feel more intentional. But choosing the right statement lighting isn’t just about finding something pretty. Scale, ceiling height, shape, placement, and finish all matter.

In the latest Aesthetics Admirers: The Home Edition, I’m sharing my designer tips for choosing the right fixture for every room from chandeliers and pendants to sconces and semi-flush lighting.
