I wasn’t planning on changing our bedroom color, to be honest. I started working on this space earlier last year, almost at the same time I was designing my room in NYC. The two months before that I was fully immersed in bedroom inspiration, gathering ideas, saving images, thinking about layouts and palettes… and naturally, the itch to finally do something about our bedroom sparked.

It’s that time of year again, and as it’s become a little tradition, I’ve curated a gift guide for everyone on your list. From fancy finds to funny or budget-friendly picks, I’m sure you’ll discover just what you’re looking for.

As my boys have grown, the space has naturally evolved too, so it was time to refresh the room to better fit their style. And of course, like most pre-teens and teens, they wanted LED lights in their bedroom. But it wouldn’t be me if I just stuck them on the wall! So I’m showing you how I installed them in a creative way, so you can try it too.

It’s that time of year to find something special that reminds Mom just how much she means to you. While she deserves to be celebrated every day, this gift guide is full of thoughtful ideas to help make her holiday truly memorable—no matter where she is on her motherhood journey.

There's nothing more satisfying than watching a loved one unwrap a gift you know they'll LOVE. But I also know it can be overwhelming to find something thoughtful for everyone on your list. That's why I've curated the perfect gift guide for everyone in your life.

So…I changed the color in our multipurpose room! I know, I know—why, Valeria? Why are you re-painting again? Well, let’s keep it simple: first, I don’t like to settle for something unless I truly love it; and second, I love change. When I have a new idea, I want to try it out.
