The Modern Willow Aesthetic

The Modern Willow aesthetic is timeless, natural, and refined in a way that feels inviting and grounded. These curated images highlight the inspiration and design direction that guide my work.



The Styling Process

Every interior styling project begins with a vision board that guides color, texture, and flow—setting the foundation for your design. The end result is a blend of modern simplicity, organic materials, and inviting warmth, creating a space that feels effortlessly you.


The Fixer-Upper That Started It All

Project: 1970's Fixer-Upper — Complete Renovation & Occupied Staging

Design Style: Transitional

In 2021, my humble fixer-upper became the spark behind Modern Willow. What began as a simple renovation quickly evolved into a full design and staging transformation — selecting finishes, shaping color palettes, and reimagining how each room could feel welcoming, functional, and market-ready. From sourcing materials to refining every detail, this project demonstrated the impact of thoughtful design paired with intentional staging. The result was a home that shifted from overlooked to unforgettable, selling in just five days.

We’re currently staging and styling new homes and will be adding more portfolio images soon.

This homeowner needed a few key rooms refreshed before listing. In the bathroom, I chose a soft neutral paint color to brighten the space and added simple, intentional accessories to create a cleaner, more inviting feel. In the kitchen, clearing the countertops established a fresh foundation, then I layered in curated accessories, rugs, and new towels to bring warmth and balance. For the multi‑purpose room, I partnered with the homeowner to reorganize the space into a clean, functional office — styled to highlight its full potential during the sale.

For this project below, I created a series of vignettes throughout the home, blending a few of the homeowners’ existing pieces with thoughtfully curated accessories. Each vignette was designed to bring warmth, balance, and intention to the space — helping buyers immediately connect with the home and envision how it could live and feel.

Why Vignettes Matter in Home Staging

Vignettes play a quiet but powerful role in how a home is experienced. These small, intentional moments help buyers slow down, connect with the space, and imagine how life could unfold there. Rather than simply filling a room, vignettes bring clarity, warmth, and a sense of purpose to each area of the home. In my staging work, I create vignettes that blend the homeowner’s existing pieces with thoughtfully curated accessories. Each one is designed to guide the eye, highlight architectural features, and add a layer of lived‑in comfort without feeling personal or cluttered. Whether it’s a styled bedside table, a welcoming kitchen corner, or a calm moment in the living room, these details help buyers feel the home — not just see it. Vignettes elevate the overall presentation, create emotional resonance, and make every room feel intentional and buyer‑ready. They’re often the difference between a space that’s simply viewed and one that’s truly remembered.
