PRODUCT REVIEW | My life with Cedar Fever just got a whole lot better

Disclaimer from Sara: Molekule provided us with products and compensation for the review of their products. The post itself reflects my feelings on this awesome product and we are not otherwise affiliated with Molekule in any way.

So often when we go into designing a home, we are working to combine beauty with function. We are all set in our ways and everyone’s got their thing they can’t compromise on when it comes to designing their home. One person might require a sound machine to sleep or a dishwasher on the lefthand side rather than the right. There can really be so many peculiarities to the way we are used to living our day-to-day lives. And sometimes those peculiarities can come with ugly home decor side effects. So, when we are introduced to a product that not only solves a major daily life problem AND is beautiful, well we as designers get really excited.

YOU GOT THIS | Marie Kondo for what?

NEW YEAR, NEW ME. We’ve all heard that one before right? The start of a new year is always an exciting time. It’s an opportunity to hit refresh and make positive changes that will (hopefully!) carry on throughout the year. Health and fitness goals always seem to be at the top of the resolution lists, but your home wants some love too! And even though we’re sure you’re still going strong with those goals you set on January 1, it’s never too late to get back on track or add to your list of goals. So why not make this the year to get organized and create a home you truly love? We’re taking a cue from Marie Kondo and only bringing things that “spark joy” about our homes into 2019. In case you’ve been living under a proverbial rock, she’s got a new show on Netflix that will change your mentality on home organization! So we’re only a couple of weeks into the year, so why not make some changes at home that will last longer than the month of January.

ASK A DESIGNER | What’s it really like to work with an interior designer?

Yep. That’s a question we get. A lot. It’s part of the trade. I’m down to answer it whenever, wherever. At Disneyland waiting for It’s a Small World. At the grocery store in the cereal aisle. In my kitchen over a glass of wine with friends. I answer it in many iterations all the time. But sometimes I don’t feel it can truly encompass what you can expect while working with a designer. So here I am to just brain dump on you what to expect when you hire an interior designer.
