– CREATING A DIY BACK TO SCHOOL SPACE –
As the summer winds down and the school year approaches, it’s time to start thinking about getting your home ready for the back-to-school season. Creating an organized and functional space can make a world of difference in reducing stress and ensuring a smooth transition from lazy summer days to busy school routines. How can you prepare your home for the school year while still keeping your home trendy and aesthetically pleasing? We’re giving you a few ways you can use interior design to enhance your child’s focus and back to school preparation.
Color-coded storage
Use color-coded storage bins, baskets, or folders to help children easily identify their belongings and keep them organized.
Inspiring study areas
Create an inspiring study area by adding motivational quotes, artwork, or a vision board to encourage creativity and productivity.
Comfortable seating
Provide comfortable seating options in the homework station or study area to ensure your children are comfortable while working.
Personalized spaces
Allow your children to personalize their study areas with their favorite decorations or artwork to make it feel more like their own space.
Functional decor
Incorporate decor items that serve a dual purpose, such as wall-mounted organizers or cork-boards for displaying artwork and important reminders.
By incorporating interior design elements into your back-to-school preparation, you can create a welcoming and motivating environment for your children to thrive in. Happy back to school shopping!

Summers in Devon, England
I’ve been coming to Devon, where my husband is from, for over 20 years. My kids, now 17 and 13 (gasp) have spent summers here their entire lives. Devon is the epitome of the English countryside, located in the Southwest of England known for its beautiful landscapes, amazing coastlines, quaint villages, and of course the Devonshire cream tea. When people ask, I often describe it as the shire in Middle Earth – idyllic, picturesque, and full of magic. Here are just a few of the ways we spend our time here.
Coastal Walk
I never miss a day-long walk along the coastal public footpath, which takes us along the gorgeous coastline and through seaside villages.
Wild Horses on the Dartmoor
A drive on the moor on the way to a pub lunch will surely be met with wild horses that live on Dartmoor. Occasionally we will stop and give them an apple to munch on!
Cream Tea
A visit to Devon can’t be complete without at least one encounter with this afternoon tradition. There is no better combination for your taste buds than this: clotted cream and strawberry jam on an English scone, along with a sip of black tea with a splash of milk.
Endless Beach Days
Devon has some of the most stunning beaches in the world, and many of our days are spent enjoying the sea and sand.
A Dip in the River
There are many rivers and streams around us. We have our favorite spot on the River Avon where we set up for a picnic along the rocks and lush greenery.
Greeting Animal Friends
From chickens and goats, to sheep and alpaca – a visit with animal friends on the fields is always a highlight.
Planning a trip to Southwest England? I’d love to chat with you about more of my favorite activities!
