I recently had the wonderful opportunity to sit down virtually with former NBA Legend and Business Powerhouse Charles D. Smith, when he interviewed me on his Hidden Gems podcast show. We discussed the impact of mentorship and coaching, the self-doubt that sometimes seeps into an entrepreneur's mind, and what success truly means.

Many thanks to Podcast Business Network for selecting me this year as your Professional of the Year, and to Charles D. Smith for honoring me with this experience!

We had the pleasure of transforming a newly purchased house built in 2000 into an elegant comfort retreat for our client who wished to upsize their home. This home needed some serious TLC, and we were excited to breathe new life into it. 🏡✨

Here's what we did:

🛋️ Great Room: Furnished with plush sofas and chairs perfect for sinking into while watching TV or entertaining guests.

🍷 Award-Winning Bar and Wine Cellar: A stunning space to showcase and enjoy fine wines.

📚 Primary Suite Lounge Area: A cozy nook for sipping nightcaps and enjoying a good book.

From relaxing in the Great Room to savoring moments in the wine cellar, every corner of this home now radiates warmth and sophistication.

It’s always a good idea to brush up on lighting tips when you embark on lighting your living or workspace. Ideally, illuminating your space with the 3 basic types of lighting – Ambient, Task, and Accent – is the way to go. 💡

And knowing how many watts will sufficiently light a room and the correct size of your fixture will make the selection process much easier!

Create spaces that inspire and uplift.

Your furry friend just got back from a romp outside and decided to get cozy on your sofa, muddy paws and all! 🐾🛋️ Imagine cleaning up not just mud, but also Diet Dr. Pepper, food, and even tomato soup (yes, these all have happened to me!) from your furniture without breaking a sweat. With today's Performance Fabrics, that's a reality!

These revolutionary fabrics, including those treated with crypton and other new technology sealants, are designed to handle the messiest of situations with ease. Spilled coffee all over the couch? Kids' snacks and spills? No problem! Liquids simply bead up on the surface, ready to be wiped away with no stains left behind. It's truly that simple and incredible! ☕✨

Performance fabrics are not just for your sofas and chairs, either. They can be used on pillows, floor coverings, and tables to add a soft touch and break up hard surfaces, making them perfect for any busy household. Whether you have pets, kids, or love entertaining guests, performance fabrics will keep your home looking pristine and stylish without the stress.

Always love sharing a completed client project. 🎨✨ Our clients loved their historic landmark home but wanted more color and personality. So, we infused it with cozy, sophisticated furnishings, jewel tones, and whimsical touches that make every corner inviting and unique. 🏡💎

After completing our work together, our client shared: “Rebecca listened to what we wanted and pushed us to think outside our comfort zone. The finished product is something we couldn’t have done on our own. We get compliments all the time. Rebecca is fantastic!”

Transforming this historic home into a vibrant aven was pure joy. Ready to infuse your home with personality and warmth? Let’s create something magical together!

You can view everything we’ve done as part of this project on the GOGO website!

Ever wondered how the spaces we live in impact our mental health? At GOGO Design Group, we believe that the right interior design can be a game-changer for your well-being. 🏡💖

Here’s why:

🖼️ Color Therapy: Colors can influence your mood and energy levels. Soft blues can promote calm, while vibrant yellows can boost your happiness.

🌿 Nature Indoors: Bringing in plants and natural elements can reduce stress and improve your mood. Plus, they look amazing!

🛋️ Comfort is Key: Creating cozy, inviting spaces with the right furniture and textures can make your home a sanctuary of relaxation and comfort. Think plush pillows, soft throws, and comfy seating.

💡 Lighting Love: Natural light is a mood booster! If natural light is limited, layering table lamps, floor lamps, and ambient lighting can create a serene and inviting atmosphere.

🎨 Personal Touches: Surrounding yourself with things you love and that bring joy—like art, photos, and personal mementos—can make you feel happier and more connected to your home.

A well-designed space isn’t just about how it looks; it’s about creating an environment where you can thrive and feel your best.

Some of my clients know how much I love to create collage walls. This particular one is a brilliant source of inspiration!

This is probably one of my favorite gallery walls i have created. It took a long time of collecting, measuring, & creating a way to fit these yard longs to the staircase. It really created a cozy entry to our 1800's farmhouse. You can see more of it here: https://www.lizmarieblog.com/2019/01/antique-gallery-wall-entryway/
