❄️✨ Part 3 of Alice’s 5th Birthday Celebration! ✨❄️
While Alice was at school, I transformed the town rec center into a magical Frozen wonderland 👑⛄️❄️. The room sparkled with icy blue linens, shimmering snowflakes, a towering Ice Castle backdrop 🏰❄️, and tables filled with tasty treats fit for a queen 🍬🧁.
The kids had a blast bouncing in the Frozen-themed bounce house 🎉, playing Pin the Carrot on Olaf 🥕⛄️, and even dancing on stage to “Let It Go” 💃❄️. Their smiles were as bright as Elsa’s magic!
After a joyful round of the birthday song 🎂🎶, everyone enjoyed the delicious cake 🎂✨, and the party ended with an epic piñata shaped like a big number 5 🎊 stuffed with candy and toys 🍭🎁.
It was truly an enchanted Frozen adventure from start to finish — a birthday fit for our little snow queen Alice! 👑❄️💙
👉 I create magical parties like this at Tumbles Tikes AND at client venues ✨🏰. If you’d like me to bring the magic to your next celebration, let’s make it unforgettable together! 🎉💙

❄️ Part 2 of Alice turning 5! ⛄️✨
Car packed with all the party decorations (and of course Olaf! ⛄💙) as I traveled up to Sugarloaf yesterday to surprise her on her real birthday at The Rack for Thursday Asian Night. Chef Will did not disappoint 🍜👏—it was amazing!
Of course, the sweetest moment was when everyone came together to sing 🎶 “Happy Birthday” as Alice’s cupcake 🧁 + ice cream 🍦 arrived. Her smile could melt even Olaf’s heart! ❄️💙✨

Last weekend, we kicked off Alice’s 5th pre-birthday celebration in true Frozen style! ❄️ From a playground adventure at Payson Park to flipping, dancing, and opening presents at Tumble Tikes to the theme of 'Let It Snow', this little princess, Elsa, truly let it go! She even topped it all off with her very first concert at Thompson’s Point.
Always a treat to catch up over coffee with Will to plan the special event! The magic doesn’t stop here—next up, a full Frozen extravaganza at Sugarloaf! Shhh… the surprise awaits. ❄️✨

✨ Living Room Refresh ✨
As summer winds down and the back-to-school hustle kicks in, it’s the perfect time to finally give that one room you’ve been wishing felt refreshed a little attention. 🌿
For this project, my client swapped out their oversized blue sectional for a sleek modern leather sofa, and we brightened up the walls and trim to create a lighter backdrop.
We then layered in the details that make all the difference — full-length panel curtains on decorative rods, a pair of lamps to bring warmth and balance, fresh pillows and an afghan throw for softness, and a set of iron-and-glass tables to keep things airy.
Small styling touches like candles and a coffee table book add that polished, lived-in vibe, while the original oriental rug and cherry TV cabinet stay in place to ground the room with character and history.
A refresh doesn’t have to mean a full renovation — sometimes the right mix of upgrades and finishing touches is all it takes to transform a space.
📩 As we head into a new season, is it time to give your home the update it deserves? DM me and let’s bring your vision to life.

With only a few weeks before we move into Fall—the season of change—
I find myself slowing down, breathing in, and being happy with exactly where I am.
I didn’t picture this—
raising four kids,
our businesses being shut down and rebuilt from the ground up,
navigating injuries and surgeries,
letting go of relationships that no longer had a place in my life.
Yet here I am.
Exactly where the plan was leading me all along.
The shoulds have faded.
The coulds no longer hold me.
After all the miles run, the jobs worked, the tears shed—
I rise, I breathe, and I say—
I am strong.

This weekend while on the island, I took a long walk along the rocky shoreline — nearly halfway around — and paused to build a stone stack by the water’s edge. One of my fave things to do. Balancing each rock took patience, tiny adjustments, and trust that the base was strong enough to hold what came next.
Over the last five years, I’ve been doing my own version of stone stacking. We’ve weathered the closing of our business twice, the moves and reopenings, the pause on my fitness when I couldn’t run for 18 months, and the journey through two hip replacements in a single year. Every time life set down a new “stone,” I had to adjust the others to keep standing.
Now, as I look ahead, I feel that familiar mix of uncertainty and possibility. The stack is still standing. It’s not perfect — it never will be — but it’s mine. And I’ll keep building, one stone at a time, shaping a balance that feels steady, even when the waves crash close.
Because life isn’t about avoiding the waves — it’s about learning to balance through them, trusting that with each new stone, you’re building something stronger, steadier, and more beautiful than before.
That’s why I’m excited to share my next chapter — the launch of kimdemado.com — where I’ll be bringing together my passions for events, home styling, and creating beautiful, meaningful spaces. It’s the next stone in my stack, and I can’t wait to see where it leads.

July was a whirlwind 🌊 — from Maine to Marco and back again. Kids’ parties, summer camps, and design projects kept the days buzzing. After all that, it was time for a little R&R. 🌕✨ From full moons to golden sunrises, lobsters fresh off the boat to endless sunshine.
After a summer of hustle, I'm dropping Jackson off at his happy place to haul traps and spend a week boating. There’s just something about the Maine coast — the salty breeze, the rhythm of the waves — that calms the mind, soothes the soul, and recharges everything. ⚓💙

Part 2: Bedrooms that Went from Boring to Brilliant ✨🛏️
Once the big furniture pieces were in place throughout the condo, it was time to shift focus to the bedrooms — turning them from functional to fabulous. Each room already had fresh new beds and smart storage drawers to replace bulky dressers and nightstands, but they still felt… unfinished.
That’s where the magic of finishing touches came in. I layered in the perfect occasional chair for cozy reading, mixed in textured throw pillows, found just-right bedside lamps, and added art that tied the whole look together. Suddenly, each bedroom went from a blank canvas to a warm, inviting retreat.
It’s amazing how the right details can make all the difference — taking a space from “nice” to next level. Now, my client’s guests will walk in and feel instantly relaxed, whether they’re enjoying a week in paradise or settling into their forever home.
✨ Thinking about refreshing your own space — whether it’s a coastal getaway or your everyday home? Let’s talk about how I can help bring your vision to life. Send me a message and let’s get started!

Just wrapped up an incredible (and intense!) week on Marco Island for a design consult with a client who's preparing their dream vacation/retirement home — and future rental.
It was a full-on marathon of sourcing, shopping, and installing across 6 rooms. Walking into unfamiliar stores and transforming their vision on the fly was no small feat, but the results are so worth it.
The vibe? A fresh fusion of modern, regal, tropical, and breezy beach energy. ✨🌴🛋️
One of my favorite transformations? Check out the before-and-after of the open kitchen bar counter — now flowing into a sunroom-style den with total cabana vibes. Still waiting on some final touches like chairs and tables, but it’s already such a vibe!
My client shared that one of the biggest help was having someone handle all the shopping and installation — taking the stress out and bringing the vision to life. Mission accomplished!

✨ Monday Mood: Open the Door to Fresh Style ✨
Style and design have always been my creative outlet—like a writer to the page or an artist to a blank canvas. And there’s something about a Monday (or a homecoming) that makes me want to start fresh and reimagine spaces with purpose.
Let’s begin at the beginning:
📍 Your entryway.
This space sets the tone for your entire home. Whether your style leans modern, coastal, or farmhouse—your foyer should reflect you.
Start here:
✔️ A narrow table or bench
✔️ A statement mirror or artwork
✔️ Warm, welcoming lighting
✔️ A durable rug + baskets for storage
✔️ A touch of greenery for life and color
It doesn’t take a full reno—just intention, layering, and a little creativity.
❤️ I’m opening new doors—personally and professionally—and I’d love to help you refresh yours too.
Do you love your entryway? If not… let’s fix that.

'Wednesday’s Workspace'
Let’s talk where productivity meets pretty. ✨
This week’s feature: a mini makeover of a cluttered desk nook turned calming command center. Clean lines, concealed storage, and a pop of natural woods brought this busy mama's chaos back to calm—all without a full renovation.
Whether you're running a household, launching a side hustle, or just craving a corner that feels put together, your workspace should inspire you.
