A New Year, A Fresh Start

January 2026

As we step into 2026, we want to begin with a heartfelt thank you to all of our wonderful clients, partners, and friends. 2025 was an amazing year filled with beautiful transformations, creative collaborations, and homes made more functional and joyful. We are so grateful for your trust and support, and we can’t wait to welcome many new faces through our doors in 2026!
From our family to yours, we wish you a happy, healthy, and inspiring New Year. May 2026 be filled with moments that matter, goals that come true, and spaces that truly support the way you live. We hope all of your New Year’s resolutions (big and small) come true this year.

Pantone Color of the Year 2026 🎨

Every year, Pantone sets the tone for design trends ahead, and the Pantone Color of the Year 2026 is all about balance, comfort, and versatility. This shade was chosen for its ability to feel fresh yet familiar, making it a perfect fit for a New Year and a new beginning.

What makes this color truly special is how effortlessly it works with nearly every style and palette. Whether your home leans modern, traditional, transitional, or somewhere in between, this color adapts beautifully. It pairs just as well with warm wood tones as it does with crisp whites, deep charcoals, metallic accents, and natural stone.

In the kitchen, this color shines as cabinetry, a statement island, or even a backsplash accent, adding depth without overwhelming the space. In bathrooms, it creates a calming, spa-like feel when used on vanities, tile, or walls.

Design Tip: If you’re not ready to commit to a full remodel, try incorporating the Color of the Year through paint, décor, hardware, or accessories. It’s an easy way to refresh your home and stay on trend without starting from scratch.

Family-Friendly Winter Fun ❄️

Looking for ways to enjoy the season close to home? Here are a few fun, family-friendly ideas around DuPage County:

  • Ice skating at local park district rinks or outdoor winter plazas
  • Library events & winter reading programs for all ages
  • Indoor nature centers and museums—perfect for chilly days
  • Family game nights or movie nights at home (bonus points for homemade snacks!)

Winter is the perfect time to slow down and enjoy time together.

Confetti Popcorn Mix 🍿

A fun, easy, and kid-friendly treat for celebrating the New Year! Let the confetti fly! The resolution to eat healthier can start once the bowl is empty.
