HGTV_FrontDoor_RoomServiceAtlantaAlas! Some good news to feed your soul! With so much going on in the world, it’s nice to read a feel-good story to restore hope. Wouldn’t you agree? HGTV Front Door’s Holly Aguire was so gracious to interview me about our work with Room Service Atlanta, our latest project at the United Methodist Children’s Home, and asked a few personal questions.

Of the questions asked, my favorite was “What does home mean to you?”

My answer: Home is wherever you are surrounded by love and support. Even if you are alone, self-love and acceptance can’t be beat.

What does home mean to you?

Head over to HGTV’s Front Door to read the entire feature and to see more before/after goodness! I’m seriously beside myself with joy!

Thanks to everyone for their support!

HI,
I'M ERIKA.

Beyond the Blueprint is a curated journal where legacy, lifestyle, and intentional design converge.

Here, I share stories from the heart of my home and the homes I create—faith-filled reflections, family rhythms, wellness practices, and design inspiration rooted in grace and purpose.

From motherhood and marriage to the sidelines of Friday night lights, each entry offers a glimpse into the layered life I live—and the brands, spaces, and values that support it.

Whether you're here to be inspired, encouraged, or aligned, welcome. This is life beyond the blueprint
