I’m so excited to announce that I’ve joined Houzz as a weekly contributor! Boasting over 59,000 images from design professionals as well as homeowners, Houzz is an invaluable resource for anyone looking for decorating and remodeling ideas.

Each week, I will publish articles in a format Houzz calls “Ideabooks.” Appropriately named, these Ideabooks will show you how to use your inspiration images to create the home you’ve always desired.

Here’s a preview of this week’s topic:

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
