Remember the project I shared with you that featured oversized photography? Well, we are almost done! I dropped items off at the couple’s home with plans to install next week, but the Mr. & Mrs. got excited and took matters into their own hands. So far, so good…

Just one more photo to go and I can’t wait to show you the window treatments. They’ve got a custom look at a retail price! Stay tuned for the after shots next week.

It’s amazing what photography, artwork, and accessories do for the home. Check out this dining area designed by Richard Mishaan. Here’s one way you can enjoy Summer all year long.

Refreshing, isn’t it? I’m constantly moving and changing things around in my house and just curious to know how often would you change the photographs in a display like this?

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
