Welcome to The Lived-in Look!

If you’re anything like I used to be, then you’ve probably spent a fair amount of time endlessly scrolling through Pinterest, saving loads of gorgeous home inspiration photos. And likely, getting caught up in analysis paralysis wasting way too much time comparing your home to the picture perfect looks on a website.

I’m here to help you create a Lived-in Look. One that’s uniquely you, imperfect a lot of the time, but still so beautiful and the place you love to gather and be proud of.

So grab a glass of wine, browse around a bit, shop, or find out how I can help you design a home you will truly love!

Oh hey! I’m Martina!

I’m so happy you’re here!

I love a well lived-in home with kids, pets, toys and all. But I still want to be surrounded by a beautifully functional space that I love. After all, it’s where I spend most of my time these days. And after building, renovating and redesigning three homes, I’ve picked up more than a few design tricks along the way.

What people ARE saying about the Lived-in look


Martina is my go-to home style expert. She has impeccable taste and her ability to pull a room together on any budget is nothing short of amazing. She’s helped us with several areas of our home and I completely trust her judgement. On a five star scale I would give her a ten!

Martina is AMAZING! She was able to pull my ideas from my head and create the comfortable and cozy guest room that I was imagining. She made it seem so easy! She noted every thought I had and made it happen, including a very Subtle hidden Disney element! I LOVE my guest room and always get tons of compliments on it! Thank you AGAIN Martina!

Martina is great to work with! She really helped me plan out a design scheme for my living room that I was so stumped on. I trend towards bold colors and looks, and she was able to help me develop a design that was cohesive, but showcased some bold choices. She is so sweet and down to earth, and I highly recommend!
