Welcome – I’m glad you’re here.

I’m Olga and I’ve renovated homes. I sell them. I am also an artist and have a background in social work.

These very different worlds have taught me one thing: people deserve spaces that feel cared for.

I started Thoughtful Design Blog to share my experiences and what I’ve learned along the way: simple fixes, honest advice, and design ideas that make a house feel like a loved home.

And finally, I selfishly want to express my ever so demanding need for creativity.

So, thank you for coming by and reading. I hope something here inspires you to look at your home with fresh eyes.
