As we step into a month centered on gratitude — I’m reminded that our homes should be a place to find joy in connecting with others in every season of life.
We will dive into aging-in-place design — not just as a trend, but as a thoughtful way to honor the people and moments that make a house a home.
I’m thrilled to share a special collaboration (and this month’s sponsor)— a recent forward-thinking bathroom transformation with the talented team at LU Design Build here in St. Louis. This project is a beautiful example of how function and warmth can coexist — where design grows with us through life’s changes.

[November Sponsor]
LU Design Build has been crafting meaningful, high-quality spaces since 2010. Their CEO, Luke, practically grew up on a jobsite — tagging along with his father, a general contractor, since the age of five. Today, LU Design Build continues that legacy of craftsmanship, family, and integrity.
Fun fact: several of Luke’s siblings work alongside him — a rare and wonderful thing in the construction world. Their ability to collaborate as a family is part of what makes their team so special.
But what truly sets LU Design Build apart is their collaborative spirit. This recent project was the result of thoughtful teamwork between their skilled construction and design team and an Occupational Therapist specializing in accessible design.
Together, we focused on creating a bathroom that blends the client’s function, safety, and style — proving that accessible spaces can be both barrier-free and beautiful.
When you look at LU Design Build’s portfolio, you’ll notice a clear theme: connection. From modernizing outdated kitchens and primary bathrooms to expanding outdoor living spaces and finishing basements, every project is designed to help families live better — not just in how their homes look, but in how they feel and function every day.
One of their most memorable remodels? A family home where removing just a few walls between the kitchen and living room transformed the way they interacted. With new flow and openness, the family reconnected — sharing meals, laughter, and daily moments that were once separated by walls.
It’s a powerful reminder that inclusive, thoughtful design doesn’t just change spaces — it invites connection and elevates joy in everyday living.
