Hi, I’m Erika, interior designer, DIY enthusiast, and the creative force behind Olive & June Home. I believe you should love where you live, no matter your budget.

My husband, Lucius, and I started this journey back in 2011 with a white-box house and a mountain of student loans. So, we learned fast how to renovate smart, creatively, and affordably. Since then, we've tackled several home renovations and flips, sharing every step and every lesson learned along the way.

With a BFA in Painting and a passion for bold but livable design, I’m not afraid to grab a power tool, pick a daring paint color, or build something from scratch—and I’ll show you how to do it too.

Olive & June Home has been featured on The Spruce, Redfin, and Apartment Therapy (here and here), and now I’m excited to grow it into a full-service design studio offering interiors that are creative, thoughtful, and truly livable—not just Pinterest pretty.

Here, you’ll find:

  • 🎨 Real-time renovations

  • 🛠️ DIY tutorials that actually work

  • 📐 Practical design ideas packed with style

  • 💡 Budget breakdowns — because yes, cost does matter

Whether you’re here to find inspiration, learn how to build closet shelves with a miter saw, or just prove that you can create magic on a budget, you’re in the right place.

Please note: Because Olive & June Home is a personal space focused on my own creative journey, I do not accept guest posts. Thanks so much for understanding!

Let’s make something beautiful… and a little unexpected. Have a question or want to work with me? I'd love to hear from you!
