About Desert Living Style

A home collection born from a love of beautiful, lived-in spaces.

Desert Living Style isn’t just another home decor store.

It’s the next chapter of Gal With Style—a lifestyle destination created from a long-standing love of beautiful homes, thoughtful design, entertaining, and the little details that make everyday life feel special.

After years of sharing inspiration, decorating ideas, entertaining tips, and things worth bringing into your home through Gal With Style, Desert Living Style was created as a natural extension of that vision: a carefully curated collection of pieces that we genuinely love and would want in our own homes.

More Than Decor. It’s a Point of View.

We believe a beautiful home doesn’t need to be filled with more.

It needs to be filled with the right things.

Desert Living Style brings together organic modern decor, artisanal pieces, natural materials, and everyday objects chosen for their beauty, texture, character, and ability to make a space feel collected rather than decorated.

Our aesthetic is rooted in Organic Modern and Desert Modern design—clean but never cold, minimal but never stark, natural but never overly rustic.

Think warm textures. Organic shapes. Handcrafted details. Natural materials. Soft, earthy tones. And pieces that feel just as beautiful sitting quietly on a shelf as they do being used around your table.

From Gal With Style to Desert Living Style

What began with Gal With Style—a place to share inspiration for home, entertaining, style, beauty, and everyday living—eventually evolved into something more.

We wanted to bring the inspiration off the screen and into your home.

Desert Living Style is where that idea comes to life.

Instead of simply telling you how to create a warm, inviting, beautifully styled home, we’re creating a collection of pieces that help you do it.

Each collection is intentionally edited rather than endlessly expanded. We look for pieces that have something a little different about them—an unexpected shape, an interesting texture, a natural material, a handcrafted quality, or simply that something that makes you stop scrolling and take another look.

The Beauty of the Imperfect

We’re drawn to things that feel human.

Many of the pieces we curate are handmade, artisanal, or produced in small batches. That means you may notice subtle variations in color, texture, shape, or finish.

We don’t see those differences as imperfections.

They’re part of the story.

In a world of mass-produced everything, there’s something special about bringing home an object that doesn’t look exactly like everything else.

Designed for the Way You Actually Live

Beautiful doesn’t have to mean precious.

We love a home that looks thoughtfully designed but still feels comfortable enough to live in, gather in, and enjoy.

A beautiful bowl can hold fruit.

A sculptural candle holder can make an ordinary Tuesday dinner feel a little more special.

Handmade glasses can turn a casual drink into a moment worth lingering over.

And the pieces you love most don’t have to be saved for a special occasion.

We believe everyday life is the occasion.

That’s the philosophy behind Desert Living Style.

Curated With Intention

We’re not interested in offering thousands of products simply because we can.

We’re interested in finding the pieces that are worth making room for.

From artisan decor and sculptural objects to tabletop pieces designed for everyday use, every collection is selected with an eye toward creating a home that feels warm, intentional, collected, and uniquely yours.

Some pieces make a statement.

Others quietly complete a room.

All of them are chosen to work beautifully together while still having a personality of their own.

Meet the Founder

Desert Living Style is an extension of my love for creating beautiful, meaningful spaces—and a natural evolution of my journey with Gal With Style. After a career in healthcare, I found myself drawn more and more to the things that make a house feel like home: thoughtful details, natural textures, beautiful objects, and the simple art of living well.

At the heart of it all, I’m a wife and a mother who has loved every chapter of raising a family. These days, I’m an empty nester, happily sharing life with my husband, diva dog, and enjoying a little more time to slow down and appreciate the everyday. I’m happiest outdoors, inspired by the warmth, beauty, and natural simplicity of desert living.

Desert Living Style is my way of bringing all of that together—my love of home, design, entertaining, and the outdoors. I believe the spaces we live in should feel collected, comfortable, and uniquely ours, filled with pieces that make everyday moments a little more beautiful.
