Everyone you follow is eating pasta on a terrace somewhere in Tuscany.
Drinking Aperol in the golden hour. Living inside what looks like a movie.
And you're home.
Not in a tragic way. Just in a regular Tuesday way.
The dishwasher is running. The kids need dinner. The table has crumbs and yesterday's mail on it. And the summer you imagined... the one with slow mornings and long dinners and that feeling... is somehow already halfway over.
But here's what I want you to consider:
Maybe the thing you're craving was never really Italy.
(Okay, of course it is, but let's go deeper...)
Maybe it was the slowness. The presence and peace that comes with taking an epic vacation you've been dreaming of. The simple food that somehow feels like an event. The music that drifts down the street as you eat your pasta al fresco. The dinner that takes hours but no one is in a rush to leave. The table people actually want to sit around. The permission to treat an ordinary evening like it matters.
That feeling doesn't require a passport.
It requires a decision.
Join me for La Dolce Vita: An Italian Summer at Home
June 9th at 11:00am Pacific
Your summer is not happening somewhere else.
I know what it looks like when you're stuck in the scroll after just eating your kids leftovers over the sink.
Other women are traveling. Hosting long, slow dinners that go into the night. Creating gorgeous tablescapes worth photographing. Pouring rosé on patios that look like they belong in a magazine. Their summers look cinematic. Yours looks like camp pickup and "what should we have for dinner" and realizing it's July and you yet felt like you got to actually enjoy your summer.
But I need you to hear something:
You don't have to escape to Italy to create the kind of summer you've been dreaming of.
You just need to know how to create the feeling you're after.
The light. The texture. The music. The ritual of sitting down instead of eating over the sink. Small shifts that change the whole vibe of your home. The tiny choices that turn "just dinner" into a moment worth remembering.
Those details are available to you. Right now. In the home you already have.
This workshop will show you exactly how to find them.
I Want This FeelingThis is not a decorating class.
And we are absolutely not turning your kitchen into an Italian restaurant.
This is a feeling-first workshop about translating the magic of La Dolce Vita... the sweet life... into choices you can actually make. Today. In the life you already have.
In your real home. With your real budget. In your real, very full, not-always-Pinterest-ready life.
We'll work with six sensory ingredients:
Light - how to make any room feel like golden hour
Food - simple dishes that feel like an occasion
Music - the background that changes everything
Texture - linen, ceramic, wood, and warmth you can touch
Nature - bringing the outside in, even without a garden
Ritual - small acts that make ordinary moments feel intentional
By the end, you won't just have ideas.
You'll have one real, beautiful moment you can create this week.
Say Less - I'm In!
What you'll walk away with:
A way to translate those sun-soaked vacation vibes into something you actually live. Let's pull out those feelings and those desires that vacation brings us, and learn how to translate those into the everyday. Your life is too special to keep waiting for the perfect opportunity, trip or conditions to enjoy it.
The six sensory ingredients of Italian summer, decoded. Light, food, music, texture, nature, ritual. These are the building blocks of every beautiful moment you've ever screenshot. Once you see them, you can use them anywhere.
A table you'll actually want to sit at. The Italians make their meals one of the most intentional times of the day, and we're going to do just that. It doesn't matter if you decide to cook an Italian feast or heat up chicken nuggets... this table is about presence and wanting your guests to linger.
Permission to start with what you have. Let me de-influence you... I'm not here to give you a bunch of links of things to buy. We'll shop your home before we shop anywhere else. You'll be surprised what's already there, waiting to be seen differently.
One La Dolce Vita moment, designed by you, for your actual life. A dinner. A Saturday lunch. A golden-hour drink on the patio. A picnic on the living room floor. Something simple, specific, and completely doable. We're creating a moment for you that echoes your Vacation Self.
The heart of this workshop:
Create the table you'll want to linger at.
This is where the magic lives.
Together, we'll design a simple summer moment that works for your home. Not a fantasy home. Not a someday home. The one you're standing in right now.
Your table might be:
- A dining room table that usually holds laundry
- A patio table that's seen better days
- A kitchen island covered in homework
- A coffee table in front of the TV
- A tiny breakfast nook
- A blanket on the grass
- A tray on the couch after bedtime
The surface doesn't matter. The feeling does.
You'll choose:
- The moment you want to romanticize (dinner, drinks, coffee, a snack, a solo reset)
- The surface you'll use
- The atmosphere you're craving
- What you already own that can get you there
- One fresh detail worth adding
- One sensory cue that makes it feel like your version of La Dolce Vita
- How you'll actually use it—this week, not someday
Because this isn't about creating a life that looks beautiful in photos.
It's about living more beautifully in the hours no one sees.
Everything Included In Your Workshop:
The Live Workshop 60 minutes together, live. I'll walk you through how to bring Italian summer into your home and everyday rhythms using light, food, music, texture, nature, and ritual. This is teaching you can use forever, in any season, in any home.
The La Dolce Vita Letter A multi-page, beautiful note to read before we meet. Think of it as the emotional threshold—the moment you step out of your regular day and into the feeling of the workshop. This sets the tone.
The Italian Summer Edit A curated guide with simple recipes, rituals, curated playlists, movie recommendations, and home details to help you extend the feeling long after the workshop ends. Includes shoppable links if you want them—but the whole point is that you don't need them.
The Summer Table Guide A practical, beautiful guide to help you create your own table moment. What to use, how to layer it, where to start, and how to make it feel like you.
Live Q&A Bring your real questions. Rental kitchen? No patio? Chaos everywhere? Tiny budget? We'll talk through how to make this work for your actual life.
Replay Access (All-Access Seat only) Can't make it live? Want to revisit the workshop mid-August when you need the reminder? The replay is yours to keep.
Save My Seat
This is for you if:
- Your feed is full of Italian summer and you are very much still at home
- You want your days to feel more beautiful without overhauling your entire life
- You've been feeling the call to slow down and enjoy life more
- You want your home to feel more intentional, but you don't want to buy a bunch of stuff that doesn't actually change anything
- You love the idea of flowers on the table, music in the kitchen, dinner by candlelight, and ordinary moments that feel a little bit magic
- You're ready to stop saving beauty for some future version of your life
This is not for you if:
You want a formal interior design plan, a full home makeover, or a perfectly styled tablescape you're afraid to actually use.
This workshop is about real life.
Warmer. Slower. A little more golden.
You don't need a plane ticket to find it.
A Note from Jenna...
I've spent years teaching women how to make their homes more beautiful - through DIY projects, design decisions, and the practical side of creating a space you love.
But the longer I do this work, the more I realize:
The women I talk to don't just want prettier rooms.
They want their actual lives to feel different inside those rooms.
At the end of the day, it all comes down to how we feel inside our life. And that's a choice, and it's something that we can curate and shape. While yes, Italy is fantastic and I absolutely love it...
I also know how I feel when I'm in Italy. I feel like the best version of myself. I feel like I'm appreciating all the small moments, really tasting the food, and making a "moment" out of a simple spritz. I'm grateful and I'm enjoying where I am, not just looking for the next thing... And I want to feel like that more often, in my everyday life.
That's what this workshop is about.
Not a new aesthetic. Not a shopping list. Not a life that only works once everything is finished.
A feeling you can create right now, with what you have, in the home you're already living in.
I'd love to show you how.
—Jenna
Questions You Might Have...
Do I need to be good at decorating or styling?
What if my home isn't beautiful?
Do I need outdoor space?
Will I need to buy a lot of things?
What if I can't make it live?
Does the Live Seat include the replay?
The life you're craving is not on the other side of a plane ticket.
It's on the other side of a decision.
The decision that your life gets to feel great NOW.
Not once you take the vacation, or after you renovate the house or buy the perfect decor you've been saving up for. NOW.
Someday is a place where beautiful things go to die.
Your summer doesn't have to feel like everyone else's highlight reel.
It just has to feel like yours.
A little slower. A little warmer. A little more worth remembering.
It's closer than you think.
