It’s Light Lab makeover week here on the blog! Between Tuesday’s lounge update and today’s post, it’s only natural that a space conceived two years ago would by now be ready for a refresh, inside and the out. After all, whether it’s your home or your workspace, staying engaged and inspired depends largely on whether […]
We just celebrated the one year mark of opening Light Lab to the public, and boy does it feel great to be humming along! Our first nine months in the space were fraught with the many headaches and roadblocks of the renovation, but since then it’s been smooth sailing. We love to welcome visitors to […]
Do you guys know Kyla from House of Hipsters? Not only is her style en pointe, she’s the queen of building community online. (Like seriously, if you need someone to be your biggest cheerleader, Kyla’s got your back). Most recently, she rounded up a bunch of us bloggers to participate in the No Makeup Home Tour—a […]
As far as I’m concerned, the most dangerous spot in LA isn’t a back alley or a freeway median, it’s The Apartment by The Line. It’s impossible to walk into their impeccably curated space, full of decor, fashion, and apothecary finds, without wanting one of everything—and without walking out with at least one of something.

As my living and dining room slowly but surely come together, I’m watching the pieces trickle in and getting so excited to share the finished result! In the meantime, here’s a peek at the inspiration for the dining area. We knew we wanted to keep it light, bright, and clean, with lots of interesting texture […]
Apparently it’s Swedish design week here on the blog, because hot on the heels of my homage to Stockholm-based VERSO Skincare comes this sendup to the most sublimely simple decor concept I’ve seen in quite some time. The Kovac Family Numbers series is a lighting collection that uses FSC-certified wood to create lamps that arrive […]
One of the questions I’m most frequently asked is where I find my inspiration, and the answer I give is always a very boring one: “Inspiration can come from anywhere!” But it’s true—you never know when and where the muse will jump out and grab you by the imagination—and Rebecca Atwood’s newest wallpaper collection illustrates […]
I’ve got another juicy restaurant interior from my recent trip to visit family in Toronto, and I recommend sitting down for this one because it’s just. that. good. The restaurant is called Oretta, and I can pretty confidently say that I’ve never had a dining experience as thoroughly considered and elegantly executed across every detail […]
Because I’m a glutton for punishment, in addition to renovating our kitchen right now we’re also re-doing the living and bedroom. It’s chaos chez moi at the moment, but there will soon come a day when it all gels simultaneously and the mess of the last couple months is but a distant memory! More than it’s […]
One of my 2016 highlights was attending High Point Market for the first time ever. The massive interiors industry trade show is a staple for thousands in the design business, everyone from manufacturers and decorators to retailers and marketers. It’s an unparalleled opportunity to see what trends and technologies are coming down the pipeline, see […]
