Remember the modern powder room design that Caroline and I recently began for a client? Well, I figured it’s time for an update, since it’s humming along quite nicely! Last week we presented three design options to the client, and while we liked all of them, let’s just say there was one that we really hoped […]
Although most of my thoughts about Instagram lately involve expletives (that darned algorithm!) I am a big fan of the bookmarked posts feature—especially since the instituted the ability to categorize by folders. I have a decor inspiration folder to which I save posts constantly, and I love being able not only to go back and […]
Without a doubt, the most important factor that influences how I feel in a space is the light. One look at my photographic and design style reveals the extent to which abundant, clean, crisp light is integral to my psyche! The bungalow that Ivan and I first shared together had small windows and was surrounded […]
There’s no question that tile is having a moment. From standout encaustic patterns to playful terrazo colorways, tile is trending in a major way! I’m loving all the creative installs I’m noticing for tile, everything from forward-thinking kitchen and bath applications to fireplace surrounds, patios, and floor-to-ceiling statements! Designers are stretching themselves in new directions […]
I generally do a pretty good job of keeping clutter at bay in our house. With only 900 square feet, I have to or things can easily get out of hand! Yet try as I might, I find it impossible to keep my ceramics addiction at bay. I’ve always had a thing for pots, vases, […]
Today I placed an order for 52 wallpaper swatches, which is definitely a record for me! The reason? Caroline and I just took on a new client project, a super fun powder room renovation that is going to look fantastic when it’s complete! I’ll share some overall inspiration for the design soon, but I wanted to […]
I’ve just received a sneek peek of the raw images from earlier this month when we shot the living and dining room makeover I did for Kim at Eat, Sleep, Wear. It’s always so satisfying when a project turns out even better than you expected, and after seeing the pics I can say that I’m very […]
Remember when I told you I’ve got a zillion interior design projects on my plate? I wasn’t kidding! Here’s another one in the works, also for Kim of Eat, Sleep, Wear. Kim is due with her first child (a boy!) on August 29, and we’re slipping in just under the wire with a sophisticated nursery that reflects […]
Remember when I introduced you to the living and dining room makeover I’m doing for Kim from Eat, Sleep, Wear? Well, we’re shooting it next week and I can barely contain my excitement! With each interiors project I complete, I find myself being ever more intentional about every decision; whereas I used to spend a […]
In a one month period, I’m attending a baby shower, a wedding, a birthday party, and a just-because barbecue. There’s nothing like summer’s long days and steamy nights to inspire every manner of social get-together! So in honor of the weekend and the seemingly endless opportunities to throw a stylish shindig, I’ve got another one […]
There’s no doubt that I love our recently completed kitchen renovation, and there’s also no question I’m happy to have the rest of our house nearly finished too. But the one downside of having every space in my own home squared away? I have to find other ways to scratch my constant itch to redecorate! […]
When I’m decorating a space, choosing the lighting is my favorite part. A great fixture can absolutely make a room! Sometimes I’ll select lighting after the bigger furniture elements have been decided, but more often than not I’ll know from the outset exactly what lamps, pendants, and chandeliers I want to use. In other words, I use […]
