For ages, my work wife Caroline and I have been wanting to do product design. Not a week goes by when we don’t have an idea for something we’d love to see on the market—usually because we want it for ourselves and can’t find it in stores! But we’d always agreed that we only wanted […]
Woven materials have been having a real moment in home decor for the past couple years, and I’m totally here for it! From rattan to grasscloth, they’re all gorgeous—but none speaks my language quite so loudly as woven cane. It’s at once tactile and textural, but thanks to the open weave construction and grid of […]
Every so often, a space stops me in my tracks—and that’s exactly what this vintage inspired kitchen did when it popped up in my Instagram feed this week. The word stunning doesn’t do justice to its beauty, but it’s a start at least! This kitchen comes to us from Nashville-based Lauren Bradshaw Design. You may […]
I recently started a new client project that I’m really excited about! The homeowner has furnished most of the home herself but needs help nailing down the final finishing touches like art and small decor. (Did you know you can hire me for stuff like that? You can!) I absolutely adore this type of assignment […]
One of the questions I get asked most is how to style a coffee table. And it’s a great question! When it comes to coffee tables, it’s way too easy to go from bare to overloaded. After all, when you’re working with a small surface area, even one or two objects can make or break […]
In over eleven years of blogging, I’ve reviewed a lot of products. I’ve never shared one I didn’t stand behind, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say some excited me less than others. Every once in a while, though, one comes along that I not only love, but I find myself so attached to […]
At last, the big day has arrived! The final reveal of our Light Lab dining room and kitchen makeover is here! I’m not going to lie, the pressure I felt to make this a top-notch decor refresh was real. After all, in the three years since we opened our doors, Light Lab has become known […]
Last summer I went camping with Ivan and my dad—the first real outdoorsy thing I’ve done in years! We had a blast, but the experience definitely reminded me why I don’t make a habit of roughing it. I’m the kind of person who likes daily hot showers and prefers my food without dirt in it, thank […]
I moved to LA almost 7 years ago now, and one of the things I’ve loved to watch is the way the local hotel scene has evolved in that time. Countless of the city’s golden era structures have been revived to their former glory, transformed from sad to spectacular in a stunning display of hospitality […]
One of my biggest goals when we were completing our weekend bathroom refresh was to keep our effort—and our costs—as low as humanly possible! I had my heart set on a boutique hotel inspired bathroom makeover. But since we rent, I didn’t want to spend a fortune giving the room a facelift. Although I shared […]
As promised, here’s the final space in the Palm Springs A-Frame design that Caroline and I completed together! This one is not only a total scene-stealer, it’s also the space that required the most innovation and determination to install. We went through some major obstacles and had to summon our most creative problem solving skills […]
This summer marks three years since we opened the doors at my studio Light Lab! In that time, the space has been home to countless shoots, events, and workshops. Not only do we use it for our own projects, but everyone from Disney to Netflix has booked the studio! We’ve become known for offering a […]
