Now that I’ve shared the details on the envelope of Ivan’s home office makeover (did you catch my post on the California Closets built-in bookshelves and desk, as well as the wall art from Saatchi Art?) it’s time to hone in on the modern seating and lighting that I selected from the space. For those […]
The deep dive into my process for our home office continues! Today we’re talking about our original art from Saatchi Art, which from the beginning was one of the elements I considered most thoroughly. At the outset of this project, I asked Ivan what he really wanted in his office. He told me art that […]
It’s been such fun sharing the big reveal of our home office makeover this week! If I do say so myself, the finished space truly is eye-catching. From the wall of all-white books to the many layers of soothing organic textures, everything comes together to create a truly cohesive and memorable whole. I’ve been receiving […]
The big reveal is here at last! After months in the making, the full makeover I did of Ivan’s home office is live on Rue Magazine! Designing for your own home feels about a million times harder than designing for someone else, and I definitely lost some serious sleep over this neutral home office design. […]
I’m so excited about a new client project that I just started! My dear friend Monica is opening an event venue called The Revery in downtown Los Angeles. I’ve seen some of the initial plans, and it’s going to be an exquisite space! So when Monica asked me to design the office area from which […]
Now that I’m finally back into the swing of things after being on the road, I’ve been able to reflect on the best new designs that I spotted during my trip to High Point Market in April. I love going to High Point, since I always get an early look at the new product launches […]
I’ve been in the finishing stage of lots of projects lately! Putting on those final touches is my favorite part of the design process. And the more interiors I create—and inevitably photograph—the more I rely on my go-to sources for make-or-break extras that reliably look fantastic. One of my favorites lately is Lightwell Co. The […]
I’ve just wrapped up four days at High Point Market. It’s one of the interiors industry’s biggest trade shows of the year! I always come away from it full of excitement for the new trends and design finds I’ve spotted. Plus, of course, I also leave feeling grateful for the relationships I’ve fostered with friends […]
When I was growing up, my family had a cat tree. You know just what I’m talking about. It was a multi-level monstrosity covered in brown and green shag carpet. It was almost as tall as I was. And it was exactly as ugly as it sounds. We had it because we loved our cats, […]
If you’ve been following along on Instagram, you got some sneak peeks of Ivan’s completed office on the day that we shot it. And if you’re anything like me, you’ve been waiting with baited breath to see those final pro images of the project! I’ve finally got the photos back and have to say, they’re […]
Next time you stroll through a hotel, look around and notice how many design decisions had to be made! From the finish of the front desk to the chairs in the lobby, and from the carpet in the guest rooms to the towel hooks in the bathroom, everything had to be chosen as an integral […]
Since completing our bedroom makeover last year, I haven’t done much to the space aside from implementing a small bedding update here and there. But with spring on the horizon, I wanted to add something more to the decor than just new sheets or a duvet cover! Until now, I’ve kept the floors bare, since […]
