It’s been so fun sharing the highlights from the studio makeover that my work wife Caroline and I created for her sister Margaret! The positive feedback the space has received since the big reveal last week has been overwhelming. We’re so thrilled you guys are loving the space as much as we do! Frankly, I’m […]
Our Kitchen Reno: Whirlpool Compact Stackable Washer and Dryer
Without a doubt, one of the most important elements in our kitchen makeover has been the upgrade in our laundry setup. The existing washer and dryer were the biggest impetus for starting the renovation process as quickly as possible after moving in; and they also represented the most significant problem solving we had to do […]
Project Reveal: Art Deco-Inspired Studio with a Checkerboard Ceiling!
Last winter, my work wife Caroline and I embarked upon what might be our most epic project yet. That’s saying a lot, considering the 9 month renovation process at our studio Light Lab! But for that space, we had some experts on hand to support with the technical aspects of the buildout; this time around, […]
The Roots of Modern + Art Deco Decor in ‘Making America Modern’
Fun fact: Right after I finished college, I spent 8 weeks at grad school for interior design. In that short time, my instructors had me redo almost all my projects because I kept trying to turn them into history assignments, rather than design explorations. Needless to say, the program wasn’t the right fit (hence spending […]
See Our Open Floor Plan Living Room + Dining Room On My Domaine!
It’s been a long time coming, but at last the reveal of our open floor plan living room and dining room is up on My Domaine! This project took almost a year to come together, in large part because—much like the old adage about the cobbler’s children who go without shoes—my own space always seems […]
Eclectic Modern Bedroom + Closet Inspiration from Modtage Design
Lately, my favorite interiors projects are the ones in which bold, simple shapes take center stage. Never underestimate the power of repeating circles, squares, or ovals to make a memorable impact! Case in point? This chic boudoir install from Modtage Design at this year’s San Francisco Decorators Showcase illustrates how brilliantly simple forms can combine […]
Catch Our House in the new Snowe Home Catalog!
I’ve been a big fan of Snowe Home since the brand’s launch a few years back. Founded by a NYC couple who were outfitting their first home together and in the process discovered a big gap between bargain basics and overpriced, high-end housewares, Snowe makes luxury-quality home goods attainable by going to the world’s best factories and […]
No Makeup Home Tour: My Worst Housekeeping Habits
It’s time for the second annual No Makeup Home Tour! Last year Kyla from House of Hipsters had the brilliant idea to round up a group of interiors bloggers for a day of sharing what our homes look like behind the scenes, and it was such a hit that we’re doing it again this year! […]
A Peek at the New Rebecca Atwood Store!
It’s no secret that I’m a huge Rebecca Atwood fan. The artist-turned-textile designer’s eye for color, pattern, and trend has grown her a huge and well-deserved customer base that awaits her new product releases with the same enthusiasm that Star Wars junkies await the latest franchise installment. It’s been such fun to watch her line […]
See Our Complete Bedroom Makeover Reveal On MyDomaine!
I’ve teased a few images of our bedroom makeover here and there in the past few weeks, but at long last the wait for the full reveal is over. The whole space was published on MyDomaine last Friday! My intention for the bedroom makeover was to create a relaxing retreat that felt like a modern […]
Kitchen Renovation Details: Our KitchenAid Black Stainless Appliances
Happy Friday, friends! This has been a week of ups and downs. If you follow along on my Instagram stories, you know I’m on day 12 of a month-long nutrition overhaul to get some pesky health challenges in check. Change takes time, and I’ve alternately felt terrific and crummy since starting this journey. However I’m […]

As much as interior design is about aesthetics, it’s also about laying the groundwork for how we want to feel as we move through our lives. That’s why I love decorating a new space so much. It’s an opportunity to set the scene for making every day just a little better! For example, I recently […]
