I’ve never been to Ireland, but it’s near the top of my travel bucket list for sure. My main impression of the country comes from period films and National Geographic photos, which promise a country of misty green hills, moody cobblestoned lanes, and faerie voices that whisper of the way things were before the history […]
Since moving into a 590-square foot home two years ago, my interiors style has evolved considerably. I’m increasingly drawn to angular, airy, modern spaces with as little adornment possible. Yet I love an inviting, lived-in room just as much as ever, so the challenge has been to keep things feeling contemporary without veering towards cold […]
Is it just me or is tile enjoying a renaissance lately? From colorful Moroccan-inspired mosaics to subdued, tone-on-tone grids, innovative tile installations are turning up everywhere from showers to fireplace surrounds—and Fireclay Tile is leading the charge with their groundbreaking approach to custom ceramic tile. At Light Lab we worked with Fireclay to create our black and white […]
Yesterday we dove deeper into the mix and match dining setup at Light Lab, and today we’re turning our attention to the glammy modern bathroom we teamed up with Wayfair to install. To say it’s a scene stealer is putting it mildly. Because its reputation proceeds it (thanks Instagram!), first-time visitors to Light Lab rush […]
Did you catch the big studio tour of Light Lab on design*sponge last week? Now that the space is more or less finished, we’re excited to be putting it out into the world! I’ve got the back story on some of our favorite elements—and since one blog post can only go so deep into a seven […]
The world of window coverings is a wide and overwhelming one. Whenever I dip my toes in those waters, I’m immediately flummoxed by the seemingly zillions of options. In every room of my house I’ve defaulted to the path of least resistance, gauzy white linen sheers on a plain iron rod. In the spaces that don’t allow for […]
Remember the episode of Friends with the Pottery Barn apothecary table? I was eighteen when that episode aired, and as a budding decor junkie I was captivated. What was this wondrous place where I could find everything my teenage heart desired for a bedroom design makeover as impossibly cool as Rachel’s apartment? I immediately signed up for Pottery Barn’s […]
I’m still riding the inspiration high from my trip to Las Vegas Market earlier this week. Because yesterday’s post on Jaipur Living’s minimalist global decor only scratched the surface, I wanted to share one more fabulous find that I can’t stop thinking about! Viewing the selection of tablewares brands represented at the market was like being […]
I’ve just returned from Las Vegas Market, the biggest interiors trade show on the west coast, and as you can imagine my brain is full to bursting with all the new and drool-worthy traditional, modern, and global decor goodies I spotted! In addition to coveting plenty of individual items, I’m always reeling from how beautifully the showrooms display […]
I am 100% in favor of the Internet rabbit hole. Giving ourselves permission to get lost down a path of links and hashtags is the digital equivalent of taking an aimless adventure, of hopping into the car and heading where the fates take you. Only in this case, the car is your computer and it just might […]
Remember last winter’s factory tour of Cisco Home in Los Angeles? Ever since I got a chance to see the magic behind the curtain of this handmade eco-friendly furniture company, I’ve had a serious soft spot for their particular approach to homewares design and construction. So when the warm weather hit and I decided it was time […]
Although I spent half my childhood in Canada—in Toronto, specifically—I’ve never been to the western part of the country! I’ve certainly heard all the rave reviews of the scenery , of course, and I’m dying to take a trip one of these days. My list of must-see spots just grew longer with the discovery of […]
