As much as I try to keep things clutter free around my home, there’s one object I can’t resist: a beautiful design book! Not only does a pretty interiors volume provide plenty of visual inspiration, but a collection of ’em is great to have on-hand for styling little moments around the house. I’m always reaching […]
Ever since my early days of blogging, I’ve had a fangirl crush on Schoolhouse. The Portland-based brand has always been a go-to for classic, utilitarian decor that’s accessibly priced and beautifully made. Over the years, their product offerings have evolved from a handful of iconic lighting and hardware offerings to the full gamut of goods […]
Nothing excites me more than sharing a completed design project with you guys, and the one I have for you today is extra juicy! You may recall a while back when I shared inspiration for a glam, modern powder room that Caroline and I were working on for a friend. Well, the finished space is […]
A few weeks back, Ivan and I took a quick road trip up to San Francisco so I could shoot a client project. We decided to turn it into a little couple’s getaway while we were at it—which meant we of course needed somewhere chic and romantic to stay! We looked no further than The […]
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 […]
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 […]
