Happy 2019! Is it just me or is the first week of the year a weird one? I’m having a tough time revving my engine and diving back into post-holiday life with both feet, so I’m doing my best just to take it a step at a time and separate the ‘have to do’s’ from […]
The truth about decorating your home is that it’s more of a journey than a destination. The thrill of the hunt, the delight of an unexpected find, the satisfaction of a growing collection, and the curiosity of exploring new layouts and arrangements: As any design lover will tell you, these are the real joys of […]
I’m proud to say that unlike last year, I’ve got almost everyone on my Christmas gifting list checked off! There’s still a few stragglers though, and I’m racking my brain on what to get them because it’s always the pickiest people who are left ’til the last minute! Whether you’re like me this year and […]
Of my many home decor collections, bedding definitely sits near the top of my “must hoard” list. Our hall closet is practically overflowing with sheets, blankets, shams, and pillowcases of all stripes (and checks and polka dots)! Yet there’s always room for a new addition to my linens lineup, especially when its as soft, sustainable, […]
I’m always on the hunt for unique sources for small global decor decor accents to make a space feel personalized and unique. I first discovered St. Frank when I was decorating Kim’s house and fell hard for its unusual selection of art, soft goods, accessories, wallpaper, and fabric-by-the-yard. We basically filled Kim’s living room with […]
Earlier this week I hopped in the car and crossed town to get a special sneak peek at the new Serena & Lily Palisades Village store before it officially opens this weekend! I’ve loved following the company from their early days offering bedding and wallpaper to the soup-to-nuts home decor brand. They’ve managed to succeed […]
I’m writing this post amidst a pile of luggage and rejected outfit options as I prepare to head to High Point Market in North Carolina tomorrow! High Point is the one of interiors industry’s largest trade shows, and is definitely one of the highlights of the year! Although I’ve been several times before, I have […]
One of my favorite categories of interior design is restaurant design. Not only do the functional aspects of the space have to be spot on, but designers tend to take more risks, pushing the envelope to make a serious visual statement. Especially in the age of Instagram, a striking restaurant design has become a marketing […]
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 […]
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 […]
