You may have noticed that rattan and woven materials are having a major moment right now. Over the past couple years, we’ve seen rattan shift from a boho staple to a versatile material that adds texture and blends seamlessly into a range of design styles. These days, I get so many questions about the […]
Remember the space saving kitchen design by Taylor + Taylor that I shared last week? Well, as promised, here’s a closer look at that jaw-dropping modern tile floor mosaic that takes the kitchen from amazing to out-of-this-world! This floor was the one teeny tiny piece of input I myself had on the design—and not even because […]
Remember a few months back when I shared the inspiration for a space saving kitchen design that my good friends Taylor + Taylor were implementing in their new house? Well, I’m so excited to be posting the final result here at last, because gosh darn is it goooooood! This petite, utilitarian kitchen came together so […]
We’re coming up on the 3-year anniversary of signing our lease at Light Lab, and it would be an understatement to say it’s been quite a journey since we first decided to renovate and open a creative studio here in Los Angeles! The way we use the space has evolved since we first broke ground, […]

I still remember when I met Kirsten Grove of the wildly popular interiors blog Simply Grove. It was way back in the dinosaur days of blogging, at Alt Summit in 2010. Meeting her after months of being online friends was one of the things that clinched it for me with the online community we were […]
It’s that of year that a snap of cold greets me when I climb out of bed each morning, and it always makes me nostalgic for the northern climes of my childhood. Though I grew up largely in Toronto, my family is originally from Reno, and trips to Tahoe have been a part of our traditions since long […]
Everyone has that store they can’t go into without buying at least four things beyond the items on their list. For me, that store is World Market. Last week I went there for taper candles and left with goat’s milk hand lotion, Asian soup spoons, a bottle of wine, and a white enamel pendant lamp. I’d […]
