I’ve spent the first workdays of 2019 focused on a few new client designs, but I can’t help looking back at my top projects of 2018 and dwelling on a few favorite details! I definitely grew a lot as a designer last year, and the living room makeover I did for Kim of Eat, Sleep, […]
Last week, we emptied Ivan’s sad, makeshift home office to make way for a fabulous new built-in situation! I was away on a photo shoot all day while the install was taking place, and it was such a thrill to come home to the completed result. It was exactly as I’d originally envisioned and then […]
Hello, and happy Friday, everyone! It’s been a heavy week, hasn’t it? I’ve been doing my best to keep up with daily life, while also staying present to current events—and supporting friends who are feeling particularly effected by them. And while I certainly don’t advocate burying ones head in work, I do feel grateful for […]
I generally do a pretty good job of keeping clutter at bay in our house. With only 900 square feet, I have to or things can easily get out of hand! Yet try as I might, I find it impossible to keep my ceramics addiction at bay. I’ve always had a thing for pots, vases, […]
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 […]
As my living and dining room slowly but surely come together, I’m watching the pieces trickle in and getting so excited to share the finished result! In the meantime, here’s a peek at the inspiration for the dining area. We knew we wanted to keep it light, bright, and clean, with lots of interesting texture […]
Just this morning I was chatting with someone about the very real struggle of sofa shopping. The parameters for the perfect sofa are so narrow! Finding one with just the right dimensions, just the right style, just the right comfort level, and just the right price…well…it’s like hunting a unicorn! So when I heard that the guys […]
Isn’t it so lovely to reconnect with an old friend and learn that they’re simply killing it? I had that pleasure recently when the good graces of the Internet put me back in touch with Laura Melling, a pal from my college days who is now Vancouver interior designer and creative director. I remember Laura […]
It’s our last day in India! It has been an adventure, to say the least. I’ve loved seeing this part of the world—meeting so many warm and welcoming people and learning more about how they live—and a part of me will be wistful to leave. At the same time, as is to be expected at […]
It’s no secret that good design is in the details. In fact, sometimes the best design elements are the ones you don’t even notice! Streamlined, thoughtful accents that recede into the background are the key to a home that feels considered and complete. As I’m learning more and more as I work on our new home, […]
