I’ve been thinking and talking a lot lately about the intersection between tech and interior design. As our lives become ever more connected, our homes do too! It’s taken a little while for certain sectors of the tech industry to catch up with the preferences of certain decor perfectionists around here (cough, cough) but thankfully […]
At long last, all the major decisions for the living room decor in my new house have been made. The trigger has been pulled on some exciting custom pieces (!) and the really fun part of picking out small decor accents is upon us! I’m on the hunt for a modern table lamp that packs […]
Lemme tell you, it is not easy to keep up with my business partner Caroline Lee. Not only is she a full-time professional lifestyle photographer and co-founder with me of Light Lab, she also has a bout a zillion side hustles. Her latest, a print shop featuring some of her most striking travel, fashion, and […]
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 […]
As someone who likes to travel but also needs a significant dose of downtime at home to recover from each trip, I’m in awe of nomadic types who spend more time on the road than anywhere else. Their thirst for adventure is insatiable, and they make it their mission to see as much of the […]
It feels so darn good to be wrapping up the design projects I’ve had on my plate the last little while. (Did you see the bachelor pad living room makeover I shared last week?) The next one on the docket is Kim’s neutral modern bedroom, which we’re scheduled to shoot next week. It’s just a […]
It’s been a little while since I shared a must-follow Instagram account, so I figure I’m long overdue. This one definitely falls into the category of ‘how does this person not have a zillion followers?!’ because it’s beautiful with a capital B! Chicago-based Nadia Ryan floods her feed with her favorite around-town spots, travel adventures, and the occasional tasty […]
I don’t remember what I was doing when I first discovered Schoolhouse Electric, but I do remember how I felt! It was as though at last someone had heard my cries for unique and modern decor options, and had answered them with a thoughtfully designed lineup of brass sconces, clever desktop accessories, and utilitarian kitchenwares. The brand quickly […]
Isn’t it nice sometimes when others do your work for you? That’s how I felt about Pinterest when it first launched–liked I’d stumbled on a treasure trove of perfectly curated inspiration images and didn’t have to weed a single bad apple from the bunch! And that’s how I felt just this past week when I […]
I’ve got chairs on the brain. This is, of course, nothing new. But they’re even more front of mind than usual lately, as I’m undertaking a living and dining room re-do in our new house. As much as I’m fond of all our old pieces, their scale and proportion isn’t quite right for the dimensions […]
