As I’m prepping to shoot Ivan’s office, I’m tapping all my favorite go-to’s for modern, organic accents to create the subtly layered effect I’m envisioning in the space. But sometimes it’s nice to add a new resource into the mix, so I was thrilled to stumble upon Bloomist! This recently launched website specializes in exactly […]
When I haven’t had my head buried in a few projects around my own house this month, I’ve been knee deep in a fun new residential client that Caroline and I took on towards the end of last year! This one is definitely outside my comfort zone, since the client’s style leans in a much […]
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, […]
As we near the end of the year, I’m scurrying to wrap up projects around the house so that we can start 2019 with a clean slate! The mini refresh I gave our modern bedroom this fall is the perfect testament to how a few small changes can make an old space feel new again. […]
Hello, and happy Friday, everyone! It’s been a heavy week, hasn’t it?

In other words, I use […]
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 […]
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 […]
For years I’ve been crushing on Australian design. It seems as though every time I see a residential or commercial project that both pushes the envelope but also feels totally approachable and inviting, it’s located Down Under! It’s hard to put my finger on exactly why that country’s interiors firms have such visionary sensibilities, but […]
As wonderful as it is to ogle design images on Pinterest and decor shopping sites, there’s nothing quite like seeing it all person. Not only is it important for for the benefit of being able to touch a chair’s upholstery, test a pitcher’s weight, and of course test a sofa’s tush comfort, but it’s also an […]
