Perception vs reality. We work on a wide variety of projects of all sizes and budgets. The fun is in the design, the art and then client’s happiness. That is truly why we do what we do. Nothing beats seeing someone just so excited about their home after we are done. To learn more about working with us send us a DM or visit our website.

Custom millwork is a big part of what we design. Here, we used a clean design and tiger maple to add an updated modern edge to this lake house. The antique French desk adds some interest. We used a soft color palette through to pull the beautiful lake tones indoors.

I love using some consistent elements throughout a home when we are designing the whole property. By using an extra piece of this rug we tied in various rooms across various floors (and the staircase). It not only gave the space character but created a seamless flow between the levels.

Classic meets modern. This home is a historical masterpiece so it was important to play into that when designing the spaces. We wanted to honor the exquisite details while bringing some modern flare. We used lighting as one of the ways to do that. Because of the unique spaces, shapes and details we focused on designing custom pieces for a lot of the furniture, like this entry table. The outcome is truly special.

Very excited to share the details of this space. The wallpaper is the star here. Hand-painted for the space, this stunning design from @degournay gave us the inspiration for the rest of the room. We wanted something fun and memorable and used the colors as inspiration for the other elements. However, that is something I get asked a ton. With design you don’t have to always “match” every element. The fun and creativity comes from finding colors, textures and patterns that go together without being the same. Otherwise wouldn’t that just be so boring. 😉

A blue and white kind of Monday.

I love a collected home. A little something new, something old, something blue 😉 That’s how that saying goes, right?

Today’s tip- The bigger the rug the bigger the room. ✨

So much time, effort and energy goes into planning and designing a space. From selecting the carpets and colors to the position of sofas and every tiny detail in between. It’s hours of work. Hours of debating and reconfiguring. I take each choice I make very serious. This is someone’s home. Someone’s biggest investment. That’s a big deal and when clients trust me with that I don’t take the responsibility lightly. There is so much that goes into creating spaces. Want to learn more? DM with inquires.

Garden dinner ootd. The best way to dress up a pair of shorts is by pairing it with dressier shoes (Gucci loafers are always a good idea) and a polo. I always wear a belt. Always.

Yes, I eat Chick-fil-A. A southern stable 😂

I’m often asked, “what’s the most important

I’m often asked, “what’s the most important thing to look for in a home?” LIGHT! To me, natural, sun drenching, bright, beautiful light is so important! It’s something you absolutely can’t recreate or add to a home. It has to be there. I love big, bold windows that let the light pour into a space.

This week I’m helping a client look for a home in Boston. So light is up there on the must-have list, because you can fix almost anything else. The other two big things are the kitchen and the closets. Gotta have plenty of space for bags and shoes.

Every home needs a library. Or actually, a space that serves many functions. A space like this that is warm and inviting, a place to relax, or work, or entertain, a room that feels like home. So creating a place where the owners can play games, watch a movie or even work was ideal for this young family. I think it feels elevated and inviting all at the same time which I love.

A lounge in the making! This historic home has many amazing spaces and this room is truly special. Lots of natural light and a unique sort of octagonal shape. We wanted the wallpaper to be the main driver of the design. @degournay hand painted these branches to fit the space so no limb, flower or bird is cut. It creates a magnificent effect. And of course we needed some leopard elements (my favorite) I can’t wait to get the furniture installed here too. Stay tuned for that!

Historic homes are some of my favorite homes to st

Historic homes are some of my favorite homes to style. I love a property that is full of rich history and character. The client’s personal style can dictate how you merge classic and modern elements. I always say the interior of a home needs to match the exterior but that doesn’t mean you can’t use modern details in an older home. In fact, sometimes brining both vintage pieces with modern decor creates the most dramatic impact. A home should always feel collected.

This primary suite is incredible and I really wanted the bed to be the main feature. Too bad @hermes no longer sells fabrics. They were stunning.

For the love of leopard… and all the other custom details that go into creating a space. From custom drapes to painted floors- we did it all in our sunroom. Yes, these floors are actually hand painted. 👀See more in Stories.

From paint to wallpaper and all the little details

From paint to wallpaper and all the little details. A lot went into creating this space. We wanted something unique, something inviting and full of character where we could entertain or just hangout. Bobby and I both love green so we started there and I knew we wanted chinoiserie notes. I often pull design inspiration from fabrics, this room was that way. The color and details of these beautiful chairs gave me tons to play with in the rest of the space. The tented effect might be my favorite design choice in this space. Or maybe the draperies. But I’ll save that for another day.

The room we get asked about most! Our sunroom was

The room we get asked about most! Our sunroom was an addition. When you entertain everyone always wants to congregate in the kitchen but it’s not an ideal space to talk and socialize. We added this space to give us more room to host and it’s become so much more than that. Now sometimes we eat dinner in here, we read and relax and of course, entertain.

Our living room redesign is complete. What started

Our living room redesign is complete. What started with inspiration from a beautiful teal throw from Cartier lead to beautiful drapes, new seating and reupholstering a sofa with a fabric we fell in love with over 20 years ago. The impact is incredible and we just love how it all came together.

See the original space in my story.

Travel is good for the soul and the spirit. And creativity. Feeling refreshed and rejuvenated after a wonderful trip to Europe. The food, the views and every experience was so incredible. I’m taking inspiration from several places we visited and beyond excited to utilize these ideas on upcoming projects. From color and texture to art and fabric, there is just so much rich history and design to enjoy. We had a truly wonderful trip!

I had to share some beautiful stills of this space after posting about it Monday. The details in this room are some of my favorites. Hand painted @degournay wallpaper. The magnificent bed is upholstered in a teal silk velvet, made by @alfonsomarinahome . The bed covers are in a hand painted pink linen with butterfly motif and soft pink silk drapes. More of this stunning property is coming soon.
