Read MoreRoom Reveal: A Colorful Living Room Reboot with Global Influences
I am excited to share a project we recently completed for a wonderful couple in Needham. They had settled in nicely to their light-filled 1990’s contemporary colonial home, but wanted to make their living room more ‘grown-up’ and suitable for both entertaining, and quiet time with their three young children. Unsure what to do with the space,…

After a topsy-turvy, over-scheduled week, all I want to do when today is done is put my feet up and RELAX.

I recently received the following question on an Instagram post from several months ago: “Hi! I know you posted this a long time ago, but I came across it as I am trying to choose a green for my front door. I ADORE your door, so I wanted to copy it, but I’m absolutely shocked…

I’m sorry for skipping out on my Tuesday blog post this week. My posting schedule has not changed; I just had a momentary case of creative and writer’s block. All better now! Days of sourcing fabrics for client projects (like today) tend to get the juices flowing again :). Onward… I am a big fan…

Have you ever heard people say that dogs and their owners start to look like each other after awhile? I totally believe this to be true. While I was photographing a room in my house a little over a year ago with Eric Roth, it dawned on me that maybe dogs and their homes also begin…

This week’s find is a little bit country and a little bit rock and roll. It is also, like many past finds, a bit of a chameleon. It’s a rug! No wait…cement tile! … ? ? ? It’s actually vinyl. A solid sheet of vinyl with a very cool rug-like pattern. The vinyl floorcloths from Spicher &…

Sometimes when I first walk through a new client’s home for the first time, I kind of wonder “why am I here? This looks perfectly lovely.” Usually when we dig into things, there is a good reason why I’m there, as there is a particular problem to address, and a look and feeling they would like to…

We made it to the end of the first week of 2017! It feels good to be getting back into the swing of things, although I have to say, I am really dreading the ‘putting away of Christmas,’ which we have decided to do this weekend. As fun as it is decorating for the season,…
