One of the neatest things about being “this age” (36, ahem…) is that so many friends and former colleagues seem to be pursuing their entrepreneurial dreams – and totally killing it. It’s especially cool when an old college friend and suitemate starts a new business that has created an opportunity for our paths to cross once again nearly…

Some designers might cringe at the mandate of creating a bedroom around a specific “theme.” Add to that professional sports team decor and the often garish colors that come along with it, and the probability of a visual catastrophe is quite high. In the past few months I’ve done color consultations for two separate Boston Bruins…

I visited a client this morning who is in the midst of renovations, and got to see a lot of great progress (and troubleshoot a couple of questionable painting crew “decisions” while there was still time to make right – phew!). We also thought it would be a great time, since everything had been pulled off…

I’m pretty much still floored that my work was featured in the Boston Globe today (check out the online version here). I’ve been working hard to develop my portfolio, and of course hoped (dreamed!) to be published sometime in the distant future, but I honestly had no idea it would happen now. I’m so grateful.

I almost hesitate to write this post, because the previous owners of our home (and their interior designer) did such a lovely job of decorating and maintaining it, before we took over stewardship of this 1896 Victorian Colonial Revival home last year. The “before” pictures you see here – from the MLS listing – are…

I have a Google alert set up for “family-friendly interiors” so I can keep up with what other designers and decorators are doing that they consider to be Interiors For Families. I could get fancier and more comprehensive with my keywords, but I haven’t – and interestingly, it’s a pretty quiet feed. There was a…

I recently had the opportunity to work with one of the best and most experienced interior and architectural photographers in the business – Eric Roth. He produced all of the images in my online portfolio, but is of course far better known for his spectacular work for little shelter magazines like Traditional Home, Elle Decor,…

For the first time ever, my husband and I have purchased outdoor furniture. We are new to having usable outdoor dining space, and are really looking forward to entertaining friends and family “al fresco.” For now, we have a deck – though in the future we will dine on a stone patio of some sort (more…
