If you read – and enjoyed – this past Tuesday’s post, then this one will be right up your alley! Marimekko epitomizes the color and pattern-happy side of Scandinavian modern. In researching my blog post, I was reminded of a very cool product they offer – coated cotton fabric. Many of its most popular designs…

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past ~10 years, you’ve surely noticed the influence of Scandinavian modern design on the interiors of today. Clean lines, varied textures, warm materials, connection with nature, intentional coziness, and what I like to call the ‘bathed in white’ aesthetic, are its hallmarks. If I were to…

Well, hello there! I’m just emerging from an extended pause, which I’m going to blame on my home renovation. The last month or so, leading up to and of course including the holiday season, was memorable, and incredibly stressful. That being said, it was also mission accomplished. We began work on the project in April,…

It really takes a village to bring a show house room to fruition. I’ve been blogging a lot lately about some of the ‘villagers’ that helped to create The Morning Kitchen, which I designed with Dianne Aucello of Edesia Kitchen & Bath Studio. Today I wanted to devote some time to two distinct sides of…

If you weren’t able to…

Today I am sharing a *surprise* reveal of a project we completed earlier this year, and recently photographed. In many ways, this was not our ‘typical’ client – no children, no dogs, just a husband, wife and their bashful cat living together quite happily in a 70s-era colonial in Sudbury, Massachusetts. They found us, as…

On Halloween night, you may think about ghosts, goblins, candy, witches and pumpkins, but I’ve got my mind on lanterns, knockers, high-gloss paint and coir mats. I really enjoy getting up close and personal with my neighbor’s homes while trick-or-treating with my boys – particularly, their front porches. It’s like the super bowl of curb…
