“Just Trust Me”: Thoughts on the Client-Designer Relationship
Fair warning – I’m about to dive into some controversial waters here. And they are shallow. I’m not in the deep end. [Note to self: Watch A Star is Born again on Netflix…]. I’m including some random, pretty pictures (detail shots from my portfolio) to keep your attention, and to hopefully keep you from getting…

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. Especially…
Read MoreAdjusting Our Expectations For Paint
I will be the first to tell you that paint is one of the most, if not the most powerful tool in a decorator’s bag of tricks. It is one of the best ways to change the whole look of a room, and to make it appear fresh once again. But I want to argue…

Designer Liz Caan (who happens to be based right here in Newton, MA) has been on fire lately. I swear, every time I open a national or regional shelter magazine – there she is! Well, sometimes she herself is not pictured, but her creative, colorful and comfortable interiors are. Naturally, Liz’s work has also taken…
Read MoreSlipcovered Furniture: Family-Friendly or Not?
I see it all the time. Furniture retailers and designers (famous ones, too!) alike lauding the merits of slipcovered furniture as a great solution for busy households with kids and pets. source You know what I’m talking about – best typified by the many slipcovered sofas and chairs at Pottery Barn. Is a slipcover…

This is the second of a series of posts on the Junior League of Boston 2012 Show House. The first can be viewed here. As I made my way around the Junior League of Boston Show House last week, praying that my dying camera battery would survive “just one more room” (thankfully, it did!), I…
Read MoreFavorite Rooms at the Junior League of Boston 2012 Show House
I had the great pleasure of visiting the Junior League of Boston Show House yesterday (thank goodness for babysitters!), on the day it opened to the public. I have way too much to share for just one post, so I’ll be breaking it down into somewhat logical topics over the course of the next week…
Read MoreWhat I’m Watching This Week
It’s Sunday night and I’m contemplating a busy, yet exciting week ahead – here are some things I’m looking forward to most. 1.) Nursery Design Series on Honey & Fitz. Dina over at Honey & Fitz has rounded up some of her favorite bloggers to share their creative nursery ideas on her blog throughout this…
Read MoreNursery Theme Thursday: Mother Nature’s Son
It’s been awhile, Nursery Theme Thursday! I’ve been lacking a bit in the inspiration department, but something made me think of yet another Beatles song – Mother Nature’s Son. It isn’t one of their “hits” but it is a lovely acoustic Paul tune from the White Album that is all about being one with the…
