It took me years to paint these doors but I thought of it every time I went upstairs. I tweaked the blue after starting with a darker shade and figured, all along, that I can always go back to white. The best thing about acting on a creative inclination is not only seeing an idea realized but that once it’s done you can move on to the next one. ❤️💚💙💛

I love how this expansive mural turns a crumbling building into a work of art and the parking lot into a gallery

Gender-neutral needn’t be boring or beige. My clients didn’t know what they were having when we chose this playful elephant print for their nursery. When the bouncing boy arrived we played up the blues and greens elsewhere in the room.

Even my littlest clients can appreciate the countless coordinations with a classic tartan. While synthetics can be temping I usually opt for 100% wool rugs because they are easier to clean, will wear better with time and are perfect for playtime.

Saturday staircase inspiration: The Glenburn Hotel, Rothesay, Scotland. While often associated with dusty, dated dining clubs, a colorful tartan reads nearly neutral under foot and played the right way can feel downright modern. This forgiving classic comes in an endless array of patterns and pigments and is great for high traffic areas. While I can’t take credit for this design or photo I can tell you what I will be packing if I ever make the trip. Who’s with me?
