Next Layer — SET DESIGNER

To know me is to know I love movies and series.
I don’t just watch them… I study them.
The set design.
The lighting.
The mood.
The rhythm of every room.
It puts a spell on me. Maybe it's better if it's my pleasure instead of my work. I always thought my final destination as an artist would be Set Design.

Instead, life made me a Personal Stage Designer.
Your home is your stage.

How it feels affects how you feel.
I need a home to emotionally hold the people living inside it.

Stylize, not accessorize.
Foundational design is both masculine and feminine
Topical is generally more feminine....for me anyhow

Scale changes everything.
Too small and a room feels nervous.
Too much clutter and the energy breaks apart.

But when scale, texture, lighting, and rhythm align…
the house starts telling the story for you.

Like a beautiful film set.
Then comes the soundtrack.
Music tells me who you are faster than almost anything else.

Your EDGE

Some homes feel like jazz.
Some feel cinematic.
Some feel like old records playing softly in another room.
This is why my homes never feel “decorated.”
They feel scored.
Like a film.
Like a scene.
Like a life fully lived inside of it.

REMOTE DESIGN……
When COVID shut the world down, everything came to a halt.
I got COVID almost immediately, so I was already home before most people understood what was happening.
At first, everything slowed down.
No energy.
No normal rhythm.
But after about six weeks, I adjusted.
And then the calls started coming again.
Because life was still happening inside people’s homes.
Women were still running households, raising families, managing schedules, and trying to create comfort during uncertain times.
People were shopping online constantly, but once everything arrived, they didn’t know how to pull it together. So I helped.
What started as simple guidance turned into full remote design.
FaceTime.
Zoom.
Texts.
Emails.
Whatever worked… we made it work.
I completely changed the way I designed.
I streamlined my systems, adapted quickly, and honestly… it went beautifully.
I saw people needed help, so I met them where they were.
Without even realizing it at first, I created a remote design business.
No travel.
No wasted time.
Still curated.
Still intentional.
Still deeply personal.
The year after shutdown, my business increased 400%.
We all felt safe.
And we were creating.
Honestly, during a difficult time, it became some of the best medicine. Love medicine

I still design this way today.

HOW I DESIGN
So why now, after all these years… Social Media?
Honestly, I kind of love it.

I heard authenticity is on trend…

I’ve always kept my business private and exclusive — for myself and my clients. I never wanted volume. I wanted the right projects, the right people, the right energy.

Because true Interior Design is personal.

You are inviting someone into your private world to help shape the way you live.

I’ve learned not every client understands that great design is not a transaction — it’s a collaboration. A layered, emotional highly personal process.

The difficult experiences taught me something valuable: they clarified exactly who I design for.

I care deeply about my work.
But that’s also why my work has soul.

I love creating homes where life unfolds — where families gather, holidays happen, children grow up, and memories are made.

And strangely enough, writing about my work here has helped me understand my own perspective even more clearly.

So here I am… exposing myself a little more than usual.
And honestly, it’s been kind of cool.

Memorial Day is a day of remembrance honoring all American military personnel who died while serving in the Armed Forces. It is specifically dedicated to the ultimate sacrifice made by fallen heroes, rather than a celebration of living veterans or all who have served

Sunday morning thoughts…

Sprezzatura.

The Italian art of looking effortlessly elegant.
Nonchalantly rich

This is the heart from where I design

In Florida, life moves differently. Your home has to move with you.

I may start my morning at an architect’s office, meet a client by the pool in the afternoon, walk a construction site with contractors, then end the evening at dinner with clients or friends.

Day to night.
Flats to heels.
Ease with elegance.

Anyone can do “perfect.” But can you design something perfectly askew?

That takes confidence.
That takes rhythm.
That takes restraint.

Perfect is so overrated.

I find myself drawn more and more to layered cottons, softened linens, worn woods, beautiful leather, natural textures, and pieces that feel collected over time instead of purchased all at once.

Real fabrics.
Real comfort.
Real living.
Nothing screaming for attention.

Ironically, that effortless look is much harder to create than an over-designed room.
Because restraint requires discipline.

And I think people are craving that again.

Homes that feel grounded.
Rich.
Restful.
Not stiff.
Not staged.
Not trying so hard.
Especially in Florida.

You want richness….but you also want to exhale the moment you walk through the door

Luxury today feels quieter to me.

Series side step;
It’s okay if you can’t do it. I can’t do what you do.
Don't push it if it doesn't fit. These are expensive mistakes.

We have some of the finest designers in the world sharing and educating people online now. And honestly, they offer incredible products, design advice, and information. I learn from them too.

But if you don’t know how to apply it… it simply becomes more information.

That’s where balance and rhythm come in.

And that’s the part I really wanted to share here.
What actually goes into making these design decisions?

Because good design is not random. It’s layered. It’s thoughtful. It’s calculated. And over time, it becomes instinctual.
It’s a knowing.

I’m sure my entire life contributes to the way I design, hence the stories. But I do believe the strongest designers are naturally wired this way. Almost everyone I know in this business comes from some kind of lineage connected to design, building, architecture, art, or fashion.

It’s in them.

And one of the biggest misconceptions people have is that design is about choosing your favorite colors or buying beautiful things.

It’s not.
It's about creating an AMBIENCE.

Most colors are not even the right attitude for certain interiors or exterior walls

And one of the most important lessons in design is understanding the moment something has to step back so something else can come forward.

That’s magic.

The positioning.
The placement.
The rhythm of everything working together.

That’s what creates the feeling of a space.
And when that happens, even after all these years, that part still turns me on.
That’s why foundational design is so important. It’s about layers. Scale.
Proportion.
Texture.
Energy.
Restraint.

And restraint is a big one.

More is not always better.
Sometimes more is just more.

One thing I’ve learned after doing this for a very long time is that purchasing beautiful things is actually the easy part.

Putting them together well? That’s the art form.

I walk into spaces all the time where the scale is off, the colors are off, or the room just feels disconnected. Not because the pieces are bad, but because no one taught them how everything has to work together.

There actually are rules in design.

We just learn them through years of experience, studying spaces, making decisions, solving problems, and understanding how people live.
The balance of all in your life.

That’s why designers and decorators can save people money in the long run. We help people avoid expensive mistakes and create spaces that feel cohesive from the beginning.

And it’s okay if this is not your natural strength.

Very few people are truly great at it.

This is a practical art form. A very unusual combination.

It’s like painting.
You can buy every color and every kind of paint in the world… but that alone doesn’t create a masterpiece.

You still have to make it make sense.

That’s really why I share all of this.
To teach people that great interiors are not about excess. They’re about understanding the equation of the space and the feeling you want to achieve in your space.
And when you finally understand that equation… everything changes.

Call me if I can help you. I work with people at all stages of their home design.

How I Design
Series II — Part VI
Dark Feminine Design

My Dark Feminine Side. A nd my feminine side.

Some people mistake it for masculine energy because I work mostly with men — Contractors, Architects, Builders, Developers. But honestly, I don’t need to live in my masculine all day. The men around me handle that strength beautifully, and I deeply respect and adore them for it.

What I bring into my work is my feminine energy… and especially my dark feminine side.

She’s intuitive. She notices everything. She sees the real you.
She understands sensuality, tension, comfort, mood, lighting, textures, rhythm, mystery… the emotional side of a home that people don’t always talk about openly.

That side of me is what creates the “sexy rooms.”
And yes — there is a huge desire for this right now.
People are craving homes that feel alive again. Private spaces. Romantic spaces. Retreat spaces. Rooms designed for connection, intimacy, softness, confidence, beauty, and passion.
Not making sexuality something shameful. Making it something healthy, beautiful, loving, and human.

I think women, especially, have spent years carrying stress, pressure, responsibility, schedules, and survival mode. But when a woman feels safe, rested, desired, emotionally held, and deeply comfortable in her environment… everyone around her benefits from that energy.

The home changes. The relationship changes. Life changes.

Design affects emotion more than people realize.
There’s a reason sensual storytelling, romance, and emotionally charged books became such a massive cultural movement.

People are hungry for feeling again. For fantasy. For connection. For beauty. For spaces that awaken something inside them.
And honestly… I love designing from that place.

My Lane…
Let me also be clear about something:
I am not one of those designers doing the physical labor themselves. Even when I stage a home, professionals handle the installation. My role is the designer — always.

But from the very beginning of a project to the final reveal, my eyes are on everything.
My work happens in front of the project. The vision. The direction. The scale. The mood. The editing. The emotional experience of the home.

The actual hands-on work?
That belongs to true masters of their trades.
The artisans.
The contractors.
The installers.
The craftsmen.
And honestly… why would I try to do what they do?
That’s real luxury. For my clients and for me.

I love the brilliant people I create with. I make sure we hit my vision, but they are the ones physically building it. That collaboration is one of the reasons I’m so passionate about what I do. I truly love these guys.

And because I design in Florida, most of my clients genuinely enjoy sourcing their own art once they’re living here. It becomes part of their new lifestyle.
We have incredible galleries. Amazing art festivals. This is their entertainment, and they get to put a story with the piece.

I actually love taking clients on gallery tours. I think expensive art buying is best done with a designer who understands the client deeply and knows which galleries fit their personality, lifestyle, and home.
Those are some of my favorite days.
I’ll direct the collection. I’ll handle the major pieces and the visual story of the home.

But I’m not interested in filling very expensive real estate with inexpensive accessories just to “finish” a room.
I think that devalues the home. And honestly, the work we all put into creating it.

I know my lane. And my clients want me there.
Because one of my biggest responsibilities is making sure their money is spent beautifully, intelligently, and with lasting impact.

THE SCENT OF A HOME
Ode to Al Pacino’s “Scent of a Women”

The scent of a home slows you down the moment you walk through the door. It makes you breathe deeper. Softer. More present.
This is where you begin noticing all the invisible layers we customized for you.
The feeling. The mood. The energy.
People love this part…

One of my favorite things I’ve ever felt. Is the scent of a home.

Not perfume. Not overpowering candles. Not chocolate cookies.

The essence of your home aroma. It’s really the essence of you.

A subtle fireplace smell drifting through the rooms… warm woods… soft linens… ocean air… something sensual quietly moving through the space.

It’s understated, but incredibly powerful.

And honestly… so sexy.

cute story....
This fireplace is from my best friend’s family’s home; she lived across the hall from me on Lake Michigan in Chicago. And her family lived in a beautiful home in Evanston. I spent many holidays with her wonderful family. Their big, round dining room table was always full of a fabulous cast of characters. Nights like those are how I made it through 11 winters on Lake Michigan. Brrrrr
You could feel this fireplace all through the home, because you could smell it. Such a great feeling, made everything richer.

HER.
This is an AI-generated photo; it's not too far off. I would love this hair color, although it looks a little ratty. My face is still crooked, so they have that right. Makeup is pretty close, altho they never get my eye color right and I do like to wear an all white linen outfit. But this was on my feed, so why not ? Kind of fun.
When it comes to photos, I don't take a bunch. I grew up in Miami, where most things shouldn't be photographed...just teasing, I was an angel!
As for my projects, I mostly have construction photos. The actual work. Areas that need attention. Documentation really.
Warning: almost all of the photos I show, I really just moved the construction stuff to the side. And grabbed a photo. But mostly my photos are for documentation, not for pretty.
When my projects are done, I'm out of there and generally on to another project. I usually have a few going on.
And if you've ever tried to go back after your clients arrive.
1) It's uncomfortable
2) It's already lived in, so I have to bring in a cleaning service, then I have to stage it, then bring in photographers
3) Also, who wants to go back to an old job
4) And it's my client's private residence now
5) And I don't like any of this part
