There's nothing wrong with loving a trend. Seriously.

But here's the part no one really says: the more trend-forward your home is, the more it will exist in a very specific range of time. And not in a charming, "this feels collected over the years" way. More like: Oh wow… it's 2023 again.

An old house in the right way.

Which is to say, the bones are worth protecting and the previous owner's 2008 renovation is not.

No plumbing. No appliances. No complicated layout. Just a table, some chairs, and a light fixture overhead.

How expensive could it be?

And yet somehow, it is one of the easiest rooms to accidentally spend $40 - $50,000 on.

In a beach house, every square foot has to work hard - especially when summer brings family, friends, and a rotating cast of overnight guests.

For our Point Pleasant project, we designed custom built-in bunks with four full-size beds, creating a flexible sleeping space that works beautifully for younger and older kids alike.

Thoughtful design means making room for the way people really live, gather, and make memories.

Some designers call powder rooms jewel boxes. We think of them more as a party trick.

A powder room is one of the only places in a house where the regular homeowner feels like they can really go for it.

It doesn’t have to soothe anyone to sleep.
It doesn’t need to hold a sectional, hide the dog toys, or make the whole family feel emotionally regulated.

It just has to deliver a moment. A tiny, fabulous, slightly unhinged moment of “holy $h*t.”

Virginia has a whole philosophy on this, including strong opinions shaped by nightclub bathrooms of yore. The full story and a shopping list of the mirrors we keep coming back to are on our Substack. Comment "SUBSTACK" and we will send you the link.

Swipe for the before →

One of the first things we do on a basement project like this one is to remove the door.

A door at the end of a hallway, a cheap railing, carpeted treads. That combination tells you, before you have even walked down, that the space below is secondary.

The house treats the basement like an afterthought, so everyone who lives there does too.

When we can, we open the stair completely. We carry the flooring down from the level above. We match the railing. We repeat the trim details. The basement stops reading as downstairs and starts reading as another floor of the house.

This is what cohesion looks like in practice. Small, early, architectural decisions that make the whole home feel like one idea instead of five.

Comment "SUBSTACK" and we'll send you the link to read the full piece, including why the basement is now one of the most ambitious rooms in a house over on Substack.

Nobody hires a designer because they're excited about outlet placement. We know.

Fabric is more fun. Wallpaper is more fun.

However, a gorgeous velvet on a sofa that's two inches too deep for the room is not fun.

A perfect pendant over a table that can't actually seat your family is not fun.

So we design backwards from how the room needs to work. Everything is decided in the order that protects the decisions after it.

By the time we're picking fabric, the hard work is done and the room tells us what it wants.

A home does not run itself. A mother does.

She decides where the kids do homework, where the family actually eats, which rug will survive a dog and a juice box and the occasional sleepover, and where she can sit down for ten minutes without someone needing something.

These are not small decisions. They shape how the house actually lives, and they are almost always being made by her on top of everything else she is already carrying.

We are mothers. Most of our clients are mothers. We do not take it lightly.

Happy Mother’s Day to the women whose homes we have had the honor of designing. And to the ones still running everything without help, we see you too.
