An artisan collaboration that’s very special to me is the Adam Wallacavage’s octopus Sconce, in the Jersey Shore Cottage powder room. I was born a land-locked ocean/water baby. I’m so happy to be able to now spend time on the NJ Shore and smell salty, brackish water on a daily basis. Although I didn’t want this project to scream “beach,” I wanted the ocean/sea creature references to be very meaningful. Octopi are a favorite of mine, (please don’t eat them!). Wallacavage is a true artist and his octopus arm sconce came out even more beautiful than I anticipated.

Some moodboards are just for me, dreaming a little bigger than a single room…

A moody, atmospheric boutique hotel is not currently on my desk. But if it ever is, it starts here.

Photo one is the room at its most photogenic. Photo two is the room at 9am on a Monday, doing its actual job.

Both are the same design decision. The lacquered shelving and Sand Pebble grasscloth wallpapered walls aren’t just backdrop, they’re what makes a narrow, shared, chore-heavy office feel like somewhere you don't mind starting your day.

Every finished bathroom has a version of itself covered in blue tape and half-set tile. This is that version, next to the one you'll see in person.

Zellige tile on the walls, herringbone floors underfoot and wall sconces flanking a custom vanity. This little behind-the-scenes look is really a peek at the craftsmanship behind every project.

At LKD, before we ever discuss a single paint color, there are other things we must discuss first…

1. I always ask how a space will be used, both its current and intended use and this gets the conversation started. Too often we find that client living spaces aren’t optimized and also under-utilized, particularly in kitchens.

2. We also ask about art, music, literature and movies. Often we find that clients can’t always describe their personal decorative style, but they can speak to a love an art form that we can extrapolate from.

3. Health and wellness are also top of mind, meaning, we ask do our clients want to feel in their spaces? How can we mitigate environmental impact with their project?

This is a piece of the game plan before we’ve even opened a paint deck.

Before a single material or floor plan gets decided, I ask shore clients how they'll actually use the house: weekends only or all summer, kids and sand or a quiet retreat, year-round or closed from October to May. That answer shapes everything else.

The whole game plan is on the blog now.
