SLOWING DOWN FOR SUMMER

Lately, I’ve been thinking less about designing rooms and more about creating places to pause.

Part of that inspiration has come from my own family. This summer, we’ve been making a conscious effort to slow down a little. More coffee on the patio. More lingering conversations. More great food. More laughter. More time together and less time staring at screens.

It’s made me realize that the spaces my clients use most often aren’t always the grand living rooms or formal dining spaces. They’re the corners that invite you to stay a little longer.

A husband’s retreat created almost entirely from pieces already owned—favorite artwork, collected treasures, layered textiles, and daybeds that become the perfect spot for an afternoon nap.

A cozy wet bar lounge inspired by Soho House in West LA, where leather chairs, marble surfaces, and a view of the garden have become the backdrop for evening cocktails and conversation.

An overlooked corner transformed into a game table for chess, cards, and uninterrupted connection.

A casita designed for guests that unexpectedly became the family’s favorite gathering place—proof that the most successful rooms are often the ones that simply make people feel good.

A quiet bedroom nook overlooking the pool, where morning coffee comes before the joyful chaos of family, grandchildren, and summer days.

The common thread isn’t luxury finishes or perfect styling.

It’s creating spaces that encourage rest, conversation, connection, reflection, and enjoyment of everyday life.

Sometimes the best design isn’t about adding more.

It’s about making room for the life you want to live.

Summer feels like a good reminder of that.

A little refresh for a starter home in Louisiana for my dearest friend’s son. The bones of the house were already right — it just needed some thoughtful updates, a little refinement, and a more modern point of view.

Since we’ve worked together on previous projects, this one came together very easily without me ever needing to visit in person. We handled everything virtually through phone calls, FaceTimes, inspiration photos, and lots of back-and-forth conversations. A great reminder that good communication and a clear vision can make remote design feel incredibly seamless.

We kept the renovation simple and budget-conscious by focusing mostly on paint, lighting, decor and styling. The kitchen received the most love, and got a fresh new look with deep smoky blue cabinetry, updated countertops, new appliances, and warm brass lighting that instantly elevated the entire space without changing the original layout.

The exterior received fresh modern grey paint and new, clean “raw” wooden pillars. Throughout the homes’ interiors, we layered in deeper shades of blue and green with soft smoky undertones to create strong accent walls that grounded each room while still feeling relaxed and sophisticated. Black-and-white photography added a classic, clean feel throughout the home.

One of my favorite parts of this project was mixing inherited pieces — including the dining room hutch and several vintage rugs — with clean, modern, budget-friendly furnishings from West Elm. The combination gave the home warmth and depth while still feeling fresh and current - perfect for a young man’s starter home.

For the living room, I recommended a beautiful piece by Deanna Fainelli, A Dog’s Perspective - a fun way to start his art collection journey.

Sometimes great design is less about completely reinventing a space and more about editing thoughtfully, honoring what already works, and layering in just enough contrast, texture, and color to make it feel elevated and collected.

A layered transformation at this Madison Club casita ✨ Once the homeowners settled into the space, it became clear the room needed another layer — something that would soften the architecture, provide privacy, and create a greater sense of comfort while maintaining the clean modern aesthetic.

We explored five drapery concepts before selecting these beautifully tailored pleated panels, designed to complement the warmth and geometry already present in the home. The subtle movement in the fabric, combined with the desert-inspired tones, creates softness against the strong architectural lines and natural stone textures.

To complete the space, we introduced new abstract artwork that draws from the home’s earthy palette — warm woods, layered neutrals, rust, sand, and golden light. Every material and textile was intentionally selected to feel cohesive, inviting, and quietly luxurious.

Sometimes the most impactful transformations come from a few thoughtful changes — layering in texture, softness, art, and warmth to completely shift how a home feels.

If you’re ready to elevate your interiors with intentional updates that make your home feel more refined, comfortable, and beautifully collected, we’d love to help. ✨

Most people would have replaced these.
…I didn’t.

I’m always more interested in what something could be… than what it is.

These chairs had the bones—they just needed a new point of view.

We reimagined them in a bold cut velvet from Pindler, adding structure with tailored piping and letting the pattern do something unexpected against a more traditional frame.

The goal wasn’t just to update them—it was to make them feel like they truly belong in this space. Connected to the artwork. In conversation with the great room. Intentional.

Because the most interesting spaces aren’t built all at once… they’re layered. Collected. Reconsidered.

And sometimes, the pieces you already have just need to be seen differently.

📩 If you have something you’re not ready to let go of—but don’t quite love anymore, let’s rethink it.

This lounge area was originally a wall with a series of recessed niches—well-intended, but ultimately underutilized.

It wasn’t supporting how the home wanted to live.

My client came to me with an inspiration image of a softly curved shelving unit, along with a clear direction: she wanted a wet bar, but without it ever feeling like one.

So we reimagined the entire wall.

We removed the niches and designed a fully custom installation—layered, curved cabinetry set against a dramatic marble slab, with refrigeration and a sink integrated quietly within. Lighting and seating were considered just as carefully, turning it into a space meant to be used, not just seen.

Now, it’s where they gather and entertain.

What was once overlooked has become integral—functional, architectural, and entirely tailored to the way they live.

From forgettable… to the most used room in the house.

Proof that nothing has to match perfectly to work—layering color, texture, and a little history can completely change how a space feels.

Now it’s where everyone ends up… guests and family alike.

Art has the power to transform a space… but even more importantly, it has the power to heal.

Last night, I had the honor of attending Mackenzie’s Hearts, an annual event created by artist Emeline Tate in memory of her daughter, Mackenzie. Each year, artists come together to create heart-inspired works—each piece carrying love, remembrance, and connection.

This year, the proceeds support the Loving Way Foundation, founded by the incredible Dawn McCoy, who has turned unimaginable pain into purpose—advocating for and supporting children and families affected by abuse. During Child Abuse Prevention Month, the timing felt especially profound.

One piece in particular stopped me in my tracks:
“You and me kid.”

As a designer, I’m always guiding clients toward pieces that make a space feel personal and meaningful. But as a mom… this one hit differently. It brought me - and every mom in the room - back to that unforgettable moment in The Family Stone—a reminder of the deep, unspoken bond between parent and child.

This is why art matters.

Because sometimes, it’s not just something you hang on a wall—
it’s something that reflects who you are, what you’ve been through, and what you hold closest.

Grateful to witness how art can bring people together, spark meaningful conversations, and support such an important cause. 🤍

I’ve gotten so many questions about these chairs recently, and honestly… they’re one of my favorite examples of what can happen when a client trusts the process.

My client already loved Christian Lacroix and owned a couple of pillows in an incredible botanical print. When we came across this fabric together, we both had that moment of “oh wow… this is special.”

The only catch? Upholstering the entire chairs in it wasn’t realistic. So instead of forcing it, we got creative.

Since these chairs face the entry, I suggested we use the Lacroix fabric just on the backs - so the very first view into the room would feel layered, colorful, and very unexpected. The rest of the chairs were done in this gorgeous woven textured green that ties into the sofas and adds warmth and depth.

I was very intentional about how we cut the pattern (nothing makes me happier than maximizing a beautiful fabric), and we even had just enough leftover to create the lumbar pillows - which tied it all together.

What I love most is that this is exactly how great projects happen - collaboration, creativity, trust - and finding smart and economical ways to make a space feel special.

And yes… they absolutely deliver a wow moment when you walk in. That part makes me very happy.

Design should feel exciting, fun - and definitely not intimidating. And projects like this are why I love what I do.

Design is always about people as much as spaces.

Grateful to support the Loving Way Foundation and their upcoming Sip • Shop • Support event benefiting Child Abuse Prevention Month.

I love when beautiful spaces, thoughtful design, and meaningful causes come together to build community.

I’ve also shared one of my favorite small design details from a previous Loving Way event - a wonderful candle I’ve been using in my own home - which perfectly blends purpose with design (and brings me joy every time I light it).

Events like this remind me that design isn’t just about how a home looks… it’s about how we live and support each other in it.
