A wonderful evening celebrating color, craftsmanship, and a little creative experimentation!

Thank you to Benjamin Moore and Visual Comfort & Co. for bringing together such a lovely group of design professionals for an inspiring evening.

It was a pleasure meeting the talented Michelle Gage reconnecting with industry colleagues, and discovering the beautiful handcrafted lighting from Pooky Lighting

The highlight? Getting our hands into the creative process and painting our own lampshades using an exclusively curated palette of rich, warm, and beautifully unexpected autumn colors.

There is something refreshing about stepping away from our everyday projects to simply experiment with color, exchange ideas, and enjoy the creative process.

And what a lovely reminder that even the smallest details-like a lampshade-can bring personality, color, and a little unexpected joy to a room.

Thank you for a beautiful evening filled with inspiration, creativity, and wonderful company!

As we continue celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month, I wanted to turn to another extraordinary Colombian creative voice: Beatriz González.
Painter, printmaker, art historian, critic and curator, González spent more than six decades examining Colombia through images-its everyday life, its popular culture, its history and, increasingly, its periods of violence and collective grief.

What has always made her work so compelling is the tension within it.
The colors can be wonderfully bold and almost playful. The imagery can initially feel familiar. But look a little longer, and there is often something much more complicated beneath the surface.

González frequently began with images she found in newspapers and mass media, reinterpreting them through her own distinctive visual language. She even took painting beyond the traditional canvas, applying images to everyday furniture and objects-transforming the familiar into something entirely different.

Perhaps that is what I find most fascinating about her work: color wasn’t merely decoration, and familiar objects weren’t merely what they appeared to be. They became vehicles for memory, observation and meaning.

Perhaps that is what I find most fascinating about her work: color wasn’t merely decoration, and familiar objects weren’t merely what they appeared to be. They became vehicles for memory, observation and meaning.

As a designer, I find that idea particularly resonant. Color and the objects we live with have an extraordinary ability to communicate, sometimes joyfully, sometimes provocatively, and sometimes in ways we only understand after looking a little closer.

González once said, “Art says things that history cannot.”

Her remarkable body of work certainly did.

Remembering Beatriz González and celebrating the extraordinar] contribution she made to Colombian and Latin American art.

A new month, and a reminder that inspiration doesn't always arrive where we expect to find it.

Sometimes it comes through architecture, art, or beautiful materials.
And sometimes it comes from a quiet moment, an unexpected connection, or simply stepping outside our usual surroundings long enough to notice something differently.

These moments from Colombia reminded me how important it is to remain curious-to experience beauty in all its forms and allow ourselves the time to simply take it in.

I'm carrying a little of that feeling with me into October.

More curiosity. More noticing. More room for the unexpected.

Thank you

When should you hire an interior designer?
My answer often surprises people:
Around the same time you hire an architect.

The most successful homes are shaped long before the furniture arrives-through early conversations about how we live, move through a space, experience light, connect to our surroundings, and ultimately bring architecture and interiors together.

Working on our residential project in Colombia has reinforced this belief for me. So many of the decisions that will eventually shape the finished interior are being considered now, while the architecture itself is still taking form.

Because great interiors aren’t simply fitted into architecture afterward.
They begin in conversation with it.
In my latest journal entry, A Home Begins Long Before the Finishes, I’m taking you behind this less-visible part of the process-and answering why timing can make such a difference.

A recent visit to the newly renovated The Frick Collection left me inspired by far more than its extraordinary collection.

I found myself equally captivated by the building itself-the proportions, architectural details, intimate rooms, and the remarkable relationship between the art and the spaces created to hold it.

What I hadn’t fully appreciated before my visit was just how intentional Henry Clay Frick had been about the future of his home. The Fifth Avenue residence was designed by Carrère and Hastings to accommodate his growing collection, and from the earliest plans, Frick envisioned that the house and its art would ultimately be shared with the public.

More than a century later, that vision is still unfolding.

The recent renovation by Selldorf Architects has brought the building into a new era-restoring historic spaces, opening the family’s former private rooms to visitors for the first time, and introducing contemporary needs while preserving the intimate residential character that makes the Frick feel unlike almost any other museum.

As a designer, I found that balance fascinating.
How do we honor what came before while making room for what comes next?

It’s a question that extends far beyond museums-and one I’ve been thinking about ever since.

Thank you, Debbie Morton, , for such an inspiring evening-and for giving the design community an opportunity to experience the work of so many incredible artists.

It was wonderful to reconnect with industry friends, including the lovely Danica Satell while discovering new work, exchanging ideas, and even getting a special peek upstairs at some of the pieces that have yet to make their way into the gallery.

There is something about seeing art in person-the scale, texture, color, and presence-that simply can’t be replicated on a screen.
We are always searching for art that brings another layer of personality and meaning to the homes we design, and Morton Contemporary continues to be such a wonderful Philadelphia resource for discovering work that can do exactly that.

Thank you for a beautiful evening, Debbie. We left inspired. 🎨🥂

As we continue to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, I wanted to introduce you to the work of Colombian-born artist, sculptor and jewelry designer Jorge Caicedo Montes de Oca.

I have always been drawn to the extraordinary intensity of color in his Bakelite jewelry-the rich reds, yellows, greens and oranges, combined in bold, sculptural forms that somehow feel both vintage and remarkably modern.
But Jorge’s work becomes even more fascinating when you understand the story behind it.

Trained in sculpture, silversmithing and ceramics in Bogota before continuing his studies at the Art Students League in New York, Jorge eventually discovered vintage Bakelite and, in his own words, it was
“love at first sight.”

He began transforming collectible Bakelite from the 1930s-50s into contemporary jewelry-bracelets, necklaces, earrings, rings and pins-approaching each piece with the eye of a sculptor. His work appeared internationally and entered collections including The Costume Institute at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

His knowledge and passion for the material also led him to participate in the documentary All Things Bakelite: The Age of Plastic, which tells the story of Leo Hendrik Baekeland and the invention that helped usher in the modern age of plastics.

Jorge passed away in January 2025, but his work leaves behind such a wonderful reminder of what can happen when material, craftsmanship, history and imagination come together.

Perhaps that is what I find most inspiring about his jewelry: he saw possibility in a material from another era and gave it an entirely new life.
And, of course, the color.
For someone who has always believed in the transformative power of color, how could I resist?

I invite you to follow along to see some beautiful pieces Piedad Ceballos Caicedo and on FB: The Art of Bakelite

Midweek Inspiration.

Sometimes the smallest rituals can shift the way a day feels.

Fresh flowers, a little time in the kitchen, and the simple pleasure of creating something beautiful just because.

There is growing research around what we instinctively seem to know: bringing elements of nature into our everyday surroundings can support our sense of well-being, reduce stress, and positively influence how we experience a space.

So, consider this your midweek reminder:
Buy the flowers. Arrange them yourself. Enjoy the process.
Beauty doesn’t always need a reason.
Sometimes, it’s reason enough that it makes you feel good.

Appreciating the small details.

New patterns, beautiful textures, unexpected color-and a little afternoon inspiration in the studio with La Maison Pierre Frey
There’s something special about seeing new collections in person. The way a fabric feels, how colors interact, the scale of a pattern-these are the nuances that can completely shape the direction of a room.
Sometimes inspiration begins with just one of them.
Because in the end, it’s all in the details.

ON SITE | BEFORE DECISIONS BECOME PERMANENT

Site meetings aren’t simply about checking construction progress.

They’re opportunities to catch conflicts, question assumptions, and understand decisions before they become permanent.

Drawings can tell us a great deal, but standing inside a space changes the conversation.

You begin to understand the actual proportions of a room. How one space relates to another. Where the eye naturally travels. How a doorway, window, ceiling condition, or architectural detail will eventually affect the interiors.

And sometimes, what made perfect sense on paper needs to be reconsidered once you experience it in three dimensions.

This is also where collaboration with the architects Par Arquitectura ® , contractor, and client becomes especially valuable. We can walk through decisions together, ask questions in real time, and consider not only how something will be built, but how it will ultimately be experienced.

For me, a site visit is always about looking ahead.

Where will the furniture eventually sit?
How will people move through the space?
What will we see from one room into the next?
Are the decisions being made today supporting the home we originally envisioned?

Because the earlier we recognize what needs attention, the more opportunity we have to resolve it with intention.

Some of the most important design decisions happen long before a room looks finished.
