This kitchen deserves its own love language, honestly. 🍊 That wet bar’s backsplash — the confetti of terrazzo squares in dusty rose, sage, and charcoal — was the moment we knew this whole project was going to have a pulse, and also the moment a tile guy politely asked if we were sure during the dry lay. (We were sure.) Design tip from this one: if you’re scared of a bold pattern, put it somewhere you don’t have to commit to full-time — like this off-set wet bar, a powder room (this house has two crazy fun wallpapered ones!), or a laundry nook. Low stakes, high payoff. Then you walk into the main kitchen and the ceiling just opens up, those vaulted beauties wrapped in wood and that triangle window framing the trees like it was painted there on purpose (it wasn’t, we just got lucky and I’m taking full credit anyway). Five stools lined up at that quartzite island because good kitchens are built for company, not just cooking. This is what happens when a client trusts us to mix a little fun with a lot of warmth. All that warm natural light doesn’t hurt either. ☀️🍞

Snaps from August, with love xo

Baby Hayes is almost 1 and this year flew by with all the firsts of this little squish.

I’m a wallpaper pusher but these two different wallpapers intersecting in this family room x breakfast nook is sheer perfection.

A project almost fully wrapped, and this blue paint leap of faith paid off in full.

Slab yard ju**ie. Can’t stop, won’t stop.

Lennox had a solo scene during the local theater Shrek performance and this mama heart exploded with pride.

This local Sonoma project is texture and interest, it’s going to be so good!

A weekend at Lake Almanor with some of our favorite humans was a reset for the soul… and one last hurrah of summer days before school started.

New build in Kentfield and the kickoff mood board direction x initial tile/wallpaper concepts are just.so.good!

I love when my workday gets broken up by scooter visits from my two older gals. Love having a studio space right off the downtown Sonoma Square.

Three bathrooms and two kiddo rooms coming right up! I love a client project that is just down the street from me, and I just adore this sweet family.

Girls started school and crushed it. Off to the races!

A partial install in SF and this boys bedroom is the coolest. Hoping to get this family fully moved in by the end of this month, waiting on the stragglers of furniture to arrive🙏🏻

A wallpaper dream in another SF project. 8 rooms total being wallpapered and I’m (not so) patiently waiting for the furniture to be ready! (Summary of every interior designer out there😂)

This cheeky monkey, always covered in food and ALWAYS smiling.

I love a classic San Francisco home, can’t wait for this beautiful kitchen and living room/dining room to be complete!

Lime wash across a full home. SO YUMMY. Goodbye gross kid handprints up the stairs, hellllooooo beautiful.

Soccer is full go. Both kids. Dad as a coach. Tatum working her t**h off on her ball handling skills, six and spunky.

This San Carlos new build is fully complete, family is moved in… countdown to the photoshoot. This little girls room, swooooon.

And a large sample box is always more than a box. Race car races… off to September. Let’s gooooo!

There’s a moment in every home reno job site tour when you catch yourself walking the same path the family will walk every single day — past the dining room where birthdays will get celebrated, into the kitchen where everyone will inevitably hang around, and then past the island into the family room where everyone ends up piled on the couch by 8pm 🏡 That’s exactly what we were chasing with this Tiburon project: sight lines that let you stand in one room and feel connected to the next, finishes that speak the same language without repeating themselves, and just enough contrast (hello, moody map wallpaper 🗺️) to keep every space feeling like its own little chapter. We layered rich darker woods against warm whjtes, let brass do some quiet connective work room to room, and made sure the kitchen island could make a statement✨ The best homes don’t feel like a set of matching rooms — they feel like one continuous story, and this one reads front to back exactly the way this family lives it.

My advice for designing a guest bath or a kid’s bath… choose color in either the tile/wallpaper/lighting/vanity/paint/reallyjustchooseanything and add the fun hexagon tile shape for a punch✨

There’s a version of hosting that means everyone has a seat at the table, literally. This dining area was designed to stretch when it needs to (extendable table, hello big holiday dinner) and stay cozy when it’s just us on a random Monday. The art on these ledges tells our actual story — a roller coaster print from one of our first dates, an Alfred Hitchcock print because my husband will talk your ear off about Psycho if you let him, photos and postcards layered in like a scrapbook nobody asked us to make but we made anyway. The leather chairs were a non-negotiable once we had a toddler in the house — you can sink into them for a three hour dinner party AND wipe them clean the next morning, which is the kind of design detail nobody tells you that you need until you need it 😅 the rug adds all the warmth a nook like this needs, stains and all — truly, who cares, it’s a rug, it’s meant to live a little. And the chandelier is on a dimmer, because the best dinner parties are the ones that quietly go from bright and lively to low and lingering without anyone having to get up 🕯️ Design a room that holds your real life, not just your highlight reel.

Confession: I’m a wallpaper pusher 🙋‍♀️ I will find a reason to put it somewhere in every project, because it gives a space personality and wraps you in a warm hug the second you walk in. Case in point: this SF garage. And I mean GARAGE garage — dusty concrete, dark with racks, a rogue basketball situation 🏀 — that we transformed into a media room, office and full bath, all while somehow keeping half the actual garage intact (we needed somewhere to keep the surfboards to the Christmas decor!) My favorite design move in the whole space? Wallpapering the BACK of the built-in shelving instead of the walls. It’s a cost-effective way to get a huge punch of personality without ordering a lot of paper, and it makes the custom built-in wall a statement feature. Sometimes the smallest design decisions make the biggest impact 💙 ”

What a July. So much incredible work in progress right now — while also wrapping a photoshoot, a final styling install that came together just as we’d hoped, and working with collaborative and kind clients who make this job a joy (the ones who trust the process, even when a hiccup pops up along the way — thank you for that). And in between it all, our annual summer trip to the lake house in Minnesota to see my folks, soak up the lake air, and soak in this baby of mine before she turns one 🥹 Designing homes people love will always be the work — but making memories with the people I love is the whole point. Here’s to a summer full of both 💛
