Out of Fog feels like a beautiful example of what timelessness really means to us.

So often, clients come to us worried about making choices they’ll eventually get tired of. But we don’t believe timeless design is about choosing the safest or most neutral option.
The homes that last are the ones that feel personal. The ones filled with colors, textures, materials, art, and collected pieces that actually mean something to the people who live there.

That is what we love about this project. It feels layered, lived-in, and deeply reflective of our clients, and to us, that is what keeps a home from ever really going out of style.

We’re so excited about the kitchen island design for our Edgewater Cabin project! From a quick hand sketch to our senior designer custom designing the legs, we just had to throw the drawings in Gemini to see the design to come to life.

This project is bursting with special details. The island alone has so many of them. With the scalloped cabinet fronts, hardwired lamps, and the double bullnose edge detail on the countertop, we literally cannot wait to see it once it’s built. And how cool that we can get a sneak peak using AI! The AI rendering is definitely not perfect, but we still love playing around to see what it comes up with.

Using AI for project visuals is just a tiny tiny piece of what I’ll be discussing in my talk at the Haven Workshop by next week. I cannot wait to share more about our processes there.

Some details from the primary bedroom at our Out Of Fog project. The colors and patterns in here are just so good. I love how the light filters through the oak trees outside. It makes the whole room feel like a true retreat.

One day into the install at our Baby Bear Cottage project and I am already so in love with this corner of the primary bathroom. Imagine soaking in this tub after a long day of skiing or hiking. Dreamy!!

We wanted this cottage to be a place where guests can immediately relax, unwind, and just be together. We envision a space that wraps you in a warm hug the moment you walk through the door. It is a concept that is deeply Swedish and core to everything we do.

It is already coming together so beautifully and I cannot wait to share more of the progress with you this week.

Can’t wait for the professional photos !!!

So excited to finally share that our Out of Fog Retreat is featured on today.

This project has so many special details that we’ve been holding onto for a while, and I am so happy to finally share them. From the vintage pieces throughout the home to handmade cabinet hardware by the client, this home is full of character and personal pieces that reflect the family.

It was a joy to work with and Bruce Tucker Construction, and I’m so proud of the end result.

You can see the full gallery on Rue Magazine’s site now. Thank you so much to and for this honor.

Materials w/ Mia | #001 - Wood

Of all the materials we use, wood is perhaps the most honest. It is also the one people try to manipulate the most. We see so much effort spent trying to bleach out the grain, stain it to hide the warmth, or seal it so tight that it never changes color.

Shiny new perfect things are beautiful, but I believe the beauty of wood isn’t just in the first day, but in its thousandth. Those water spots on a kitchen table or the worn edges of a handrail are the marks of a life well lived. They are the evidence of family dinners and morning coffees and memories collected over time.

I know for me, when my kids are grown and out of the house, I will be so happy my home shows evidence that they once lived here. Choosing high-quality, natural wood means choosing a material that evolves with you. When we stop fighting the aging process and start embracing the patina, we allow our homes to develop a soul that synthetic materials just can’t replicate.

Some of our favorite details from the Burney Family Cabin design. Honestly, every detail in this home is a favorite. Designing this space has been such a creative joy for us!

This cabin was built by our client’s grandfather and has been in the family for two generations. Now, we get to update it so it can be loved for the next ten generations, filling it with pieces that reflect the family’s fun personality while honoring its history.

From the striped tile in the bath to the custom banquette, we are choosing materials that will wear in and grow more beautiful with age. It is about building a legacy home that feels soulful and ready for another hundred years of family memories.

Curating pieces for a home is less about matching and more about a feeling. In this dining room, mixing clean, modern lines with more traditional forms makes the space feel personal and lived-in. Adding the fresh spring blooms was the finishing touch. That burst of color and organic greenery sits against a structured room in a way that makes the whole space feel layered and complete.

Mixing styles with intention gives a space a soul that reflects the people who live there. 🤎

March was a whirlwind and a very creative month here at MSD.

We had multiple site visits, two design presentations, and the massive milestone of signing the lease (and starting demo!) on our new studio. The highlight was definitely a day in the studio with working on a ceramic lighting collaboration. This is something we’ve been dreaming up for a long time and it was SO fun to finally get to create together. It’s been a little chaotic, but so much fun.

April is shaping up to be just as full. We’re heading to Lake Tahoe for the Baby Bear Cottage install and photoshoot, new floors are going into the studio (finally!), and we’re unveiling a publication of a recent project that I’ve been keeping under wraps. Plus, I’m deep in prep for my talk at The Haven Workshop by in May.

These are the types of months I used to dream about when I first started this, getting to work on projects that fill my cup, meeting with clients who feel like friends, and having this incredible new team by my side through it all.
