We’re wrapping up the week with this office design created during a recent Designer for a Day session. The client asked for an accessible and comfortable design that complimented an Asian inspired design style (they spent 6 years in Singapore) and incorporated space to display work and family memorabilia.

The office plan adheres to principles in the event the client needs to transition to a wheelchair in the future:

*Allow 32-36” width minimum for walkways, and a 60” turning radius.
*Rugs can help with traction, but choose low pile options with a max height of 1/4”.
*Desks must have at least 27”H leg clearance for a wheelchair or more for motorized chairs. We incorporated an electric adjustable desk from to give the client maximum flexibility.

It was an honor to collaborate with these clients to create a comfortable, accessible office space that promotes wellness and restores peace.

While most of our interior design projects are sourced from trade-only suppliers, we do source retail for Designer for a Day and Virtual Design services. We provide these clients a shopping list with links to purchase furnishings and accessories.

When I shop retail, one of my favorite places to shop is Lulu and Georgia. They offer exclusive designer collaborations, uniquely curated collections, and one-of-a-kind vintage pieces to bring your home to life.

I first started taking care of my skin around 30. After trial and a lot of error, I found some effective products and started regularly incorporating them into my skincare routine. When I got pregnant with baby 3, I had to adjust my routine because most of these products weren’t pregnancy-friendly. Just because a product is touted as pregnancy-safe, it may still contain chemicals like parabens, phthalates, and synthetic fragrances. This shifted my perspective on skincare; if a product isn’t safe for pregnancy, is it really good to apply it on my skin daily?

I decided to clean up and downsize my skincare routine. I see great results with these products, feel good about their ingredients, and spend less overall than I did before. Visit the blog to learn about my favorite clean skincare.

A cast stone fireplace adds beauty, warmth, and “wow” to a room. But when cast stone isn’t practical due to weight or budget, a great alternative is to recreate the style with wood.

With a few beveled cuts, a skilled carpenter can build a clean, modern fireplace surround reminiscent of cast stone. And it’s a lot easier to run wires through wood than stone. Adding a specialty paint finish will get you even closer to the look of real stone.

Paint is the easiest way to transform a space. Selecting a paint color for your home is very personal and can be influenced by lighting, furniture, the way the home faces, and how you see color.
