Today, I’m feeling bittersweet. This afternoon, we’re installing the “final” room in one of our clients’ homes. We’ve been working together for over three years now, room-by-room, and I’ve loved every minute of it. My client is super sweet, relaxed and incredibly trusting. I adore her style and what she’s after for her home. Every time I […]
March 26, 2014Our house was built in 1973 and has a pretty atypical layout. When we visited it during the open house before we purchased it, the floorplan was one of the things I loved about it, but I also knew it wouldn’t work for us. I loved that the house was both wide and shallow, allowing for lots […]
March 25, 2014I love spending time in my kitchen. When we saw our house for the very first time, I wasn’t quite sure what to do with it, because I knew it would set the tone for the entire house. Functionally, I knew I wanted to get rid of all upper cabinets and add open shelving- it’s the way […]
March 20, 2014I’m honored to have been a part of this season’s Washingtonian Mom Magazine, a new magazine for & about DC Moms. Terri Sapienza wrote a great article about 5 local designing mamas, including (gorgeous!) friends: Marika Meyer, Iantha Carley, Nadia Subaran, and Stuart Nordin. Pulling the shop together for the photoshoot was insanity for us. It […]
March 19, 2014I have a black thumb. It’s like the black thumb of death for any plants that enter our house, the “plant hospice,” but there are few plants in my house right now that have survived for over a year and I thought I’d share my secrets with you. The hardest plant to keep alive in our […]
March 17, 2014Today’s pretty little Friday moment is a picture of my living room ceiling which has a custom sputnik chandelier by Vintage Oasis. (who did some of the lights for Mad Men) They were such a pleasure to work with and I’m crazy about the spikey star bulbs. When I first bought it, I figured I’d want to […]
March 14, 2014Yesterday I had the pleasure of hosting a gathering for a Great Falls Women’s Group and gave a little impromptu talk in the studio about how to freshen up your home & make it look like ‘you.‘ I broke it down into 5 doable steps and answered questions. {Our shop!} Here’s a teensy tiny little […]
March 13, 2014It has been a crazy-busy week so far here!! I loved reading everyone’s comments & emails on the last post (The Toy Wars) and many of you had me cracking up. It definitely seems like the issue of toys is a hot button (who knew???!! 😉 but do I hope you know that I adore my kids […]
