Welcome to the second installment of my tile series. Today’s color: BLUE! I kind of felt like I was on Sesame Street just then…like I’m Elmo telling you the letter of the day. Now I have the “what’s the letter of the dayyyyyy” song stuck in my head. Which is kind of ironic considering I was just listening to Cardi B which is for sure not rated G.
There is a very special place in my heart for kids. When I first moved to NYC, I worked as a nanny. This is a common occurrence in this city; most people, unless they have landed their dream job right away (go them!!!), have a side hustle. Rent is high and you need money fast. Interviewing takes a lot of time and you need to make money until you do the thing you set out to do when you moved here, the city of dreams and heroes (the sandwich…and I guess the people).
I’m pretty excited about today’s post. I have almost 2,000 tile designs in my personal design inventory and when it comes to tile, I’m basically like Ariel in The Little Mermaid when she’s in her little cave of treasures singing, “but I want moooooore”.
Hey! Typically I have been writing blog posts weeks in advance and then scheduling them to go live, but this week Design Love Fest’s new
In case you missed it, I’m an interior designer. Designing spaces with different styles and colors comes pretty naturally to me. I love risk taking because I can visualize it in my head–so the outcome isn’t scary; I already know how it will look. It occurs to me though, that other people aren’t able to do this as easily. That’s why they update their space once a decade, and then *WHEW* they are done and don’t have to worry about it.
Today, I’m showing you this really super awesome kid room. It’s so so lovely. This design makes me feel like it belongs in a Redwood tree in a fairy forest. It is dreamy and airy and precious and soft and warm and oh so much yes.
I love the opportunity to use color, texture, and pattern. Most people shy away from it, but if it’s done properly, it will look great every single time. What’s best about mixing patterns is that it automatically gives you a sense of nostalgia. Like, when you remember how your grandma’s house looked. There was pattern everywhere!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I am so thrilled it’s finally 2018. Wasn’t 2017 filled with a bunch of things you talk to your therapist about? Whew, glad that’s over.
To start this new year off right, I am making this shoppable blog post about my favorite design of 2017. This is the Daring Dining Room.
This post is going to be a fun one. I obviously love all forms of art and I currently want to move because I am running out of wall space for MORE ART PLEASE. I would thrive in a space that would let me art to my max. Art is so fun and so personal and I feel like this is turning into a PSA. Putting art in your home is such a wonderful way to show off that personality of yours.
This post makes me supremely happy. It is the second in my French inspired series. In my last post about my French inspired KITCHEN design, we talked about what makes it truly French inspired? What are the elements of classic French bistro design?
