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?
I think one of my favorite design styles is taken from the French. I love love love those phenomenal black French iron windows and that black and white penny tile. When looking at apartments in NYC, which is something I do too often, it makes me so so happy when I find a bathroom with original black and white penny tile.
Hey there! As I’m getting older (I just turned 32!), I find myself having more traditional leanings. OH GOOD GOD. Granted, now my version of traditional is different than most, but still, times they are a changin’.
Maybe it’s my obsession with master designer, Brian Patrick Flynn, who designs all the HGTV dream homes, but I have recent leanings towards plaid everything.
