The Girl’s Got Style: A Colorful Little Girl’s Room

January 18, 2018

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).

My Favorite Tile Options: Black + White

January 15, 2018

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”.

How to Update Your Design Style

January 11, 2018

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.

Vintage Inspired Kid Room with SO Much Whimsy!

January 8, 2018

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!

Select Art for Your Home Like a Pro

January 4, 2018

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.

French Bistro Inspired Kitchen

December 18, 2017

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.
