    Going Coastal in Santa Monica

    Going Coastal in Santa Monica

    When I was approached by a young family that recently relocated to Santa Monica from New York City, I knew I needed to give them a refresher so they could feel comfortable in their new Cali home. Our main focus was the kitchen that opened up to the living room, as well as making their baby girl's nursery feel California-cool! #interiordesign #design #homedecor #california #santamonica #eclectic #transitional #modern #beach #beachhouse #newyork #nursery #livingroom #kitchen #r
    Dwell on Design Home Tours: Campbell/Machado Residence

    Dwell on Design Home Tours: Campbell/Machado Residence

    I'm a little late on posting this, but let's call it Flashback Friday? Back in June I attended the Dwell on Design Home Tours in East Los Angeles and I fell in love with this house the moment I walked in the door. The Campbell/Machado Residence is located in the heart of Silverlake with views of the hills and steps from great restaurants and shops. Architect & Designer, Tim Campbell of Studio Tim Campbell, designed and resides in the home. It is tastefully industrial and cont

    I've been really attracted to jewel tones lately. I'm not a huge green person, but this jade-emerald tone is really connecting with me right now. Feast your eyes on these beauties!

    Rich Colors

    Rich Colors

    I've been drawn towards deep rich colors lately. There's something about the combination of clean bright whites and these intense colors that creates such a beautiful contrast. Its modern and bold, yet still has an element of timeless elegance.

    Happy New Year!

    Happy New Year!

    I like to see New Years as a time to meditate and reflect on the accomplishments and experiences of the past year. It is a time to be calm and welcome the coming year for all of the future adventures and accomplishments that lie ahead. In honor of that, I have put together a collection of beautiful, serene bedrooms to spread the calm and happy vibes to all of my readers! Happy New Year!

    The 411 on Rugs

    The 411 on Rugs

    I had the pleasure of writing another article for Homepolish's magazine! Check it out below. Enjoy! With the help of Homepolish's Kelly Martin, learn all about the different types of rugs that you can put in your home. I often like to start with something big when I am diving into a new project, because I want a piece to inspire both the project and the client. Choosing the rug early on in the design process is always a good starting point. The rug can be the piece that you p
    Mixing Old with Bold

    Mixing Old with Bold

    This summer has been so insanely busy that I haven't been able to keep up with my blog. I apologize. But I'm back! This week I am focusing on mixing vintage pieces with bold accents. Its a fun way to mix the old and the new.

    Welcoming Summer with Sunny Yellow

    We're focusing on yellow this week! This color is so bright and bold that its like a blast of sunshine in your face. I love the vibrant yellows because they give great life to muted colors.

    I Got the Blues

    I Got the Blues

    I'm focusing on blue this week. Blue is one of those colors that never goes out of style - it can be cheerful, serious, soft or dramatic. I personally like it if it has more grey undertones to it to calm the color down a little bit. That gives it more of a neutral base and makes the room feel a little more adult. Let's groove to the blues together! Enjoy! #blue #grey #interiordesign #home #decor #bedroom #bath #kitchen #livingroom #dining #modern #midcenturymodern #contempora
    Tickled Pink!

    Tickled Pink!

    I am not usually a fan of the color pink, but lately I have been seeing it used so beautifully. It is a color that can make a room very sophisticated or it can bring in a fun punch of excitement to a space. Pink is all about the execution - you have to use it wisely in order to make it work. I found some rooms that use different shades of pink really well (below). So in my series of blog posts devoted to color, I present: Pink. Enjoy! #pink #interiordesign #livingroom #dining
    Green with Envy

    Green with Envy

    I'm starting a new series of posts that will revolve around color. Spring has sprung and what is fresher than green this time of year? I think green is one of those colors that can be so versatile and always remains unique somehow. It can be bold and bright while earthy at the same time. It is truly a powerful and happy color.

    Serene Slumber

    Serene Slumber

    Lately I've had a lot on my plate but its all been for really exciting and good reasons. At the end of a busy day, I am reminded of how important it is to love where you sleep. Sleep is so important for allowing your body to recharge and prepare for the next day, to clear your head, to relax, and quite frankly, to keep you sane. I like to think of it as a way of thanking my body for holding up so well through all of the crazy times! Here are some beautiful bedrooms to feast y

    My Tennessee Mountain Home

    My Tennessee Mountain Home

    I've been gathering some inspiration ideas for a friend of mine who just bought a house in Nashville, TN. I am secretly obsessed with the idea of having a quaint little southern home - although I'd probably go nuts in a small town. So realistically, I'm staying in Los Angeles. But its been fun thinking of ideas for my friends place. Here are some of the inspiration shots I've gathered so far (while listening to a lot of Willie, Patsy, & Dolly of course). #rustic #interiordesi

    Going Grey

    Going Grey

    I recently started working with a couple that wanted to give their West Hollywood home a fresh new look. The task list we decided on was to completely strip down & refurnish almost the entire living room, spruce up the bedroom with new accessories, install some cool grey tile flooring in the kitchen, and upgrade their dining table and chairs. They're old style was way more colorful than the vibe we're aiming for now (they wanted a more serene and grown up atmosphere). We bega
    Go Om!

    Go Om!

    I’ve been working with a woman who is converting the lower portion of her house into a yoga studio for her yoga therapy business mixed with an airy suite for her mother to stay in when she visits. The house is located in Glendale, CA which isn’t exactly “coastal” for Los Angeles - but we’re giving it that crisp coastal vibe that will blend well with the calm ambiance that is necessary for her yoga studio. We decided to stick to a neutral but bright palette of bright whites, g
