I recently completed an E-Design project of an 1865 farmhouse in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We were remodeling the master bathroom to incorporate some modern elements to their classically old home. #shower #bathroom #remodel #masterbathroom #tile #ceramic #handmade #square #rustic #modern #farmhouse #black #white #wood #vanity #restorationhardware #californiafaucets #pittsburgh #matteblack #calacatta #countertops #vintage #interiordesign #oldworld #design #losan

One thing I truly appreciated about this project was that my client was a creative-type, just like me. He gave me a few guidelines for needs & parameters and then let me run with it! We had a very narrow area to squeeze a tiny laundry room into and not only did we make it work, but we made it cool and masculine too. #tile #annsacks #custom #laundry #hansgrohe #blanco #lg #washingmachine #dryer #modern #backsplash #ceramic #blue #grey #concrete #countertop #cabinetry #slatted

This family was relocating from Northern California to sunny LA and brought some of their heavier NorCal furniture with them. The task was to find to put a LA twist on their existing rustic pieces. We did this by bringing in some authentic mid-century modern pieces as well as a few other modern elements to mix in. I didn't want to do away with the rustic-industrial nature of what they brought with them since these were the things that told their story. The goal was to add to

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

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

We are teaming up with Dwell on Design this weekend in LA!

I am one of those people who likes to rearrange my bookcase multiple times before I land on a layout that I truly love. The nice thing about it is that you can always add to it or move it around whenever you'd like. It is one of my favorite things to tackle when I'm styling a client's home. It usually takes some time but if you think of it like a puzzle, you can keep working at it until you feel it is put together in a way that feels good to you. Here's some bookcase styling

Thanksgiving is a time to bring the family together and make tons of food. To me it is that as well as a time to make a beautiful tablescape and then watch it get destroyed with crumbs & spills. In honor of this food-filled day, feast your eyes on some impressive table settings!

I have been in major rug mode lately since I am hunting for beautiful vintage rugs for multiple projects right now. I've always been a crazy rug person (my living room has vintage rugs scattered all over) but this has made me appreciate them even more. Rugs can be used like artwork - they add color, life and texture to a space and can really ground the room (no pun intended). In tandem with The 411 on Rugs article that I recently wrote for Homepolish's magazine - I have compi

This week I want to focus on how art can make the space truly special. It can add so much personality to an otherwise very simple room. The spaces I've featured in this post aren't necessarily simple, but the way that they have executed the use of art in a room is stellar.

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.

I have always been a fan of black & white - it could be in fashion, art, decor - you name it! If you look at my closet, its quite comical how everything is pretty much black, white or grey. Recently I have fallen madly in love with black and white kitchens. The combination, while being so classic, can have such a beautifully dramatic & modern twist that blends so nicely with naturalistic elements - completely defining my whole design philosophy. Check out some of these beauti

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

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

I find myself drawn to interiors that captivate the beauty of simple design. I say, let's free ourselves of clutter and over-designed spaces. Cheers to the art of minimalism & subtlety. Here are just a few inspirational pictures I found that capture the essence of simple design.

I recently started working with a fun young couple that just moved to Los Angeles from Chicago. They are originally from the East Coast and appreciate a little bit of the East Coast rustic elements - but want a vintage modern twist on it. Exactly my cup of tea! My client and I were coincidentally both following this cool vintage store on Instagram: Sunbeam Vintage. Neither of us had ever been there, but we loved what they were posting - so we decided to check it out. I soon r
