    Highland Park Kitchen

    Highland Park Kitchen

    This was a full remodel of a very outdated Craftsman kitchen for a young couple in Highland Park, Los Angeles. We initially wanted to tear out a wall and open it up into the breakfast room, but when the walls were opened up, we received an unfortunate surprise that this entire portion of the house did not have any studs. I have no clue how it stayed up all these years. Since stability was an issue that we had to address, we decided to keep the kitchen smaller and add the nece
    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

    So Jaded

    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

    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.

    Artsy Fartsy

    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.

    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

    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.

    Tile Me Pretty

    Tile Me Pretty

    Tile is one of my favorite things to shop for. There are so many beautiful options out there and it can totally jazz up the space with great texture while still adding a naturalistic element. It can either dress up the space or bring it down a little bit - both can totally make the space depending on the vibe you're going for. Its important to pay attention to the different scales of tile based on the size of the room you are installing it in as well as how bold of a statemen

    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
    Gimme Some Drama!

    Gimme Some Drama!

    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

    To the Wall!

    There are so many ways to do a gallery wall well. Whether you have a common element throughout or have a mixed conglomeration of different found objects - its a fun way to showcase your art even if you're in a small space. Here are a bunch of my personal favorites.

    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
