    Modern Farmhouse Bathroom

    Modern Farmhouse Bathroom

    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

    Man-Cave with a Splash of Detergent

    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
    Loft Living in Los Angeles

    Loft Living in Los Angeles

    I had a client call me telling me that they had a large bookcase that they didn't know what to do with. I thought, ok this will be just a simple styling job. When I walked into this loft, we both started laughing at the monstrosity of this 17 foot high built-in bookcase. The client had filled maybe the first 3 shelves with various books and accessories that she already owned, but the rest of was up to me to decide what to do with it. It was hilariously intimidating but a task
    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    This was a full remodel of a very outdated Craftsman kitchen for a young couple in Highland Park, Los Angeles.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
    Cozy Casual California

    Cozy Casual California

    This was one of my favorite projects to work on because it honestly felt the most "me" compared to any of the others so far. I designed this for a young family in Studio City, CA with two kids under the age of 5 and a dog. They wanted their home to be comfortable, casual, but fun. So in entersed a massive blue & red vintage rug, a giant 10 foot sofa covered in ultra durable fabric and some fun lounge chairs for cozy reading nooks. This is also a great post to announce that I
    NorCal Vibes in LA

    NorCal Vibes in LA

    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

    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

    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.

    Ways to Style a Bookcase

    Ways to Style a Bookcase

    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
    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!

    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.

    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.

    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
