Spring cleaning
Sometimes simply changing a few things can transform a space. For this little refresher project, we recovered the sofa in a lovely grey linen and added in tiger pillows and a grassy green cashmere throw. It really updated the sofa with a whole new look and feel. I like to think of it as a […]
Snapshot
Here’s a small snapshot of a project we’ve been working on. We paired beautiful grasscloth on the wall with a custom headboard in a blue/green linen with an double antique nailhead detail and an oversized stacked crystal bedside table lamp. We are loving the direction of this project and can’t wait to share more as […]
Hung up
Lately, I have talked a lot about the framing of art and my process for picking the perfect frame. In addition to the framing, the hanging of the art is equally important. One important aspect is finding the right height: don’t forget that not everyone is the same height. So some people actually like their […]
Change
Change is good. It’s often scary – but in this case it’s just more exciting! After having my bedroom a dark, dark blue for over five years, I was ready for a change. Along with changing the paint color, I decided that I was ready for a new bed as well. I loved my […]
Nursery design
Spring is really in the air here in San Francisco. Last week we had quite the heat wave: several consecutive 80 degree days – which is quite the rarity for us here! We are loving this project that we are working on for a client’s nursery. The client’s only requests: (a) No pink or blue […]
Organized chaos
Sometimes at the end of a client meeting, we have so many layers – from fabrics to art to custom area rugs – that it just looks like a mess. I like to think of it more as “organized chaos.” So many layers and pieces to put together to make the puzzle fit […]
Photo shoot
Here are some behind-the-scenes glimpses from a photo shoot of a recently completed modern kitchen. The styling was rather simple, with branches and succulents. Love the pops of fresh green colors from the limes and watermelon. Here is a peek of the bar from the photo shoot too. Have a great weekend!
Roman shades
A few weeks ago I shared a Madeline Weinrib fabric that I was using for roman shades. I love the way that they tuned out – mounted on our client’s French doors out to her beautiful garden!
Fabric options
There are so many beautiful fabrics available on the market – it can be difficult to edit down to avoid overwhelming clients when make selections for the final cut. When I put fabrics together for a room, I am always looking for a balance of textures (you don’t want all the fabrics to have the […]
A perfect fit
This beautiful vintage-marbleized lamp is one of a pair that we are working on for a client’s guest bedroom. Finding a lamp shade that fits correctly can be a challenge. We typically end up having them made at our custom workroom so that they fit perfectly. Here is a model that we tried out last […]
