So… you want to hire an interior designer? Let’s talk about what that actually means.

One of the questions I hear most often is, “How do you work?” But the real question is… “What exactly am I paying for?”

And honestly, it’s SO much more than choosing pretty things, as most people think.

It’s custom cabinetry and millwork.
Designing Lighting. Carpets. Upholstery. Window treatments. Furniture.
It’s measuring… and more measuring. 😉
Reading plans. Coordinating with plumbers, electricians, builders and specialized trades.
Checking details, managing orders, navigating lead times and solving problems before they become expensive ones.

It’s making sure every element harmonizes with the next—from the architecture and finishes to the furniture, lighting and smallest details.

And you don’t necessarily need a full renovation to work with me.

Maybe you need help with one room.
A kitchen.
Lighting.
Furnishings.
Or simply figuring out where to begin and create flow from a Kithen remodel.

But when you choose full-service design, you’re not just hiring someone with good taste.

You’re hiring experience. Expertise. Relationships. Resources. Problem-solving. And someone who knows what needs to happen before it needs to happen.

Because there’s a BIG difference between shopping for a room and designing one.

That’s the value of an interior designer. ✨

Paneled walls. White-on-white. Clean. Simple. Effortless. 🤍

Except… not even close. 😉

This is one of those rooms that looks like it just happened.

It didn’t.

And here’s another designer secret: when we go white, it’s not a one-size-fits-all, one-white-fits-everything solution.

White is a whole world of undertones. Warm, cool, creamy, crisp, gray, blue… and what looks beautiful in one room can look completely wrong in another.

When you’re working with a restrained palette, there’s nowhere to hide. Every little detail suddenly matters.

The width and spacing of the paneling.
The profile of the molding.
The right white for the architecture and natural light.
The sheen of the paint.
The texture of the upholstery.
The mix of woods.
The scale of the furnishings.
The lighting.

And yes… even the things you don’t immediately notice.

That’s the secret to a “simple” room: it actually requires MORE editing, layering and precision—not less.

Because anyone can put white in a room.

Making white feel rich, dimensional, layered and effortless?

That’s where the designer earns her keep. 😉

“When I’m told, ‘I want the floors to be the same throughout…’”

I get it. Consistency creates flow. But flow doesn’t have to mean everything is the same.

Every finish we select helps define a space—flooring, walls, millwork, stone, lighting, furnishings—and the magic is in making all of those choices speak to each other without sacrificing depth or personality.

One floor throughout can be beautiful, especially in a loft or truly open-plan home. But when walls begin to define rooms, the design needs to evolve with them.

Different spaces can have their own identity while still feeling completely connected.

That’s where a home starts to feel layered, collected and designed—not flat.

What did this scheme turn into? 🌴✨

Coastal fun… with a little Palm Beach personality.

What started as a design scheme evolved into layers of color, texture, pattern, and those unexpected moments that make a space feel like you.

Because coastal doesn’t have to mean predictable. 😉

My absolute favorite kitchen trend—and one I think is here to stay.

The stone floating shelf above the stove and prep area. 🤍

It’s the perfect spot for the things you actually use every day—your favorite utensils, oils, spices and cooking essentials—without sacrificing the beauty of the kitchen.

The secret? The scale and length of it based on the kitchen layout. Of course make it pretty. Use uniform vessels and containers that coordinate with your stone, cabinetry and hardware, so it feels curated rather than cluttered.

This idea is clean, simple and has been used in European kitchens for years. I’m starting to see it make its way into American kitchens as we speak.

Trend? Maybe. Timeless? Absolutely.

And honestly… I’ll take a beautiful kitchen that works for real life every time.

JOY.

I chose JOY as my word for 2026. ✨
Before I knew there might be an astrological reason to keep it around.

2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse—energy, movement, courage, freedom. And as we move toward 2027, we enter the Year of the Fire Goat.

Now here’s where it gets interesting…

I’m a Capricorn—the Goat in Western astrology ♑️
AND an Earth Monkey in Chinese astrology 🐒

So maybe choosing JOY wasn’t so random after all. 😉

And maybe I’m supposed to carry it into 2027.

Because JOY, to me, isn’t just a feeling. It’s something we can create around us. In our homes. In the way we live. In the things we surround ourselves with.

Maybe that’s why I love this quote:

“Your home is where you’ll spend most of your life… create one that brings you joy.”

So I’m curious…

What are you?
Tell me your Western + Chinese zodiac signs and let’s see who we’re supposed to get along with… and who the universe might be warning us about. 😂✨

We’ve been caught scheming again… and it’s not what you think. 👀

We’re not plotting against anyone. We’re plotting beautiful spaces.
Moving walls, mixing textures, obsessing over details, and dreaming up the next “how did you think of that?” moment.

Just another day at VELLA Art & Interiors ✨

Designing the Escape!

When I designed this pool house, I wanted it to feel like you had stepped away to your own little island escape.

Cool coastal tones, natural textures, relaxed furnishings, and just enough tropical influence to make you exhale.

I love creating spaces that feel different from the main house—a reason to wander outside, slow down, grab a drink, and stay awhile.

A little vacation, right in your own backyard. 🌴

From concept to construction—this is where the vision starts becoming real.

Multiple site visits later, the demo has revealed what we couldn’t see on paper, and every discovery has led to a decision—some expected, some completely unexpected.

This is the part of the process where design moves beyond the drawings and into the actual space. We’re adjusting, refining, solving, and making sure every detail supports the bigger vision.

We’re not at completion yet… but look how far we’ve come.

Because a great renovation isn’t just about the final reveal. It’s about everything that happens between the first concept and the moment you finally get to live in it.

More to come. The transformation is underway.
