This room is a good reminder that cozy doesn’t have to mean cluttered.

One of my favorite parts of this transformation is how much warmth we added without adding a lot of “things.” The romantic light fixture helps anchor the pitched ceilings and brings a softness to the room, while the brass lamps add contrast to keep it feeling fresh.

I always love layered neutrals, vintage art, and the way they worked together here to create a sense of calm. Even the decision to use motorized linen shades instead of drapery helped keep the look feeling tailored and intentional.

The last days of school always have me dreaming about slower afternoons, soaked towels, and long pool days!

This pool house was one of those spaces with good bones but not much personality. It started as a very simple structure and became a cozy, durable hangout spot that works just as well for watching the kids swim as it does for catching a game with friends.

One of my favorite reminders in design is that comfort often comes from texture more than “stuff.” We added a linen-look vinyl wall covering, an earthy outdoor rug, and slipcovered swivel chairs that can handle real life. The oversized artwork and lamp help blur the line between indoor and outdoor living.

Now it feels less like an outdoor room and more like an extension of the home.

Swipe to see the before!

A comfortable chair. Natural light. A few meaningful pieces. And enough breathing room to think.

This space is one of my favorites because it feels calm without feeling empty. The oversized mirror enlarges the space and quietly reflects the greenery outside. Throughout the day the light changes the entire mood of the room.

This was originally just a pass-through to a large basement room. Nothing special. Just a place you move through to get somewhere else.

During the design process we kept coming back to it though… it felt like it wanted to be more than a hallway.

So we added a small table and a few chairs and turned it into a spot to play cards or work on a puzzle. Simple, but it completely changed how the space is used.

It’s a good reminder that the in-between spaces matter too.

My client already had this beautiful piece by Arno Elias, and it set the tone immediately. Once that was in place, everything else fell into line.

The glacial movement–inspired wallpaper by was the perfect backdrop. Subtle, textural, and just interesting enough without competing with the art.

The ball pillows were intentional. I chose a Kelly Wearstler fabric to echo that same sense of movement, but in a softer, quieter way.

Designing around something meaningful almost always leads to the best rooms. If you already have a piece you love, let it lead.

Proof that simple really does work.

You don’t need a complicated centerpiece to make a statement.
Just a large vintage vessel and a few structural branches, and you’re good to go.

It adds height, movement, and a little drama without cluttering the table or getting in the way of real life.

One intentional piece can completely change how a space feels. Swipe to see the before!

This teen wanted a beachy space that felt fun and light, but not too young. I think we nailed it!

Enough personality to feel special, but still calm enough to grow with her.

That balance is always the goal with teen rooms. Letting them feel seen without locking them into a phase.

If you’re designing for a teen, start with how they want to feel in the room. The style usually follows.

Before + after… but make it real life.

I love shooting finished spaces but most homes don’t have a fresh loaf of bread perfectly styled on a pedestal. Or a bowl of just-washed grapes waiting for its moment.

So, I design and style for how people actually live. Which means the stack of cutting boards peeking out in the background will be staying.

Good design should hold up in real life, crumbs and all. Swipe to see the before!

I’ll always throw in a piece with curves if I can.

This custom linen sofa does all the heavy lifting on its own. It adds just enough drama and sophistication without asking for attention.

And the ball pillows? An easy accent that adds interest without trying too hard.

Sometimes one sculptural piece is all a room needs to feel finished. So if your space is feeling a little flat, try adding a curve.

This one was such a fun process. Designing for a teen boy meant walking that line between masculine and playful and proving you don’t need to default to a blue color palette to get there.

We leaned into texture, contrast, and a little edge instead.
Dark, moody walls.
Warm wood.
A few unexpected details that make the room feel cool and not themed.

If you’re designing a room that needs to grow with someone, start with how you want it to feel and let the rest follow.
