Architecture and location have arguably the biggest impact on your home decor. For instance, I tend to love homes in either sprawling Southern mansions or high rise apartments and lofts in major urban areas. But even though I live in (and design homes in) mostly suburban apartments and family homes, I take style lessons from the places I love, and adapt them to suit the architecture I’m working with. Over on 55 Downing Street last week, ...

Lucky for you, I rounded up five ways to drape or fold your throw blankets when you’re not snuggled up under them. Head over to the 55 Downing Street blog to see all five!

One of my favorite things to do in my own home (and that I consider when selecting products for clients), is to make purchases with lots of versatility. Especially for young people who will move often before buying a home, a piece of furniture that is flexible and will adapt to fit multiple homes and decor is worth its weight in gold. When Naomi over at Design Manifest showed how she had used her David Hicks ...

In some exciting news, I was asked to be a contributor over on the 55 Downing Street blog! I’ll be contributing about twice a month through the end of the year. 55 Downing Street is a part of Lamps Plus, but they have their own great inventory. Affordable furniture, accessories, art, and more. Last week my first post went up, and I would love it if you’d head over there and check it out (maybe leave a ...

I thought it might be fun to do one last wrap up post about our former apartment. I never quite got to finish it the way I’d have liked, and my plans to have it professionally photographed before we moved proved to be too much for me to handle in the flurry of leaving the state. So we’ll have to make due with a few of my favorite snapshots over the two years we lived ...

West Elm is consistently one of my favorite sources for low-budget pieces for myself and for clients. They have been putting out stylish and affordable pieces season after season, and the new arrivals for fall are no exception. They especially killed it in the accessories this time around. Some of my faves: This console is to die for. This chandelier has a nice industrial casualness. It’s table lamp counterpart might be finding a place in my home… I can’t get ...

One of the major home purchases on the horizon for us is a new sofa. We’ve been wanting one for years but considering the expense and that we have had a perfectly serviceable (just discolored) sofa, the purchase has been on the back burner for some time. We decided last spring that we’re moving that up the priority list and will make a decision after the wedding in October. With the move across two states, I ...

I took this project on as Ryan was interviewing for his new California job and as the wife in this little family was seven weeks or so from her due date with baby #2. So needless to say, we were on a time crunch and had an entire house to furnish from scratch. Almost a month ago now I turned this design over to them, and we’ve been purchasing and making small changes along the ...

We don’t even know where we’ll be living yet in California (just a few weeks away now!) but that hasn’t stopped me from gathering up some basic inspiration ideas when I’m up at 3 a.m. stressing. We’ll possibly be in some kind of generic apartment complex, but I’m hoping for white walls and big windows – hardwood floors if we’re really lucky (though a parking spot and washer/dryer are definitely more important). Once we’re in, ...

Get caught up on this Styling Series by reading about the essential pieces, arranging 101, all about bookcases, and all about tables and bars! I tend to like a less styled mantle rather than an over-styled one. The busy look can be hard to pull off without just looking cluttered. In fact, I have a few stand-by formulas for a beautiful mantle (and I believe in tweaking for the holidays!) The first to hang a large mirror over the mantle ...
