Safari Chairs & Sling Stools to fall in love with
Starting your art journey, even with a smaller budget
First, you have to fall in love.
The hardest part of my job as an interior designer is artwork (also, wallpaper, which honestly is just a whole wall covered in art). I work closely with clients and address artwork as thoroughly and often as it takes, but sometimes at the end of the project, I encourage clients to take a look and find art for themselves.
A clean, rustic, eclectic space for a relaxed family
I was honored to put together two designs for a client who wanted a light, bright, and kid-friendly space. Their love of saddle-colored leather was the main starting point, with layers of texture and details that come in the form of plants and interesting artwork.
A Whole Room of Furniture a Little at a Time
I am often asked at my job - what is best way to choose when purchasing a whole room of furniture that can't be afforded right away. It certainly is an intimidating proposal, and with an open floor plan, a whole living room layout, dining room layout, and entry, that is a lot of expensive pieces to buy and it feels like you need them all at once.The secret is being intentional and asking yourself how you use each of your rooms and what you would actually use most. But don't forget that your home is the place that you live and love, and for me, work, so don't forget to find pieces and details that bring you joy every time you see them.
Winter Whites
Since I read the most in the winter, a cozy corner to turn pages and admire the snow out the window is a necessary addition for my intimate home spaces. The glowing white of the snow out the window and the soft sound of flipping pages bring add a different feel to winter.
Pillows of the Week #6
In parallel with the Autumn Blues that are inspiring me this week, these pillows bring in the season without stereotypical reds and yellows. Deep, mysterious, and atmospheric, deep blue can add beautiful layers to a neutral couch needing some autumn love. Especially if you like something a little more unique!
Fall Colors - Autumn Blues
Autumn is the season of warm sweaters, burning fires, and deep natural woods. Warm tones are found absolutely everywhere, and autumn leaves burn the colors of the sun. I love the fall! Since it is my favorite season, I go all out. I want my clients to feel the season as much as I do! Blue may feel like an unexpected color for autumn, but the deep sea of Autumn blue washes a space in encompassing color without feeling fully winter. Cozy materials, and natural accents add to the feeling with reminders of the warm tones you typically think of when autumn crosses your mind.
Combining Styles
Jason and I have probably the most different styles that we could possibly have. Jason would prefer a studio apartment penthouse with minimal furniture. He has a dark industrial aesthetic and likes simple materials, with natural accents, and like a little bit of lodge too! My favorite combination of colors of gray and gold, and I love feminine touches, vintage accents, and lots of architectural detail. At least we both prefer neutrals right...
