Perfectly imperfect

I first heard of the term ‘wabi sabi’ while visiting Taiwan.  Wabi-sabi was explained to me as a deep appreciation of things that are imperfect and impermanent.  In a world seemingly filled with Instagram influencers hawking ‘perfection,’ I embrace things that are perfect in their imperfection. Clients have heard me say: “Mother Nature does what […]

Decorating for clients with asthma or allergies

Mug with books and reading glasses

As the owner of an interior design firm that is service-driven and not sales-driven, I wanted to provide connection in a more meaningful way. So, earlier this month I created our very own VIP Insiders group. This group is also a way to honor my 2020 word of the year: PRESENCE. The first few questions in […]

Design Trends from High Point Market 2019

Trends from High Point 2018 furniture market

Gold and Metal Trend

When designers, decorators or furniture retailers talk about ‘market,’ they aren’t talking about their local farmer’s market or grocery store. They’re referring to High Point Furniture Market in High Point, North Carolina.  Earlier this month, when I journeyed to High Point, I had a shopping list for current projects, and I wanted to find new vendors […]

Why ‘European’ is synonymous with good-quality

Venice Canal

People frequently ask me what HGTV show(s) I watch for inspiration.  I don’t. WHY not, you ask?  HGTV has only one job: to entertain.  My design colleagues and I are frustrated by the propagation of unrealistic budgets, free labor, bad design, absurdly short timelines and the proliferation of the belief that ‘cheap is good.’  So, what […]

It’s DERBY DAY!  While my husband is reading about the horses and picking his favorites, I’m adding equestrian decor for a little our Derby fete this evening.

Signs that you’re a decorating ‘maximalist’

My husband jokes (frequently) that if a minimalist says “less is more” than I’m a maximilist because I say “If less is more, imagine how much more, MORE would be!” Here are some signs that YOU might be a maximalist: 1.  You love animal print and try to sneak a little in every room. 2. […]
