I was born to be a designer. The only problem is, I didn’t come to that realization until AFTER I entered college as an English Lit Major. As an Lit major, you read: A LOT. Most weeks you read 4-6 books at a time. So, it was always a joy to read short stories. One […]
Tips to get cozy
The past few years the Danish concept of hygge (pronounced hewgah) has appeared in many of my design and shelter magazines. This idea, which I love, is about creating an environment that fosters well-being through coziness, ease, conviviality and candlelight. In fact, candlelight is almost a prerequisite because hygge, at its core, is defined as […]
Kitchen tile dont’s
I have been fortunate to work with some highly skilled tile installers and, to be frank, it is both art and science. These tile DONT’S are not all related to tile installation, but they prove that a successful installation requires ONE vision, preferably from a professional designer who can prevent these mistakes. When we work […]
Working with an interior design firm
Earlier this month, I made a presentation to a civic organization sharing how working with an interior designer will save a client time AND money. Working with a full-service interior design firm allows a client to work on everything at once. We create a cohesive plan which includes: creating a floor plan, selecting flooring, designing […]

Equestrian Decorating
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. My mind has been focused on the equestrian-look all week. I’m working with clients who want to update their family room. The home is a ski chalet and […]
Bathroom Design
I’m presenting our design ideas to clients tomorrow. They have a lovely second home tucked in the Vermont mountains and they decided it was time for an update. The house has 5 bathrooms so we’ve been BUSY!! While this is FAR from the ‘Vermont’ aesthetic, I thought it would be fun to share. I came […]
