Project Reveal: The Limestone Addition
There’s renovating… and then there’s trying to convince a 19th-century limestone house to let you add on without throwing a tantrum. Luckily, this one behaved. Mostly. And now that we’re on the other side of it, the whole space feels like a stunning extension to the original structure. And in case you didn’t guess it […]
My Go-To Red Paint Colors
Some paint colors are easy. White, beige, and even green can usually be figured out with a few samples and decent lighting. I feel like red is not one of those colors. Red can seriously test your patience, your decision-making skills, and sometimes your sanity. This list is meant to be your shortcut. As I […]
Home Inspiration: A Playful, Perfect Family Home in France
Every once in a while, a house stops me mid-scroll on Pinterest, and this one designed by Sean Symington was that house. It’s bold, layered, and unapologetically playful, but still somehow refined and timeless. Basically, it’s proof that you don’t have to choose between traditional and fun… you can have both, and it looks incredible. […]
Design Myths We Need to End Right Now
Because if I have to design one more room that includes all of these things, it may be my thirteenth reason. Let’s get something straight: your home is not a showroom floor.

How We’re Choosing the Perfect Exterior Paint Color Scheme for Our Home
If you’ve ever stood in front of a wall of paint chips at Sherwin Williams and thought, “Well, this is how I die,” then you know the struggle of picking the perfect paint. Selecting an exterior paint color scheme feels high stakes because, unlike an accent pillow, it’s not something you can just swap out […]
11 Eclectic Design Rules I Always Break
People love to say eclectic design has rules. Sure, okay. But half the charm comes from breaking every single one of them and still ending up with a space that feels like it belongs in a magazine… or at least your chaotic dream board. Here are the “rules” I ignore regularly and why it still […]
The Nancy Meyers Aesthetic: Home Design
There’s something about a Nancy Meyers home that lives in your head long after the credits roll. It’s not just the coastal lighting or the perfect kitchen island; it’s the entire vibe. These spaces are beautiful but lived in, layered but not cluttered, aspirational without feeling sterile. It’s the visual equivalent of a chilled glass […]
Currently Obsessed: More Color, Less Logic
I don’t know if it’s burnout, the state of the world, or just the slow creep of seasonal affective rebellion, but lately I’ve been leaning hard into design that doesn’t make a ton of sense… and looks better for it. Color? Yes. Pattern? Absolutely. Slightly wild floor tile that makes my traditional side go “wtf?!”? […]
Moody Maximalism: Why Your Home Needs a Little Drama
Alright, minimalists… look away (or, better yet, stay and get converted!). We’re living in a world of endless beige sofas and politely neutral walls, and honestly? It’s starting to feel like we’re all living inside a carton of almond milk. Enter: moody maximalism. It’s bold, it’s romantic, it’s slightly chaotic (in the best possible way), […]
