There are certain standards I hold for myself and for anyone I choose to bring into my clients’ projects—whether that’s a supplier, general contractor, retailer, installer, or other industry professional.

Some of my collaborators are completely aligned with those standards. They communicate. They collaborate. They take ownership. And, most importantly, when something inevitably goes sideways—as things sometimes do in this industry—they are responsive and work with me to find a solution.

Others, unfortunately, do not.

So far, I’ve had exceptionally poor experiences with two local drapery retailers.

The first was recommended by someone in my industry whose professional standards I respect, so I felt confident walking in. Instead, I left feeling as though my business was an inconvenience. With the exception of one young woman who was genuinely helpful, the experience was dismissive, unwelcoming, and completely at odds with the level of service I expect for my clients.

The second came recommended by someone I trust within my business network, and that experience has left me genuinely lost for words. I can only assume she had a very different experience than I did, because what I encountered falls far below the standard I expect from anyone I bring into a client relationship.

Initially, I chose not to say anything. Things happen. Orders get delayed. Mistakes are made. Problems arise, and sometimes they are genuinely nobody’s fault.

But there is a significant difference between an occasional problem and a repeated pattern of poor communication, lack of follow-through, and unwillingness to collaborate. At some point, it stops being “something happened” and becomes the way a business chooses to operate.

And that matters to me.

When I recommend someone to a client, my name and reputation are attached to that recommendation. I take that responsibility seriously.

So my takeaway from these experiences is simple: I will be far more selective about the businesses and professionals I bring into my projects going forward.

Good work alone isn’t enough. I expect communication, professionalism, accountability, collaboration, and respect for the client.

If those things aren’t there, neither is my business.

Before we choose any material, we have to make the space work. Identify the client needs is the first step in space planning. This is not just the laundry room. It has to work as storage and also function as a mudroom without feeling crowded.

Nassau Quartzite takes center stage in this bathroom concept.

One of my favorite details is the soft glow surrounding the stone. Rather than placing a visible light fixture around it, the quartzite is slightly recessed and concealed lighting is tucked behind the surrounding surfaces.

Because you never see the light source itself, you simply see the effect: a soft halo that makes the stone appear to float while highlighting its natural movement and color.

It’s a good example of how lighting doesn’t always need to come from a decorative fixture. Sometimes, the most effective lighting becomes part of the architecture itself.

The stone creates the drama and the lighting makes you notice it.

A little progress peek from our Grovetown, GA project. ✨

This primary bathroom is still very much a work in progress, but the transformation is already taking shape.

We started by reworking the original layout to create a space that feels more intentional, functional, and architecturally balanced. From there, the client gave us a clear direction: glamorous, with a touch of retro.

The dramatic blue stone-look tile is setting the tone, but this is only the backdrop. The personality will really come together in the finishing layers — particularly the lighting and mirrors, which will introduce that subtle retro influence and give the room the glamour the client was looking for.

There is still plenty to come: fixtures, lighting, mirrors, finishing details, and all those final layers that turn construction into a finished interior.

For now, we couldn’t resist sharing a glimpse of the process.

The creative process can be wonderfully unpredictable.

Sometimes I wake up with an idea already forming in my head, a color, a shape, an architectural detail, or sometimes almost an entire room like this morning. And when that happens, I want to capture it before it disappears. I often wake up in the middle of the night and start drawing or working on my computer collecting images because else I lose that inspiration.

This minimal eclectic concept started exactly that way.

I began imagining what would happen if I took the ornate architecture of a classic Parisian apartment and introduced something completely unexpected: a bright yellow curved velvet sofa, purple barrel chairs, a sculptural turquoise glass chandelier, contemporary art and a graphic black-and-white floor.

And then I started designing.

On paper, those elements could easily become chaos. But eclectic design works when everything has a reason to be there.

Here, shape is one of the common languages. The curve of the sofa is repeated in the rounded chairs and circular coffee table. In contrast, the angular floor lamp, geometric fireplace and strong lines of the floor speak to one another.

Color creates another connection. The artwork pulls together the yellow, purple, turquoise, black and warmer tones used throughout the room, while the architecture itself remains deliberately neutral, giving everything else room to breathe.

None of these elements need to “match.” They simply need to relate.

Whether I’m designing something farmhouse, traditional, contemporary, minimalist or this eclectic, the fundamentals don’t change: scale, proportion, balance, rhythm, repetition and juxtaposition and all those interior design principles that are created to make a space feel beautiful.

The aesthetic comes from how those principles are applied, the colors we choose, the shapes we repeat, the materials we combine and the contrasts we create.

That’s why good design isn’t really about knowing how to create one particular “look.” It’s about understanding the principles well enough to speak different design languages.

Design history has never stood still. Every era has reacted to what came before it, embracing ornament, rejecting it, rediscovering color, simplifying again and reinventing old ideas in new ways.

We’ve spent years surrounded by gray, greige and extremely restrained interiors.

Maybe it’s time to experiment again.

That doesn’t mean everyone needs a yellow velvet sofa and purple chairs. This room certainly won’t be for everyone and it shouldn’t be.

It means giving ourselves permission to use color, contrast and personality again without abandoning the principles that make a space feel resolved.

Different doesn’t have to mean chaotic, it can still be intentional.

There are circumstances where our clients request the minimal amount of demolition as possible. In this particular scenario, the vanity already had a beautiful countertop that the client wanted to preserve.

Removing a countertop and reinstalling it, not only it can be quite difficult to do, but it’s also risky as stone can break in the process.
This client wanted the vanity to feel new but wanted to avoid demolition and downtime.
They also felt that something was not quite right.

As interventions we worked with the existing vanity, we optimized the storage inside the vanity by adding pull out shelves, and we changed the look of the vanity by adding custom new doors and hardware.

We moved the lights up, we added fluted tiles to the back of the vanity to create some architectural interest, and then we substituted the current mirrors for taller mirrors.

We then harmonized all of the finishes to brushed gold.

The result is an elevated primary bathroom, without the disruption of demolition and the risks involved with it.

Sunday bathroom inspiration. This is my take on someone’s bathroom. The basis were there I took it to a stronger direction.

Some ideas have great potential, a lot of people are scared to embrace the bold but I love it.

Below the original idea and my take on it.
