This was one of my (many) favorite spaces from our Weatherstone Project🥰 For our clients’ primary bedroom, we layered earthy neutrals, warm wood tones, and cozy textures to create a comfy retreat (and maybe a place to hide away from the kids too :)

This room is a great example of how a neutral palette doesn’t have to feel flat. Mixing textures, subtle patterns, and finishes can bring depth and interest to a space without overwhelming it.

This dining room at our Westmore project featured an accent wall that the builder had installed and I give them credit for the design choice! It had been painted a nice green…BUT it felt disconnected from the rest of the house.

We brought in a warm, neutral color palette to soften the contrast and make the millwork feel more cohesive with the rest of the home. Rich wood tones, a beautiful hand-knotted vintage-inspired rug, and a mix of traditional and modern furnishings helped bring it all together.

We love how the room is ready for many dinner parties celebrating all the great times. 💙

This third-floor bonus space at our Westmore project just needed a little love! ✨

A whimsical star-patterned wallpaper, custom built-ins, cozy carpeting, and a comfy armchair transformed this overlooked space into what’s now the homeowners’ favorite spot in the house. We love giving underutilized spaces a whole new purpose!

Some of the most inviting spaces begin as overlooked corners of a home.

What was once an empty front sitting room is now a warm, welcoming space where our clients love to spend time. We designed custom built-ins to make the most of the room’s architecture, added comfortable seating, and wrapped the space in a soft, cozy color. Original artwork adds a personal touch and another layer of character to the room.

Located just off the front entrance, we wanted this sitting room to be more than a space you simply pass by, but rather an inviting place to sit and stay awhile.

A huge thank you to DC magazine | Modern Luxury for including me in this year’s Dynamic Women issue!

It’s an incredible community of entrepreneurs, philanthropists, and changemakers across the greater DC area, and I’m so honored to be a part of it. I’m constantly inspired by the women I meet who are pursuing their passions, building businesses, giving back, and making a difference in their communities. It’s a reminder of the power women have to change the world when we support and lift each other up! Let’s go! 💪👏🤩♥️

As much as I love pink, I love purple even more. 💜

This powder room transformation at our Forest Hills project features a stunning Omexco wallcovering made from… wait for it… water lily leaves! 🫠

I love the incredible texture and depth it brings to this little space.

Omexco’s commitment to sustainable design makes their wallcoverings even more special. Proof that thoughtful materials can make a big impact, even in the smallest spaces. 💜💜💜

Swipe to see the before!

As part of our Forest Hills project, we also were asked to give this beautiful wood-paneled library a refresh.

We worked to customize the stain, creating a deeper, richer tone that softened the orange undertones while preserving the natural beauty and character of the wood.

We also added an incredible banana bark wallpaper to the backs of the shelves for texture and warmth, and brought in touches of aubergine to connect the library with the adjoining living room. A little color goes a long way, and we love how these subtle changes gave the space a whole new look and feel!

Our clients in Forest Hills, DC, wanted to transform their long living room into a space that felt both cozy for family gatherings and sophisticated for entertaining friends.

We created two distinct areas: a family space with a large sectional that reclines in multiple places (!!) and a more intimate cocktail area with a curved sofa, armchair, and (another!) recliner to encourage conversation and the occasional nap, too.

I incorporated curved furnishings to soften the transitions between the two areas, dentil crown molding and a limewash finish on the walls for texture and warmth, and sculptural lighting and beautiful shades of aubergine for a little fun.

We also widened the opening to the screened porch and added sliding glass doors to create a better connection to the outdoors.

This was such a fun project for me because it involved a lot of space planning and architectural details, in addition to the furnishings and finishes. And the best part? Our clients feel the room really reflects their style and how they want to live. 🥰💜🏠

This Forest Hills project holds a special place in my heart and to see it featured in DC Modern Luxury is the absolute BEST feeling!! 🥰✨

I worked closely with the homeowners on this whole-home renovation and furnishing project over the course of two years. A designer gets to know her clients well during that time, and one of the greatest joys of this profession is creating spaces that reflect not just how a family lives, but who they are.

Together, we transformed every corner of this home—reimagining the architecture, refining the flow, and layering in details that feel timeless and personal.

Projects like this are why I love what I do. It’s not just about creating beauty, it’s about crafting spaces that make you love coming home.

Thank you to my wonderful clients for trusting me with your home, and to DC Modern Luxury for the beautiful feature! 🙌😍🔥
