Curating joyful homes, blending vintage charm with modern style. Let's create a space you love.

We like our design with a little less algorithm and a lot more human. 🫶

Thank you to and Sarah Lyon for including this project in their story on making small bedrooms feel bigger.

For this room, we kept the walls and trim the same deep blue to blur the edges of the space and make it feel less visually broken up. The patterned window treatments, floral bedding, and warm accents then add dimension without overwhelming the room. It’s a good reminder that making a small bedroom feel bigger isn’t always about making everything lighter.

When my clients came to me, they wanted a home that felt curated without feeling like a museum. We kept the traditional architectural foundation but softened everything with modern furniture, color, and pattern for a much more relaxed feel.

The right wallpaper completely transforms a room, whether you’re craving rich texture, a pop of color, or a full-on statement print.

It’s easily one of my favorite ways to inject real personality into a space. 🩵

A bathroom dressed to the nines. 🩷

This was the bathroom in our Lake Forest Showhouse cabana at Pembroke Lodge, a 1925 David Adler property. Inspired by old 1920s seaside hotels and summers along the Connecticut coast, we wanted the bathroom to capture that same playful, nostalgic feeling.

We started with Isidore Leroy wallpaper and bamboo trim, then layered in pieces with their own history: a vintage light fixture sourced in France, a vintage Italian rattan mirror, and a Slim Aarons photograph. Together, the mix of pattern, natural texture, and vintage finds gives this little bathroom plenty of personality.

I’m not saying every room needs wallpaper. I’m just saying most rooms could use it. 👀

The recipe for a kitchen with character: a dash of celery cabinetry, warm brass accents, and zero fear of pattern. 💚

My favorite kind of travel souvenir is a new idea for a room. 🧳✨

Where should I travel next for inspiration?

Tucked into the attic of our former Victorian, this was my workspace and one of those rooms that made sitting down to work feel a little more inspiring. 💭✨

The floral wallpaper from brought in the pattern and character I love, while the vintage chair, blue hardware, and collected pieces made it feel personal. When you get to spend your days doing something you love, it’s pretty special to have a room that makes you happy to sit down and get to work.

A little time away from the studio for some much-needed family time in Prague and Poland. 🫶

We wandered through beautiful old towns, took in the scenery, and found a few treasures along the way. And, of course, the designer in me couldn’t help noticing the beautiful architecture, old buildings, colors, patterns, and little details everywhere we went.

Feeling very grateful for the time away, the family time, and a camera roll full of moments and inspiration I’ll be thinking about long after the trip.
