Baseball season is upon us! Here is a Baseball cap drawer in a clients’ mudroom. Collected, contained and protected - not to get dusty or faded. In our house, our dog, Magnus ( ) chews the brims of hats, so this would certainly come in handy.

Peek-a-boo through the stairway window to the dining room. Our clients had already selected the gorgeous Culpeper for the dining room, but needed something to coordinate on the nearby stairway. We went with their Etruscan Stripe, and it’s a truly lovely combo. Masterful installation by O’Berry Painting Co. with Lima Construction. A historic home’s restoration project nears completion.

I’m torn here, but not really. It’s always that wonder…some designers don’t do this, and that’s totally fine, but why am I doing it?

Today was paint color selection day for our clients’ repurposed furniture pieces.

Here’s the story:
The clients from one of our new construction projects told us they wanted “all new” furniture and that they didn’t want to take anything from their current home because it wasn’t the look they were going for. Fast forward through all of the new-build decisions and here we are at the furniture phase and I’m like, guys, your existing furniture is really good quality - solid wood and sturdy, you own it already, like want to just use it? But...we’ll have it all refinished to give it a new life so it goes from drab to fab? Whaddaya say?

Enter .with.her.hands and , some heavy lifting and here we are at paint color selection day.

We will be repurposing TWO king beds, TWO nightstands, TWO side tables, ONE giant, gorgeous armoire that will become linen storage in the second floor powder room / laundry room and ONE chest of drawers.

We didn’t have to do it this way, but why not!? I can spec, order, deliver and install furniture in my sleep, but why...when the pieces had good bones! There is a cost savings here to say the least, but we also saved fuel, materials, packaging, etc., so came into play as well. We’ve given some solid work to a local craftswoman extraordinaire too.

As a designer, am I supposed to do this? Some would say no. Poopoo to existing pieces, it must all be MY choice, but we’re not like that around here. We’re a high/low project kinda people. Some pieces cost thousands, some pieces cost hundreds and others you can already own.

This will give the house a little character, a little history and keep some of the clients’ existing furniture in the rotation. Is “ALL NEW” soul-less? I mean, dare I say...maybe?

Even if pieces aren’t the clients’ own, do you mix new and old, high and low on your projects?

In the Spring of 2025, Tapper Richards Interiors turned 18, making us officially adults. It certainly was a year filled with acting more like a grown up in business, having to make some big decisions. After several years of growth, for the first time since 2007, I downsized the team and went back to my roots of being a solo-preneur. I do miss seeing Allison and Liz on a regular basis, and often reflect on how lucky I was to have two incredible employees to grow with for almost four years.

Starting out with just a laptop on top of my bedroom dresser (because my little ones couldn’t reach it up there), I am grateful to now be entering year three of having the studio in Fairhaven Center and more clients consistently on our roster than ever.

I’m so fortunate and grateful for that.

My wish for you and yours is that the season brings comfort, peace, health and joy, and for a light-hearted New Year full of inspired spaces new and renewed.

I am so grateful for our network of wonderful trades and contractors as well as our growing community of clients and friends.

As always, please beep and wave if you drive by our studio at 130 Main St. in Fairhaven.

Happy Holidays and a Wonderful New Year,
Jen

Showstopper. I will eventually share more pics of this space, but for now I will say this was an absolute HOME RUN by - flawless and professional ex*****on of the design and vision for this ginormous bland, plain wall on our NBMA Mid-century project. “So fire”. And cheers always to clients who trust us to design something custom and take the leap with us.
