Some people are already thinking about the holidays.
Well… I’m some people. 😂

But here’s the thing—if you’re picturing a new dining room for Thanksgiving, a family room everyone actually wants to gather in, or finally finishing that space before the house fills up for the holidays…

September isn’t early. It’s time.

Beautiful rooms don’t happen overnight. There are layouts to perfect, pieces to select, furniture to order, window treatments to fabricate, lighting to install—and all of those little layers that make a room feel finished.

So while everyone else is waiting until November to think about the holidays, I’m thinking about the room you’ll be celebrating them in. 🤍

This is the season to start the room you want finished for the season.

What room would you want finished before the holidays? 👇

I know marble isn’t perfect. That’s exactly why I love it.

When I designed my own kitchen, I knew exactly what I was choosing. Marble can etch. It can stain. It requires care. And I’d still choose it again.

We’ve somehow gotten to a place where “practical” means something should look exactly the same 10 or 20 years from now. I’m not sure I agree.

Go to Europe. Marble has been used for centuries—in kitchens, cafés, hotels, floors, staircases. It has scratches. It has etches. It has patina. And we don’t look at it and think it’s ruined. We think it’s beautiful.

The same goes for so many of the natural materials I love to use. Wood changes. Brass patinas. Linen wrinkles. Leather softens. Natural materials live with you.

Does that mean you shouldn’t take care of them? Of course not. Seal the marble. Wipe up the red wine. Don’t leave a cut lemon sitting on the counter overnight. 😂 Take care of the beautiful things you invest in.

But then live in your house.

My job as a designer isn’t to tell every client they should choose marble. If an etch is going to make you crazy, I’ll be the first person to tell you it probably isn’t for you.

My job is to help you understand what you’re choosing—and decide whether the beauty is worth the trade-off.

For me? It is. Every single time.

So I have to know: marble in the kitchen—yes or never? 👇

This project is probably one of the best examples I can give you.

The original plan wasn’t wrong. It worked. It could have been built exactly as drawn.

But I wasn’t just asking, “Does this work?”

I was asking, “How are they actually going to live here?”

One structural post was dictating the kitchen, the island, and the flow of the entire main level.

So we asked a different question: What would it take to make it disappear?

A localized change from wood to steel. Same exterior walls. Same windows. Same square footage.

The result? A bigger working kitchen. A larger island. Better circulation. And one connected gathering space instead of three defined zones.

We didn’t make the house bigger. We made the square footage work harder.

An architect designs the structure.
A contractor builds it.
I ask how you’re actually going to live in it — before anyone frames a wall.

No one did anything wrong.

We were just asking different questions.

My clients don’t pay me by the hour — and that’s intentional.

After 17 years in this industry, I can often see the solution faster than I could earlier in my career. I can identify layout issues, proportion problems, sourcing opportunities and potential roadblocks because experience has taught me what to look for.

That shouldn’t mean I earn less.

And taking longer shouldn’t automatically mean a client pays more.

That’s why I charge a defined design fee based on the scope of the project, not a running hourly clock.

But let’s be clear: a fixed design fee does not mean unlimited design. A strong proposal should clearly outline the scope, deliverables, revisions, selections, drawings, renderings and what is — and is not — included.

The other important difference is that I’m not only a designer. I’m also the showroom.

Through my direct relationships with hundreds of furniture, lighting, cabinetry and home manufacturers, I’m able to provide my clients with access, purchasing power and a fully coordinated design experience.

My clients aren’t paying for minutes on a timesheet.

They’re investing in experience, expertise, problem-solving, product knowledge, vendor access and the hundreds of decisions required to create one cohesive home.

Interior design shouldn’t be about selling hours.

It should be about creating value and delivering a result.

What would you rather pay for: the time it takes someone to work, or the expertise it takes to get the right result?
