Residential Interior Design Over 150 years ago my great-great-grandfather Tattersall invented the pattern that has become known as the Tattersall Plaid.

When his grandson (my grandfather) Tattersall immigrated to the US in the 1920’s from England, he ran textile mills. By the time I was born the intrigue for fabric, style, and design had been seeping into my DNA for generations. After college in 1984 it seemed like a fun idea to accept a part-time job selling for Ralph Lauren - though I could never have foreseen how that decision would shape the next 23 years of my life. As it happened, during my tenure with Polo, I worked and/or visited nearly every Ralph Lauren store in the world - from New York to Tokyo, Moscow to London, Buenos Aires to Kansas City, I learned how Mr. Lauren’s sense of style could be interpreted to fit within different cultures. I saw how something could be so perfect in Dubai, yet with a little twist work as well in Cannes or Charleston or Sydney. From 1994-1998 fate found me in Florence, Italy, where I took a brief hiatus from Polo to work for Cole-Haan, ( I returned to Polo when I moved back to New York in 1998). My Italian years made a definite stylistic impression on me: the building I worked in was built in the fifteen century - while the building I lived in was erected in the sixteenth; all things Renaissance became a part of me. And now, having lived on Maui since 2007, I design home and business interiors with a style called “World Collection.” My approach to design combines 1) all that I learned from Mr. Lauren, 2) what I experienced during my Italian years, and 3) what came down through my bloodlines - all to create spaces that are warm while at the same time unique and one-of-a-kind for my clients.

Wallpapering a 12’ high entry ceiling for a client who loved the idea …. My Wallpaperers while balancing on ladders - not so much!

This small bathroom makes a big impact. One of my favorite bathrooms I’ve ever designed ... I could move right in!

Kitchen Afters (and a Before!)

A classic After (then Before), this finished renovation of a 1906 Edwardian in San Francisco was great fun. The historical research, the details, the colors, the texture — all came together to recreate what it may have looked like in 1906.

A Day in the Life ….. Prepping for a client meeting on my dining room table by rolling out de Gournay wallpaper sample with possible ceiling options.

This condo in LA, on a limited budget, was able to transition from Standard Issue to the Home of an Artist. The biggest expenses were stripping the red floors and refinishing to a more natural finish, adding wallpaper, and paint (ceilings all done in a semi-gloss finish as opposed to flat, which heighten the rooms and add a shimmering glow at night).
