Love these planters in Newburyport. Who said navy and orange are too bold together? (the trick is the neutral on the trim.) Also I love with ranunculos in general. These took my breath away.

I am a decorator. I have not met a window treatment I didn’t like.

In this Arlington kitchen and dining room renovation, we used the same fabric twice. We were told it had been discontinued and even tried reselecting.

That’s when I did a hail mary pass and figured out who the mill was. Turns out we had been given the wrong information.

We were delighted we could get it. The panels and valance made the room.

This started as two very small, cramped rooms — a kitchen and a dining room in a 1920s gambrel colonial.

At one point, the client loved that. It felt dramatic, charming, a little quirky.

But over time, what she wanted changed.
She wanted to walk in the door and feel calm.

That's where we started.

The goal was simple: make the space work—and make it beautiful.

There was not enough storage and too much stuff and not enough wall space for a functioning kitchen. So we closed up some openings, added new windows for better light, and removed the wall between the two rooms.

We added as much storage as possible and rethought how the dining table sits in the room, pushing it to the side to improve flow.

The palette came from things she already loved — her glass collection and the pine trees seen outside the windows.

The result feels lighter, calmer, and like a breath of fresh air. A place to cook and gather. It just feels good.

Today is the day. Here's Arlington — completed. 🎉

Many months of planning. Many months of checking on progress. Many problems solved. And finally, it's done.

What was once two small cramped rooms filled with stuff is now an airy, calm space that's full of light and feels just right.

Did we Goldilocks it? Yeah. I think we did. 🐻

The client is happy. I am happy. We are all really happy.

Here's wishing my client many happy and healthy years in her new space.
This is what it's all about.

Walk This Way — Belmont Historic Hallway

In a home where every room flows into the next, the hallway is just as important as the main rooms. It's a transition space for sure, but no reason to keep it boring.

A vintage textile runner thrown over the railing, a textured rug, an oversized leaf drawing that widens the space, and William Morris prints on the wall. The master. Color, pattern, and texture — the same story as every room in this house, distilled into a small space.

Small space made to feel larger and more important than a pass through.

An antique flying geese quilt found at an estate sale that became a headboard. A handmade quilt at the foot of the bed. Photos the client took themselves. Two vintage nightstands found online. Rakku ceramic lamps that are perfect.
Assembled over time. Things the client loved. We added a side chair, a rug, and drapes to pull it all together.

This is what we mean when we say we design around what people love — not around a trend or a mood board.

When window treatments first go up they can be a little wonky. So you dress the drapes — get them to just behave. Amelia Bedelia would have put an outfit on them. We did not do that.

The valance and cafe curtains are in. Fabric has memory. You train it and it keeps its shape.

Almost there. 🪡

Those two windows on the right were originally silly piano windows — placed way too high to bring in much light or to see the garden. We took them out, reframed the openings to match the scale of the other windows in the room. Et voilà. More light, more air, a great view.

The before photo is mid-construction — ceiling open, walls framed out, tools on the floor.

First you fix the bones, then you decorate. The client is quite happy with the results. A changed room.

Installing cafe curtains over the kitchen sink. Everything is going smoothly — and then the installer looks at me. 'We're short a ring. Didn't you order enough?' I ordered enough. I call and it turns out the workrrom has an extra so I drove 35 minutes to the workroom and back. They sewed it on. We finished the install. You laugh. Otherwise you cry. You can't make this stuff up.

This room had great light and great scale and proportions. But an opportunity was there to improve. Goodbye silly piano windows — instead we put in two full sized windows with a view to the garden.
A reclaimed pine table, oatmeal upholstered chairs, a thrifted vintage chest, a teal Gabbeh rug, and commissioned feather drawings from a local artist. The chandelier speaks to the client's pottery collection. The fabric panels have an organic leaf pattern with a Japanese aesthetic — part of the color and pattern thread that runs through the whole house.
It was planned this way. It's how a home feels cohesive without feeling decorated.
