  • If Sunday was a mood...    Still loving the moody, chill vibe we created with pattern play, rich color and curated accents in this home office. This chaise is the perfect spot to catch some zzzz’s or curl up with a good book. Definitely wouldn’t mind spending Sunday morning here. ✨

  • 2020 has been a real roller coaster of emotion and activity. From the global pandemic and job loss to schools closing and the fight against inequality, we’ve all made sacrifices and been effected by the events of this year.    It can be challenging, but I’ve found that finding the silver lining is key to making through each day. Finding the blessing in what we do have and not focusing on what we don’t. Being grateful for all things, big or small.    Recently I sat down with @verandamag to share how my family finds joy through tradition during these unprecedented times.    SWIPE LEFT to read an excerpt from the article.

  • One of the best things about this time has been rediscovering all of the great things that went unnoticed when life was too busy.       Before, with school, extracurricular activities and work, we were often too busy to enjoy our outdoor space. But the past few months, the kids have been in the yard daily, from feeding the birds to running through the sprinklers. This Eid we discovered our outdoor space is also the perfect backdrop for family photos.     Have you been making more use of your outdoor space too?

  • This weekend, we joined millions of Muslims around the world in observance of the annual holiday Eid Al Adha.     In this time of unprecedented uncertainty, although the celebrations looked a bit different, it’s even more important to be grateful for blessings big and small. I celebrated the holiday with family, a renewed sense of faith, appreciation and gratitude.     Eid Mubarak to those celebrating this weekend! May this special time be filled with family, peace, gratitude and good health. #interiors

  • If you need me today, I’ll be here. ✨☀️✨    Designers often talk about bringing the “outdoors in,” meaning incorporating outdoor elements in your home’s design and décor. With this project, I did the reverse by bringing some of the comfort and drama of design elements traditionally used indoors outside to the deck.     Incorporating texture and pattern with the custom turf rug, cushioned seating with layered comfy pillows, mixed metals, elegant drapery (for privacy), contrasting black and white patterns with vibrant yellow accents created an outdoor room that’s inviting while also evoking a sense of luxury, glamour and a bit of edge… the perfect escape without leaving home.

  • Creating a curated space in your home is a journey and we help clients navigate through each phase of that journey.     I love that my clients weren’t afraid of mixing prints, colors or materials to achieve a fresh look for their living space.     One of my favorite pieces in this modern family living space is this contemporary glass and wood end table. I love the mix of materials! It allows for a blending of styles through out the space, provides great storage and makes for a pretty cool conversation piece.     How do you mix it up in your own home? Are you a color lover? Pattern lover? Or is mixing finishes more your thing?

  • Designing a space with personality is what makes the difference between a house and a home. Mixing color, pattern and design styles is always a great way to do just that.     Sharing a peak of a vibrant dining room project that really showcases the family’s bold personality. We loved working with clients who have a love for color and a bit of the unexpected.

  • Throwing it back to this bold space created for a modern family whose love for culture, travel, color and soul knows no bounds.     My client fell in love with the bold color and brush strokes of this piece. Her passion is Black art, activism and keeping Black culture and traditions at the forefront of her family’s life. We knew this piece would be the perfect focal point in the family’s fresh soulful dining room.    Choosing art for your home is a personal investment. I always encourage clients to select pieces that really speak to them and reflect who they are or who they want to be.     What does the art in your home say about you?

  • The goal has always been to make them proud. Those who came before us endured and sacrificed so much for the hope of freedom and equality. Everyday I strive to ensure that their sacrifices are remembered, that the legacy of their unbreakable spirit continues and that their dreams are one day actualized. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Juneteenth has been celebrated by African Americans for over 150 years (since 1865). However, this year the significance of Juneteenth resonates with all Americans. ⁣⁣Black history is American history. ⁣⁣ Imagining what those who came before us would say now. What a time to be alive!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Art has always given voice to the oppressed, those who otherwise would not be seen or heard. Sharing this beautiful piece by @mister_michelle fittingly entitled “PREVAIL” in celebration and recognition of this important day.

  • Team Neutral or Team Color? We often hear about the pros and cons of designing a colorful space versus one that is neutral. ⁣ But who says you can’t have a little of both?⁣ ⁣⁣ Adding pops of green, blue, hints of purple and lots of curved pieces in this open floor plan space not only made the space feel cohesive, it also adds a bit of excitement and interest too. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ What types of spaces resonate more with you? Do you tend to lean more toward neutral spaces, do you enjoy bold color, or are you some where in between ?

  • There’s always an unexpected design element in the spaces I create. ⁣ ⁣ Sometimes it’s the wall color, sometimes it’s a vintage piece, sometimes it’s a mix of pattern or finishes. In this space, it’s the combination of the vintage burl wood dining table and those lucite chairs. ⁣ ⁣ I fell in love with the unique swirls, twists and interlocking abstract graining of the wood and knew it needed to be showcased. So we went with chairs that almost seem to disappear around the table, ensuring that you don’t miss any of the table’s beauty in this eclectic-meets-traditional space. ⁣

  • Morning Light ✨⁣ ⁣ Heading into the new week feeling inspired and ready to dig into design work. I love including statement making pieces in the spaces I design and this curved velvet sofa certainly adds just the right amount of drama and elegance to this bright, eclectic meets traditional space we recently completed. It makes a statement with both its rich color and unique lines and those brass legs. ⁣ ⁣ Statement making furnishings are a cool way to say a bit about your taste and style without actually saying a word. They’re what make your home distinctly yours! Is there a piece in your home that really speaks to who you are and what you love?
