An amazing bonus to be included in @luxemagazine’s snapshot feature across the country for this floral moment. Pattern drenching has become a trend but here I wanted to mask some architectural imperfections. A guest bedroom should always have a

The icing on the cake to participating in the 20th anniversary of @hwdesignonadime is having @housebeautiful feature my vignette in this online piece! Last week I had the honor of creating a vignette (in one day!) with 50 other top designers all in t

Happy happy Friday! And happy to share the scheme for my @hwdesignonadime vignette. It started when I saw this @harlequinfw fabric at the new @sanderson1860 showroom in London. I wanted to juxtapose it with some of their more traditional prints. Juli
