When my client first bought this townhome in LA, everything she needed as a first time homeowner she recieved as hand me downs from family and friends. After living in the space for nearly a year, she realized that all those second hand goods were making her new space look tired and uninspired. An easy … Continue reading before & AFTER // Living Room // Los Angeles
before + AFTER // NURSERY // Beverly Hills
This spare room needed to play double duty as our client was expecting their second child in the next couple of months. However, changing the room into a complete nursery wasn't an option as the family needed to keep the extra bed for the occasional out of town guest. Watch as we flip this room … Continue reading before + AFTER // NURSERY // Beverly Hills
HOW TO // style Blush & Tan
Since I painted the living room armchairs a rich, warm cognac color (See the DIY here) - the rest of the room just looked incredibly bland. So much tan! Tan carpet, tan chairs, wood floors, wood shelves, wicker planters, greige walls - the list could go on and on. While I do not regret painting … Continue reading HOW TO // style Blush & Tan
HOW TO // Style Dalmatian Print
Spots, dots & the whole lot. Dalmatian print is making a bold statement in homes at the moment! I can attest to the power of this pattern as my entire design relationship with a favorite client of mine started with this super fun print. As it usually goes, the client was inspired by something she … Continue reading HOW TO // Style Dalmatian Print
HOW TO // Style Faux Real Fake Plants

However, not all my clients feel … Continue reading HOW TO // Style Faux Real Fake Plants

When one of your oldest friends rings up to say she's taking the plunge and opening up her own salon space - you jump at the chance to work with her and her partner on the design! After meeting with Erika & Cody I knew that our vision for the space was spot on - … Continue reading before + AFTER // Ash + Mae Hair Loft // Newport Beach

Where does the time actually go? I swear just last week I was commuting down to San Diego to work with the 710 Beach Rentals team on updating their office space, fighting the traffic both ways and working and reworking the plan to fit in the budget. Alas, no. I actually finished this project back … Continue reading before + AFTER // Real Estate Office // San Diego
