Your kids want to know that you can see them and that you care and we're fortunate enough to be able to do that.
I've always loved creating things with my hands.
Artists have always been my biggest source of inspiration.
I never thought that I would be a parent and have kids. It is the layer to my life that I never knew I would need. You are around honesty and vulnerability every day - it's so good.
I like being with my husband.
We've always read to the kids, every night both kids get books. That's really important, and they love books. Our daughter is obsessed with reading and books, so it's really sweet. She has her own little personal library.
Always play with the size and scale of the items on your bookshelf. Stagger the heights of books, vases, and picture frames and try to group in odd numbers.
Bookshelves are the most natural places for displaying your personal photos and picture frames. I always print our photos in black and white to keep a classic and cohesive look.
Books are always the best accessories to anything.
The spaces we live in should tell our story.
Fundamentally, I am all about finding interesting and authentic ways to incorporate nature into most of my designs.
In my opinion, there's not really a 'worst' flower; however, you do have to do some research based on the people whose space will hold the flowers. For instance, there are some flowers that are poisonous to have around kids or pets.
Break the rules - put a plant or a floral arrangement in a room that you wouldn't expect!
One of the best things to do with tablescapes in my experience, is really curating them with things that you've collected.
If I host something, even if it's just dinner at my house, I like the event to move. So that means cocktails in the family room, and then moving outside and having appetizers on the patio, and then moving to dinner at the dining table. It's just the idea of the event being curated to every little detail.
I like to set up bars at my parties so people can make their own cocktails and mix and match and teach each other different things.
My parents both flipped homes. A typical weekend for us was walking through model home units. I loved walking through interesting floor plans and seeing different design aesthetics.
When I was a kid I painted the walls in my room like 30 times!
I think it's really important to bring your own personality to the space you're in.
I always want there to be room for people to connect. That is so important, especially in an office.
