Inspiration

“We have always believed that a room isn’t finished until we’ve considered every last layer, right down to the artwork, accessories and especially the plants🪴! It’s a huge part of how we approach design and one of my favorite parts of the process.”

“We love a great textile story, and Schumacher is always one of our first stops when we’re looking for inspiration for a new project.”

“Sometimes the right fabric is all it takes to see a vintage chair or sofa in a whole new way. Reupholstering a piece you love can be where the magic happens, and it’s one of our favorite ways to bring vintage and new together for our clients.”

“Art can be one of the most challenging parts of designing a home because it’s so incredibly personal. It doesn’t just need to “work” with a room, it needs to connect with the people who live there.”

“Her process is deeply connected to the natural world, gathering stones and pigments on hikes, grinding them by hand and mixing them with water and walnut oil to create these incredibly layered, earthy works on raw canvas.”

“I’m always most drawn to spaces that couldn’t just exist anywhere, where the architecture, materials, objects and imperfections tell you something about the place and the people who have lived there. I think about homes the same way: the best ones aren’t trying to become something they’re not, but pull from their history, their surroundings and what was already there to create something that feels collected and specific.”

“There’s just something about summer in a cabin. Slow mornings, coffee on a screened-in porch, card games that last way too long, the sound of rain on the roof without getting wet, and staying outside until the fireflies come out. If you ask us, every house could use a little cabin energy… especially a great screened-in porch. 🌲☀️🏡”

“We spent most of yesterday in Skansen and took a ferry to Vaxholm this morning with no real agenda, ate homemade fika, wandered around looking at houses and flowers and boats, then somehow ended the day in Gamla Stan having dinner in a restaurant older than the United States. I haven’t even started seeking out design destinations yet and my camera roll is already overflowing.”
