Hill Country interiors in Rue
Just in case you wanted to linger on the images 😘…our #hillcountryunexpected project with @harpersmithphoto (love u!) + @cameronduddy is on newsstands this week! What a crazy ride this one was, culminating in me taking the photos (kitchen + piano shot by @claire_schaper) with phone support by @coreindustries ! Since I’m a total control freak, we usually shoot together with Corey behind the camera but we couldn’t make this one work so 2 weeks before a major MOVE I flew to TX on Mother’s Day and GOT IT DONE (imagine the pressure of taking photos of an amazingly talented pro photographer’s home, Hi Harper 😂)…not sure I’ve ever worked this hard for photos (and I’ve had some intense shoots) but it’s all good because the incredibly awesome @kellilamb_ wanted it for @ruemagazine and my life is complete, Merry Xmas, Happy Birthday ,thank you thank you and bye now💪🏻💥⚡️🔮💫📸🧿❣️
Behind the camera in the Hill Country
Something exciting dropping tomorrow in the Winter Issue of @ruemagazine … our #hillcountryunexpected project with @harpersmithphoto + @cameronduddy where we blurred the lines between photographer and designer; Harper and I played both in the ultimate creative collab. Much thanx to @kellilamb_ for acknowledging this crazy adventure, can’t wait to share my first photography byline and our beautiful work. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Holiday color from day to night
Night and Day…after two years of crazy holiday trips, so happy to have this one at HOME. Excited to 🪺for the next week. What’s your favorite way to BE at home?
Styling a light-filled kitchen with friends
Thinking about our friends @shopjonesandco and @denver_modern @veeelark @ginawhitee @dedalusboulder @rosie_crain @ianwarrenphoto @coreindustries …stumbled upon these great shots from our collab last year and wanted to share again. We all worked our butts off that day and got a crazy amount of content💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻…love this season so much even though it’s intense and exhausting😂…and this kitchen design still holds up pretty well 6 years later.
Camp Altezza in Colorado Homes and Lifestyles
Our @campaltezza project was just published in @coloradohomesmag and we are so thrilled! Big thanks to Alicita Rodriguez for such a great write up and beautiful layout and to @davidlauerphoto @coreindustries and @brandidentitypr …it’s so pretty there this time of year, book your stay, link in bio!
Dark Cotto tile for a kitchen peninsula
Kitchen peninsula got a sweet upgrade this week courtesy of @zia_tile … obsessed with their #cotto series especially the new colors like oscura🖤🤎
A loft bed makes room to play
Sharing some quick iPhone shots from our shoot last week for @oeufnyc . Their new Perch Nest bed really transformed our small space, opening up lots of extra room to play and hang out. A traditional height bunk bed wouldn’t work because of the ceiling fan so this was the perfect solution (and a bit more safe for a crazy 7 year old monkey). The Nest is by far the most well designed loft/bunk on the market and I’ve looked at them all and bought quite a few (and in case you’re wondering they aren’t paying me to say that, I just really adore the brand and their products; note 2 credenzas by Oeuf under the loft too😂) more pro photos to come soon!
Graphic color at the Pacific Motel
Had the best chat with Ryan last weekend, @thepacificmotel is his baby and we were 𝕚𝕞𝕡𝕣𝕖𝕤𝕤𝕖𝕕. Some of y’all know it’s my dream to overall a 𝕞𝕠𝕥𝕖𝕝 (or 7) so to be able to talk with someone who’s done it so well was very 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐬. A little nod to #wallpaperwednesday in there too, nicely done✔️
Inside Barbara Bestor’s studio
Talk about the real deal…had the honor of chatting with @barbarabestor recently after admiring her work for years…she was kind enough to answer my 99 questions and I left feeling super inspired. If you don’t know @bestorarchitecture spend a little time in their site and you’ll see why I’m obsessed. Thank you Barbara for making time, that meant a lot to me, excited to see what you do next! (Also her book makes a cool gift for folks that nerd out over design🎄🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️)
A visit to Trudy Perry’s studio
My second visit to @trudyperrydesigns studio was super special; she taught Marlowe how to create her signature wrapped soft sculptures and sent us home with a custom kit! So happy to know you Trudy, I cannot wait to see what you create in Mexico 💫✨🪢🧶🇲🇽
Color replaces brown in a Durango living room
What a difference a year can make…these photos are the tiniest peak into the massive remodel we designed in Durango with @adacolme and I’m literally dying to get over there and see everything. The hardest part about remote projects is missing out on half of the experience; design is like 10% of our job but what happens in between the plan and the end of the project is the really amazing stuff. I was so grateful to have the most collaborative GC who pushed his team to do all kinds of things they had never done before; their work and our client’s vision brought this magic to life. So fun to work with folks that are confident in what they love and bold in their choices. There wasn’t a surface we didn’t touch here and I can’t wait to show you everything. ❤️💛💙🤍🇻🇪 (love this sofa so much but have since experienced customer service nightmares so I would steer clear of Floyd)
Collected texture at Verellen
Verellen…it’s a whole vibe over there and I’m all for it…so excited to install some of their beautiful pieces in our #musicalmountainhideaway project (and many more to come). They can do no wrong💓 @verellenfurniture @thomasverellen
A wall of textile possibilities at Kravet
I like to have options @kravetinc … what an intense couple of weeks, looking forward to organizing my house tomorrow and sleeping until 6:30 (hopefully 😂).
Lighting discoveries at Mitzi
So excited to see @home_ec_op ‘s whimsically elegant lighting creations for @mymitzi in person and meet the Lady herself (a kindred spirit indeed). Big thanx to @lights_and_breezy for the royal treatment and @hudsonvalleylighting for delicious treats and all the pretty lights (there are too many good ones to keep track!!!)💡💕💡
Designing a space for My Rowe Design
Pinch me! When I was invited to design a space for @rowefinefurniture many months ago I had no idea what I was in for (mind you the design deadline was 2 weeks after our move🤯)?!?? My biggest goal in 2023 was to “say yes!” so here we are and what an incredible YES this one turned out to be. The team has been truly amazing/supportive and gave me more freedom than I have ever experienced on a project. Walking into a completely built-out space that I designed was a surreal experience I hope can happen more often 😂. So much gratitude for Rowe, @restylesource @brandidentitypr @highpointmarket @coreindustries @reginaandrewdetroit @jaipurliving @shadowcatchers @cyandesignhome @amityhome @accentdecorinc @mitchell__black and @southernmimi55 + @joepigliacampo for keeping my babies safe and happy. @highpointmarket has been incredible and I’m honored to be doing this alongside @greyhuntinteriors + @frenchandfrenchinteriors (don’t worry I’ll be showing you their incredible spaces too!) . THANK YOU everyone this has been a dream✨💥💫🔮
Behind the scenes at Rowe
This 📸 moment at @rowefinefurniture has been in the works for months and I think my face says it all; I’m in my happy place, surrounded by design. Most of the time it feels like I can never move fast enough, get there soon enough, but as my Dad always reminds me, the ride is the best part, since “there” is a moving target. I’m grateful to be on this journey and super psyched to be part of @highpointmarket this year. I’ve had a lot of help and support and encouragement and I don’t take that for granted. Here we go!
A special tile moment in a shower niche
All the pretty materials we specified months ago are finally getting installed at our #musicalmountainhideaway for @brandybschultz + @wesleyschultz like these jammy zellige tiles from @cletile . This shower niche got an extra special magical tile moment courtesy of their travels through Turkey this summer 💫✨💥 such a cool team I’ve gotten to collaborate on this project with, truly a dream @conklin_architecture @eplordredesign @aarondunndesignbuild @simonefelicemusic
Collected displays at Leclair’s General Store
My first stop after Mom & Dad’s in Fayetteville… @leclairsgeneralstore is such a visual smorgasbord I can spend an hour just wandering around, taking it all in and finding too many things I want to buy. Retail is not dead people!!! I’ll post a reel to make sure someone actually sees these but this place must be documented; if you’re in the area make sure to pay them a visit (their coffee @hatchetcoffee is 💫✨💥 too)
Color and combinations at Modernica
Quick stop at @modernica last week - so many incredible options for their Case Study chairs…I love dreaming up combinations and pairings. Not only are they timeless and comfy but also extremely practical for anyone with messy little people that think chairs should be napkins 😵💫
Terrazzo sets a new bathroom direction
Finally time to attack one of our wild bathrooms…with guests coming for the holidays and 2 showers out of commission we couldn’t wait any longer to get at least one of them up to speed. So pumped to have landed on this stunning terrazzo from @concretecollaborative - it’s going to totally transform this mid 90s dream shower into my version of an #ancientfuture sanctuary✨🪩🪴…follow along for progress later this month!
